I would say dont wait for him. This is why its important to ground yourself in the reality of how lonely, insecure, or starving for love you may have felt while in the relationship. I guess I have been missing them or feeling stuff about or for them in regards to the holidays. I desperately needed every word of this blog but especially this comment from you, Vicki. I remembered a month later after the break up, I got really frustrated by him in the group chat and started an argument, we were like this most of the times in our relationship too, but he was always very petty and made up excuses. We share subjects that impact your daily life and we primarily discuss and write about all things related to relationships, breakups, mental health, astrology and much more. I think the beautiful thing is that some people have the ability to look at themselves and their circumstances and make the inconvenient and sometimes sad/disappointing and HARD decision to change. You will be waiting for someone who could not provide you with consistent love when you were in the relationship with them, to consistently miss you so much out of the relationship that they will undergo a personality transformation, see themselves as a party who has wronged someone else, and consistently follow through with anything for the first time in their life. I know that it can feel very painful and lonely to continue no contact. Or does the Ghost of Future Christmas show you an image of you, as you currently are: searching for yourself in the emotionally disordered life of someone else?, Me too, praying for His guidance and staying bravely with my white horse. The firsttime you like one of his posts, he will start losing interest. Hi Isla, I saw your comment and I had to reply cos I felt your pain. Its been a year and a half and my ex reached out to me. He immediately hopped into another relationship (while still texting me, asking to meet up). Your blog has helped me through this insane time and to stay on my white horse. Apparently, there is a Bumble dating site where women make a first move and select the guy. Finding our own inner happiness and peace is not an outside job! My boyfriend left me a month ago and slowly stopped contact and then completely ignored me. Instead of stepping back and focusing on what you can do about it, you press harder, asking him if he still finds you attractive. Thank you so much! I have been there (both in your position and Ive been terrible and done similar, although not this bad, to others). You may even be thinking in your head, If I dont reply right away, she may stop texting/calling me, or If I dont go with what she wants to talk about, she may get annoyed and stop contacting me. However, that way of thinking makes you appear too available to her, and as a result, she is unlikely to miss you. As you say, Im going to stay on my horse as I continue to work on myself. The reason is that he wants to attract your attention and he wants you to notice him. This means that he has spent a lot of time thinking about your relationship and the mistakes that he made. Its not only important what he does on your profiles, but also on his. If he has been asking around your mutual friends about you and how you are doing, then he still misses you and cant stop thinking about you. Its nice to be able to be alone with yourself sometimes. And I finally stepped stood up for my needs and initiated our breakup, which we both agreed to. And they miss out on truly missing you, not because you are not missable, but because it is simply impossible feel true intimacy with another when you are completely closed off on yourself. Are you taking care, taking advantage of your own precious life, becoming connected to yourself, surrounded by people who make you feel safe to be yourself, and living in the image of who you hoped to be? He would always reach out first. He is still nervous as he doesnt know what his next step should be. Thats what made this so hard. Thats why he will use his profiles to get some answers from you whether he should call you or not. Every wound necessitates healing time, and talking to her friends will not provide her with the space she requires to heal. I ended things 1 year ago with someone who immediately jumped into another (theyre basically married, its the real deal). Its been hard. Thank you Irena. If hes the right one for you then time will put you back together. Should you feel shame for even asking these questions? I was with my ex for 4 years, during that time he deactivated his social media accounts and told me he didnt believe in using it. I am convinced he thought I was stalking him bc I had to drive around twice to make sure it was him and he saw my car. Excessive self-promotion can come across as arrogant. You see that he has looked back on his life with regret that maybe someone or something he left behind was the life raft he missed. If you havent, check out my book (its available in digital, audio, and paperback). Your Comment is spot on, my goodness! Well over time I started having feelings and I as very clear about them, and he was pretty hot and cold about whether or not he reciprocated. He was not excited about me anymore, no mater what I did and how hard I tried. All that healing crumbled. Xox. Your blog has helped me so much even though there is still a void in my heart and so much confusion. GUIDE. My mom is deadly sick, the love of my life is gone and blindly he doesnt care for me. Thats the last text I got from him. He will miss having his every whim catered to by someone whose job was to be a. Somehow I came across this article and in a way it made things a bit clearer for me. Also, if you reveal too