    Ugh how did you respond. I’ve received similar from my ex in the past and whilst you could get back together it also just seems like a lead on so you’re still in her life. I probably wouldn’t have responded myself because I feel it might have led into an emotional conversation. If you did reply is that what happened ? I think friends with your ex is bullshit and I’ve told my ex as much. As much as I want him in my life I’m too crazy to sit back and watch him move on, but I don’t know about you.

    Still nothing from my ex since he sent that message about not getting accepted into this intake in his career. Guess he might not have liked how I responded to him ? Bit disappointed. Been stalking him a bit and I saw he was snap chatting someone for a bit but it could be any of his friends but there was some back and forth between them :/. I’m an over thinker in case you didn’t notice πŸ˜›

    Well I broke up with my ex last year or well he broke up with me and he tried to stay away as long as he could but would find ways to come back into my life however he’d disappear again quickly. Just do what you have to do and let her be. I even went on a date last year my ex then attacked me through text for what I was doing and was like goodbye I can’t be anything with you. I ignored these messages for a while he eventually came back less than a week later asking to meet me kind of teary and saying he missed me and wanted to try again. Clearly didn’t work out but I dong think he made any changes to himself.

    Sorry I don’t know what I was saying above he didn’t message me again. He didn’t respond to my last message I have no idea what he’s thinking at all. I don’t think this time is like last time kind of like I mentioned above

    If I was truly done I would try to not actually contact him again cause there’s always one person who didnt want the breakup and that’s the dumpee. However my ex goes through weekly periods where we don’t talk but that’s not much to go off cause who knows where the fuck my ex is or what he wants lol. You never know though she could be reading the same articles and tips as us and is going through stuff exactly like you haha. Don’t worry about it though it’s hard especially the initial weeks but I’m used to it now lol

    I’m not worried that he didn’t respond I just wonder why lol. Cause he messaged me again after I went out with a friend and posted a photo on fb. I’m not quite ready to delete him off fb that will be hard for me as I like seeing his little face on there plus it helps me stalk :/. Lol oh I know he’s an asshole so don’ worry about that πŸ˜› look at him messaging that girl after he started things up with me again, makes me feel completely used and like shit. I’m sort of hoping at this point he’s starting to question his position though and that I’m not reaching out to him at all and that I don’t really care if he cancels the movies and stuff.

    Now in regards to you I don’t think you should reach out to her family and thank them just yet. I still think its very early days in your breakup. I would do it when things are either getting better between you two or things seem final and over. Lol don’t worry about the NC and stuff look at my ex being the one to reach out to me regarding everything. Its not working in my favour really lol but you don’t need to reach out to her to rekindle interest. Post photos on fb of fun activities or something like that. And don’t like her photo. No matter how good things are between my ex and I he doesn’t go near anything on my fb lol. He knows I love fb and getting likes and stuff.

    Yeah I just worried about not responding to this one thing. Everything else he has sent me over the past month is meaningless but keeps me hanging on but this was actually serious but I think I showed him who’s boss a little bit lol. Im still reactive about the things he does because he’s still negatively having an impact on my life. However I think that I have kept it to myself and away from him and also that if he came back right this second I would still question him and us because of him messaging that girl for one and just taking me for granted pretty mich. Not what a relationship should be.

    Now remember I know this is hard but all the advice you give to me you have to take too. I know it’s easier said than done on here lol I do the exact same. Luckily for you you’re earlier in your breakup so it’s still early days and everything’s still raw so you have no idea which way things could go. The longer mine drags on the less hopeful I remain

    Well I was being supportive when it seemed like he sort of wanted me back which was around the interview and I was there for him completely so the above conversatin for him probably would have been like what the fuck. Cause he didn’t even respond to my last message however to sure why. He said even if we’re not friends and shit he’ll still let me know how that shit goes with his career which is odd. I dunno what do you think. It just seems like some times he just can’t stay away. Which is when i worry that when and if i ignore him it will piss him off.

    And even if you guys were together she should be able to do whatever se wants right ? Just cause you liked her hair long doesn’t mean she should keep it like that should she ? Don’t take it as an attack on you (it might help in getting your attention which she wants) but women always do things with their hair. Just don’t give her the reaction she could be looking for.

    I would have ignored him but this was the one thing I felt I couldn’t ignore because this was so important to him ad I was such a big supporter but now I responded but I felt i wasn’t fully present for him. How I reacted above has been completely different to when we have talked about his career change and what happens if he doesn’t get accepted. It wasn’t an attempt to prolong just to show that I’m still there but feeling unemotional. Why do you think he didn’t respond ?

    Yeah I actually have done something crazy with my hair, sort of to get the attention of my ex but also I ended up loving it haha. So it may be to get some attention off you. But don’t react

    Hey final shine how are we doing ?

    Just thought I’d give you an update. My ex was online this morning on fb even though he had been at work for two hours already and was still working (we work in retail so its pretty hard to be on our phones) like he was stalking me as he knows my work schedule. Anyway that morning after I start he sent me a message regarding his career change. About a month ago he had an interview for a brand new career (which was daunting to him given he is 31) but I was always supporting him. Anyway I met up with him right after his interview and he was like I really needed you here today and then that was the day he started things up again kissing me and stuff. However it burned out not much after. Anyway he messages me on fb and this is how it went:
    Him: Didn’t pass the interviews so its another year to wait. Gayyy.
    Me: Sorry to hear that. You’ll do better next time.
    Him: All good I was expecting it.
    Me: Where do you think you failed at (even though I already knew).
    Him: It was the interview process, haven’t had a proper look yet.
    Me: Well you’re right there’s always next year.

