    Well, in my opinion it could just be usual contact to check out, or may be she is trying to initiate. I would suggest that if all going well with you and if you can handle it – just start being casual with her and you may reply with short messages without explaining too much, without talking about relationship and staying and looking positive. Do not share more details, stay friendly but more like acquaintances and let her take initiatives with times. I believe that could be best way for you as of now.

    So it seems going great for you, as such long talk mean it’s working in your favor. It’s good that you are not initiating contacts ans she is doing so. And about the meeting, ideally it should not be too engaging initially but if you can not say no, I would suggest to be happy version of yourself while being with her. Having sex mean engaging too much, and it would be more appropriate if things become better in relationship before that. You may plan something at same time and gently make the meeting short while saying to her that you have some other engagements. It is really best to take things slowly which you are already doing, and if too much of engagement happens or anyone thinks to get intimate as of now, it could cause emotional breakdown to any of you and may make things worse in my opinion. Stay friendly, be nice and let it go slow. Wish it could help you.

    You are doing great in my opinion if you are working on yourself and improving things for self, and it is all working in your favor. I would suggest you to continue doing same, clearly she is confused – hot and cold which mean she wants to get back but will need time to be clear on this. Let her initiate things and stay as good friend for a while, without thinking much about relationship for the moment. This is called limited contact and it would be helpful for her to realize what she is missing, as long as you are happier for yourself and can look confident and positive. Have patience as it is worth of really and wait a while, it all going to be good for you. Hope this could help and post if you have further questions, good luck.

    Yes, it happens like we keep wondering why they have not responded, it could be yes or no. But real reason is that you ex is most probably more confused than you, she doesn’t know what should be replied right now and may take lot of time to answer this, it is quite normal. You should just stay in NC, the ball is in her court and probably you should receive a communication in a week or so, or may be little late. You shouldn’t worry at all by acknowledging their confusion, and keep doing great. πŸ™‚

    I am glad it helped, and you are doing great. This fear is normal too. It may sound weird but what I feel that once you let her go, let the thoughts of whether she will come or not should go along as well. Truth is, she will return but for now shouldn’t worry about it because purpose of NC is to focus on self and we are doing that to become much better than we have been during emotional breakdown, for benefit of all. Agreed, sometimes the sadness occur given possibility of she may won’t return (I highly doubt that, personally I have seen exes making contact at a point if we can do strict NC, always!!) but it’s us to deal with this thought or sadness, either to stick to it and drowning ourselves or let this thought go away by remembering the reason behind and getting the focus back on ourselves.

    If we are thinking positive, doing best we can and feeling good about what we are doing, there is no reason it won’t turn out good. Yes, we don’t know by when – may be a month, may be more but meanwhile why shouldn’t we just keep improving ourselves, and love life as it is. Leave worries behind, you are gonna have best times ahead.

    I think you should go ahead and send it if you are at a stage of feeling good about yourself and thinking of closure. It would make you feel relieved as well, and I hope you are at a stage where you can handle whatever the response is. Best wishes! πŸ™‚

    Hey, you did well and you should continue NC. IMO you should let her initiate things once she contacts you. Personally I did the mistake that as soon as I got her, I started discussing about relationship and how much it mean for me and all that, and it just made things worst again. So lesson learnt is, let her contact, let her initiate things, and take everything VERYY slowly. Initially, avoid talking about relationships, give vague answers and be friend from your side for few weeks, and let her realize and work on reconciliation. After seeing your posts, it seems you have great chances and just keep working on yourself, of course best is about to happen. πŸ™‚
    Cheers, good luck!

    Most welcome, and don’t think yourself weak. In fact we are only weak as long as we consider ourselves that way. And what we have to do – we have to do that happily and it would turn out beautiful, trust me. πŸ™‚

    Do one thing, watch a small movie – ‘The Secret’ if you have not watched or read this book yet, it is about law of attraction and it works if applied with full faith, I personally benefited from it, lol. Search on youtube.