much about yourself all at once, you will find yourself talking a lot about yourself. Totally agree with you, its best to focus on true heart instead. As I was reading, my mind was processing more and you kept writing- thank god! From another Vicky! This was such a perfectly timed post Irena, thank you. The male mind during no contact The no-contact rule male psychology forces him to recognize his loneliness. Thank you Irena. I want to reach out to ask him to change his address but Im worried he will take it as an ego boost or an ex girlfriends desperate attempt to make contact again. Im left confused, wondering what we meant to him, whether his self reflection was genuine, whether hell truly miss me or just move on! ? So, instead of wanting to get back to you, he will abandon any intention of a second chance that he may have had in his mind. Thank you for your connection, love, support, and for being a part of this tribe. She finds excuses to contact you. Do you even want a second chance? Thank you for this. I wish that I had the time to write more here in the comments but you are not alone. This is one of the biggest signs he misses you during no contact. I didnt realize at the time or else I would have run, but after three months in, I was already emotionally and romantically involved. Do you have no idea what to do - and no way to stop wondering about how your ex feels? When he sees that you are not giving him any signs (aka liking his posts), he will start to think about you even more. When we are truly honest with ourselves, thats when the real healing begins. Hes an avoidant attacher and has no long term relationships, I knew I was playing with fire but I guess hoping I would be the one he would fall in love with and change for. As when we were first together, his profile was still everything Im looking for, and I managed to spiral slightly: missing that version of him, wondering if hed become a better person, if maybe I just wasnt good enough to get the great, sweet, fun guy he so brilliantly presented. He wants to prove to you that you should give him another chance and what better way than staying in touch with your family. It gave me chills to read your comment because of the way that you described KNOWING the intent of that cryptic message. You are so not alone. Had so much fun and could connect on all levels. Being toyed with, jerked back and forth, left wanting all the time. I saw that my picture was gone from his phone screen saver. That made me feel good for a minute that he was thinking ab me. But maybe not for the reasons you believe. He wouldnt open my texts till early morning once in a safe zone at work. So I tried not to get involved. And it explains that when we have wonderful experiences, the kind that causes a rush of dopamine in us, we associate that wonderful feeling with the person we were with at the time. the dumper) usually feels strength (and often relief) at the very first, but with the days and weeks of no contact your ex likely begins to develop feelings of doubt in . (another Natasha quote). Its likely that emotionally unavailable/narcissistic/toxic people do miss people who used to be in their lives, but in a much more self-centered, temporary, and inconsistent way. But reading this, it made everything so much clearer. And yes I do need to hold on to and appreciate the people in my life who have proven to be reliable, trustworthy, and genuine people. I feel like he started this because we have a game group on minecraft and him, me, her, a few other friends are in it. While spending a lot of time together is beneficial, you also dont want to rush things. Things were never the same, there was no consistency in how often we would see one another. The diet that he hoped would work, that seemed to make sense for him, but that he found he couldnt consistently follow. Its a bit counter intuitive, but I think the moment we realize this is the moment that transformation CAN happen. I was heartbroken, I walked out of there and blocked him on every platform, I went completely no contact. I am so sorry that you are on the receiving end of such bullsh*t, deception, and toxicity. He enjoyed his food at the restaurant more than my company. Never truly taking a look at themselves in the mirror because they cant stand their own reflection (as Natasha has said in previous posts). He will be preoccupied with the thought of winning you over. Going from a narcissist to someone who is capable of having a relationship is a very big stretch in hoping it would happen. Let me tell you a secret. Finally, February 15th 2020 he came back. It can be so confusing when someone who is wonderful is suddenly exactly the opposite of that. I got some post for him 2 days before Christmas ( timing!) It also means that it is the easiest way for you to see if hes thinking about you during the no contact period. I dont know how after all the time, and having moved on already, this could still hurt me. I can literally feel your words, I know that feeling and I know it never feels like it will go away. The male mind during no contact is like a fuse short-circuiting. The chances are that he cant stop thinking about you but has no idea how to change that. They miss out on being at peace with themselves, during most moments. Once the relationship ends, those friends become your mutual ones and they represent a great opportunity for getting info about your ex. Im still working on focusing on myself without contacting him and its been a few months. You're missing her right now, and you wonder if she misses you too. From reading your words I feel like I was reading a message from a wiser, future version of myself, speaking to present