    My gf of two years broke up with me four days ago over the phone. I begged, pleaded, looked weak and pathetic, but obviously that didn’t work because it never does – I know that now, and it won’t happen again.

    We agreed to meet up in person in two weeks time and avoid contacting each other in between, but this was before I looked online and found out about no contact.

    I haven’t contacted her in the four days since we broke up. The first two days I was an anxious mess, but now thanks to coach lee’s videos on youtube I feel fine (highly recommend them to those on here who aren’t familiar). However, I’m concerned that given we agreed to no contact, and that we know we’ll be seeing each other in two weeks time, is it actually ‘no contact’? Since there’s no uncertainty, since she’s knows that I’m not contacting, but will be soon, does this situation have any real benefit?

    I’m considering sending her a text saying that I apologise for how I acted (the begging and pleading), that I accept and respect her decision, that I want to move on with my life and that I no longer wish to meet on our specified date. By doing this I want to appear strong, and I also want to remove any sort of certainty she has about me texting her in the future. I would, however, make it clear that I am willing to meet up in the future so that she doesn’t feel alienated.

    I’ll be honest and say I do want to get back together, so I don’t want to say that I never want to see her again and risk alienating her or appearing bitter, just that the proposed date is far too soon for me and leave it at that.

    With the above considered, does this seem like the correct approach? If you think I should still meet up, should I still send her a text saying I’m okay with everything, and then re-initiate no contact? Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Why does she want to meetup in 2 weeks? Did she give you a reason?

    What I would do is meet in two weeks, be happy and unaffected by everything. Work on yourself. In the meeting, do not talk about the relationship at all. Then after the meeting, regardless of what is said or what happens, go NC for a month. I think that saying anything now about not wanting to meet would just make you sound like you are pouting.