    Awesome. Now whatever happens just don’t loose focus else you will only feel pain later. Consider this period as your test and you have to anyhow accomplish it for yourself, for your life, and became like what mentioned above. Be determined, best wishes.

    From your posts it seems you really need to focus completely on yourself for the moment and do strict no contact. The secret to fixing relationship is, be better version of yourself with happiness inside, and stop obsessing about ex. Read the main page of this website, and think what all you have done during no contact to improve yourself. If you would have done the no contact correctly, you should be in happier state and it all would be really easy, else you might be feeling the pain. Again I would say, if you really want to fix things, do NC, just focus on yourself and let him go away for a while, including thoughts about him which is making you weak. As long as you are letting him over your head, you would not be able to be in a state to reconcile.

    Also, don’t blame yourself for whatever happened. It already happened, it is past and you just can not change it all, it was just because of circumstances and your being in bad emotional state. So stop blaming yourself, now is the time for being true you and as Kevin said – Remember, that you don’t have to move on. It will be almost impossible for you move on at the moment. But you have to stop being that clingy, needy person and become a confident and attractive person.

    And to become that person, you will have to “sort of get over him”. Once you achieve that, you will instantly be confident, attractive, and he will be all over you when you two meet again. You can reach that level of confidence and attractiveness. It will make you irresistable to your ex. And to be honest, it’s not even that difficult.

    But for now, just be happy and take care of yourself. No one else will do that for you. Good luck, hope this helped.

    Oh well, it happens as during breakup or intense relationships you become emotional mess and do things you regret later, part of human nature. As suggested on this website, the real reason being no contact is to improve, be positive and be better human being though it seems difficult and impossible initially.

    I would suggest you not to regret much for what you have done, even it was mistake. We are human and may behave odd given worse circumstances and being in rough emotional state, and regretting too much or getting into it will be of no help. The best thing we should do in such case to help ourselves, keep being better and positive about ourselves and life ahead. Who knows if you are best version of yourself, a happier one, you may wont even remember this phase after 10 years. Cheers and keep doing great for yourself. Good luck. πŸ™‚

    Yes, best luck and I replied to your mail. Most important thing during NC is to realize that your happiness depends on you, and once you are true happier and best version of yourself, nothing will seem impossible. Keep the focus on yourself, best wishes. πŸ™‚

    You did a mistake while being too much into emotions and it happens, you can’t reverse that and regretting it won’t help anyways so better you should relax now and try to focus on yourself. The purpose of NC is to take lot of time, clear your own mind, and be a happier and confident person, otherwise you would not be able to handle relationship.

    Follow strict NC and if you can do that – there is always chance, even after worst happened. Believe me, I have seen that happening so I am no longer worried. Only thing you can do now is to do complete strict NC while forgetting about relationship and focusing on your happiness. Once its over, just stay totally friendly and let her initiate things. Hope it may help, good luck.

    Most welcome and sure you should stay strong doing NC. I made the horrible mistake of breaking NC while I was not in clear mind and it messed up everything, made worse for me and I know now stronger and going to complete longer NC; and focusing on my life and happiness is only option for betterment of all for longer run. I am pushing myself to limits, planning and doing things I always dream earlier, like taking long vacation, mastering special skills like photography, getting in touch with old friends, doing mountain climbing and all, lol. If I or for that matter you were best for her, let her realize more with time – it always works. You will know soon, with NC you are even helping her too to realize what she is missing, so it is absolutely necessary to cut of contact for a while, if she is messaging everyday reply calmly and positively that little time is needed for both, like Kevin mentioned and do best.

    Glad it made you smile, keep doing great. πŸ™‚

    Hey you should just continue NC with acknowledging the need that focus should completely be on you and your happiness, for which you are responsible. What matters most is your being back in own life for the duration of NC and of course you are doing that for yourself. Its difficult but you should think of making things better for yourself without giving much thought to relationship for the moment. Of course hers is rebound and just give it time, do complete NC and when you feel the happiness and confidence within you will be much clear mind to decide and think or talk to her. Just be happier, do what makes you feel good without harm and stay in NC. It’s going to be easier with days!! Relax. πŸ™‚
