How do you get an ex back that you told not to contact you? Will they contact you if they change their mind about you?

You don't. When you get dumped, you disappear and leave them alone because its up to them to change their mind without your influence.

Stick with NC.

What if he wants to get back together but can't because I told him not to text or email me. I said I needed time to heal. I'm worried he will not talk to me out of respect for my request.

Would he try to contact me anyway if he really wanted me back?

If the dumper wants you bad enough, they will find a way. What if he doesn't want you back? Why open that can of worms?

Why did he dump you in the first place?

You don't, you accept their decision, keep yourself busy, and move on.

Ok. Thanks.

He dumped me because he didn't want to waste my time dating me when he didn't know if he could see himself being happy with me in the future.

He said our communication styles were too different. He has Aspurgers, and isn't good with strong emotions. I am very emotional. He said he loved me and still wants to be friends. I said no.

He acted so devoted to me for 8 months and then "his eyes suddenly opened" and he saw the real me. Apparently I don't take good enough care of myself? Idk.