    He then didn’t respond to that. I tried to keep it unemotional and a little supportive but I can’t just be there completely for him i’m trying to show him I’m not just there compleltely. I’m kind of worried though it might upset him but I also want to make him think a bit. He didn’t respond so i wonder what he was thinking.

    Yeah they’re public but I can also see that he has no need to go on snapchat because you can see the other persons tally of snapchats they have sent and received and he has not received or sent any so its not like he had a reason to go on there specifically. Yeah I can delete him the only social media apps I have him on are snap chat and Facebook (he deleted me after we broke up and then I accidentally sent a friend request to him from my phone three weeks after which I didn’t realise i did until he accepted lol). Like you though I’m worried that by deleting him and me not contacting him though will cause him to just move on and not message me. Its been almost a week since we had any contact but I don’t mind haha. I keep waiting for him to react and delete me again but he hasn’t just yet. He knows I don’t really want to be friends and why I’ve been sticking around for a while now maybe now he’ll start to take it seriously that I’m not just here to support and care for you nd hurt myself in the process.

    I’m feeling ok actually. I feel as though i might be starting to get over my ex however I know that when he messages me or if i ever see him i’ll be right back to square one again even though its three months on. Its redic its dragging on this long. No word from him today and he normally has contacted me on saturday sometime as its his last day off before heading back to work for the week and he’s done it consistently for the last month. I did however go ice skating with a friend tonight and i uploaded a public snapchat which he was the first to view and then a photo of me on the ice. Today hasn’t been my day at all though lol, no word from ex and then see cute guy at gym but with a girl who’s his girlfriend :(. Lol just my luck hey.

    Do not reach out to your ex ok πŸ™‚

    Lol yeah they will find little excuses to get ahold of you. My ex has actually been doing that the last few weeks. Nothing on my end sadly :/ we haven;t talked since tuesday when i barely responded to his cancelling the movie we were supposed to see. So I feel he’s avoiding me. And that girl from my work who he’s trying to get in contact again with who wants none of it well I saw that he’s tried to send her a friend request i think but she won’t accept and he liked a photo that she liked cause he’s following her. I’m quite disgusted he’s messaging her. I don’t blame her at all, cause after how our friendship ended she could be vindictive towards me but she hasn’t but of all people he could message he chose her.

    That ending to your convo wasn’t so bad just don’t let anything important come up now lol.

    Lol well the difference between you and my ex is that he sit at home drinking alone ir with his roomie and plays his video game all the time. I saw he played it last night and a lot of todsy too lol. I don’t know if I can wrap my ex back around my finger. He’s not putting in any work on himself and we haven’t talked in days now so I’m struggling to see how haha.

    Also I have seen this cute guy at the gym. I could see him looking at me through the mirror as I was doing legs but that’s about it sadly haha

    Yeah I agree with Jburg she’s not happy either way she has you but the best option I think is to back off because she obviously wants to feel needed and appreciated in your life. Its a typical woman thing to do :P.

    Still no contact from my ex however he looked at my snapchat story i posted last night at about 1am before he went to bed obviously. He looks at all my public snapchats I don’t send them to him personally these days. Its kind of like he’s stalking me a bit

    I feel the same as you in regards to no contact and that it will help them move on and we are doing them a favour. But either way Nc will help us cause we either move on ourselves or they realise they miss us like we hope so hopefully it’s a win win either way. Now that being said I don’t think you need to say I need space or stop contacting her like perhaps take it on a case to case basis depending on what she is saying and how important it is. But congrats on being in the clear ?.

    Yeah im definitely not going to meet up with him cause he couldn’t even follow thrlugh on a meet up he organised. I do think I could do better than him and everyone else thinks so too but you can’t help who you love right. You’re right I am needy but I haven’t put any of it onto him we wouldn’t only meet up when he wanted or if he wanted to if I asked but there was definitely no pressure from me. Still no word from him three days on. Odd. I see he’s heen playing PlayStation all afternoon after he finished work. Fun. I’m not scared I was giving this cute guy eyes and he was looking at me as I was squatting but he was with a friend as well.

    Lol I’m still always angry but I’m angry about my work atm I’m getting fucked over and I’m over that too lol. My life is going to shit :P. No I definitely haven’t contacted him at all he’s the one to initiate all contact since he sort of used me and got what he wanted almost a month ago now. I responded after he cancelled saying he felt unwell all I said was “no problems” didn’t wish him to feel better or anything like that.

    I hope your appointment goes well though :). I know you have made it clear, just as I have but I think my ex still thinks I wish to be friends or he thinks he can be friends with me even though I still have feelings. I don’t think you need to clarify it again at least not just yet. Remember your breakup is still fresh so I would just leave it for now. You’re in a period of no contact or mixed contact (depending on what you want to go with, its all an individual basis). Don’t contact her again after today, if she contacts you just say yes it went well or still unsure and hoping for the best and leave it at that. I know you want her support especially during something scary like this but yeah come to us on here or your friends and family outside πŸ™‚
