Thank you Bee for the advice, and for taking the time to read and comment. I’m so sorry that you’re in a similar situation. For me, it’s day 6 (since I wrote to him after keeping NC for 53 days), and no response. I don’t know what to do. I’m so sad.
I will be back in his town in a month. I will keep your advice and write to all my friends and try to meet up with everyone, but I’ll not write to him again. Not unless he responds to me.
(yes, I’m lucky that all our friends are my friends too; not one of them has “dropped” me as a friend, but we’re all in our 30s, so I think that just comes from maturity… not sure how old you are but I’d be shocked if people in their mid-late 30s “drop” or “side” with one person after a couple breaks up; at any rate, that’s not the case with me. he has some really good guy friends who are closer to him than to me, and I’m sure they feel a bit awkward around me , but not enough to forgo our friendship. For which I’m grateful)
I just can’t believe he hasn’t written back. Kevin, if you’re reading this, please advise. What should I do?

Well I’m going to start NC again. What else can I do. But I feel so broken. I’m going to be back in his city in a month and I want so much to see him. But what can I do if he won’t even respond to my simple, friendly, fun email.
Dealing with his silence now is even harder than the almost two months of keeping NC. I was so hoping it would “work” and I just don’t think, in my case, that it is. It has only been five days now but I know him – and I know email – if he doesnt respond in five days that means he is not going to respond. I said, in my email, that I’ll be back in town in a month for an interview, and he doesnt even care enough to write back to ask me what interview, to ask me how I am, to say how glad he is for me. Nothing. It hurts so much. he hasnt heard from me in two months and I’ve been away starting a new life in these two months. I’ve been good and strong and not contacted him once. I feel broken now.
