I just had this idea after reading Mik's post.

How about if we use this thread to count the NC days, all of us? Each one would mention how long he/she's been maintaining the NC period and how he/she feels with time.
Maybe in some way this can help us all (including me)?

This is my first NC day.. Afternoon here, so far didn't even touch my phone. I don't know how I feel, but I'm not that miserable, I have a goal and thinking about it, NOT HER!

What about the rest of you?

So, now by ex texts me, and says " i still love u. absolutely". That's its. Nothing about getting back togeter or anything. So what the heck am I supposed to do with that????? Aagghh, he's so frustrating. I can't believe i have to start all over again with NC.

Im goin thru the same with my ex g/f of 3.5 years, she rings, emails... she doesnt wanna be with me, she just wants to see if im still on the back burner. i answered one of her calls by mistake as she phoned from a number i dint have an whilst i wo asleep.. she then rang from her number which i ignored, bcos i ignored her she emailled me then accusing me of showing people photo's of her which i bit to, an i shouldnt have cos she knows full well i wouldnt do that but she just wanted me to respond!! ex's are weird!

Yes, its like pull-push, push-pull. Its like the exes want to make things as confusing as possible. Then, my ex texts me again and says, "your still my girlfriend, always will be." What does that mean? We broke up 2 months ago!! The only way to the end confusion I guess is back to NC. I can't believe a word he says anymore. I don't know that he's realized his mistake or is just trying to keep me in the back burner for a booty call. I'm not falling for it.

Dave1986

I know, its weird how there's so many people experiences the exact same issues!! so it must be right when everyone says... definitely trying to keep us on the back burner!! i'm not falling for it either, too many people out there that would treat you a whole lot better

New development. He texted me today and wants to come to see me. Fortunately, I actually have plans today so I told him I couldn't. ha, take that! NC really does work.

Suelle, the ball is in your playground now... congrats

I'm on the 5th day of NC.. no word from her.

Dave1986

ha! good work... yeah NC made my ex g/f come sniffing round but i think lads will take back their ex g/f's more than if a women dumped their ex b/f... if you know what i mean! so i think you stand in good stead compared to my situation

I've made no contact for 6 weeks and he hasn't even so much as tryed to make contact with me. I guess it works for some but not others. Besides he's been seeing someone else so I'm sure she keeps him busy so i'm not on his mind in the least.

Dave1986

ive made NC for 7 weeks yesterday, she's iniated contact 3 times... but it's pointless, unless she sent a text/email saying ive made a mistake i want to give it another go then im just moving on, an even if she sent that... with the way i feel now i prob wont take her back... my ex dated a guy straight away after us breaking, like 2 days after, so it was hard for me cos i did 2 months worth of chasing before i started the NC... she then dumped him after 2.5 months, so there was nothing ever in it but i think it was to get a point over to me that she doesnt wanna see me anymore an thats the only way she could get over me as i wo her first love etc after a 3.5 year relationship!

it wont last with that girl he's seein, it never does. so stay strong an then at least when it fizzles out you'll be in the driving seat!