me. so I texted him simply asking if he had been there. Updated on July 15th, 2022 If a few days or weeks have passed since your breakup with your ex-girlfriend then you are most likely starting to question if she is missing you. So now Im no longer messaging him, I felt I was just feeding his ego. What if there aren't any? He will miss the person he was while he was with you when he feels completely worthless. This is why its important to ground yourself in the reality of how lonely, insecure, or starving for love you may have felt while in the relationship.. And I also tend to be confused about myself, because I perfectly know that I possess more emotional intelligence, and that all that happened is clearly a sign of how toxic this really was. I have to keep going and your words have helped. But this isnt because they dont long for you, in their way. Even if it may not be discernible to begin with. One of the reasons we find celebrities so amusing is that we can play the part of this mysterious, elusive personality that no one can grasp. Dumped yesterday by a man whos been wonderful for 2 months then flew into a fit of narcissistic rage I didnt ever expect to see from him, I have been stuck around the longing for connection. You may discover that you are romantically interested in someone or that you are already in a relationship. Im not saying that this is a healthy reaction, but you can expect it if he still misses you. As with many things, to understand the answer to the questions does he think about me? or does he miss me during no contact? requires that we unpack those questions first. Going no contact with a toxic, emotionally unavailable, and narcissistic ex will change you. So happy to see this comment. Unfortunately for men, it usually doesn't work to get their ex woman back. In the morning I sent one last message that I meant what I said, that I cant be one of multiple women and that I was very sad that he couldnt choose me and see where things went and that im sad he was willing to give that up. But I carried on my white horse admitted probably upside down and in a daze of tears and snot but I stayed silent with posts like this we are not alone. Truly only Bc of you and your writings. Privacy Policy | About us |Contact us 2023 Think Aloud. I broke up and went no-contact with a narcissist earlier in the year, after hed triangulated, used, undermined and made me so deeply unhappy and feel so crazy I wasnt sure who I was anymore. I also was not over him so I thought might as well take this excuse to text him almost as a form of closure him responding could give me the satisfaction/chance to not respond to him (petty, I know) and him not responding would confirm where we stand for good. So then why am I not sure about it.. 2. Maybe in a nostalgic mili-flicker. He finally agreed to it. That's why we send *secret* signs. The first few months after the breakup was the hardest. Was that one event the nail in the coffin and enough to make him lose any remaining respect for me? More of the same of what you got while in the relationship. Its like Im terminally heartbroken, that Ill never find love (or whatever that was) like that again. He will think about the reason you two broke up and if he realizes that it was his fault, he might try to make things right. But it will take effort. I started analyzing why he texted me and also about his rebound. For now, these waves certainly have the look, feel, and taste of your ex. I bought it and we started talking/hooking up again. We went on our last out of town trip I felt that I was seeing him the last last time. He claimed he wanted to do some healing. I know I sound so stupid, but it has been a year since the relationship cracked and I cannot get over him. No response. No longer should I be bothered by incomplete manipulators looking for a quick fix, nor should I seek validation from someone who always seems to forget how awesome, spectacular, and generous I am. The no contact period can last anywhere from fifteen to sixty days, depending on how long you decide. Wasnt able to sleep or eat. I was just a link in his chain, just a wagon in his train, just a chapter in his book, another girl he chose to lose. The sweetest revenge for me was when I texted him back, Who is this? I knew exactly who he was but he didnt need to know that! He let me know he met someone at a park and it made him realize he wanted to explore other relationships in addition to ours. Your ex wants to know what's going on with your life This is one of the obvious signs that your ex has started to miss you. But we were doing everything a couple would do, just without the title. Are you taking care, taking advantage of your own precious life, becoming connected to yourself, surrounded by people who make you feel safe to be yourself, and living in the image of who you hoped to be? He may be looking for an ego hit, missing the guy he was when he was with you, or has cycled back to valuing you for the status and esteem upgrade he believes you can supply. 2 For a long-term relationship: at least 60 days. Guy gets notification about it and has only 24 hours to respond. Only people who miss a special place in our hearts are missed. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. He replaced with the dreaded Im still sorting out my issues which involves his ex (they broke up 3 years ago) and hes not ready for a heavy relationship. He just needs to make sure that there is a possibility of getting back together. We used to go on small weekend getaways. It still hurts but Ive learned a lot. He asks for an apology with sincerity. 1) He is still interested in your life. I called him, begged to meet with me to talk. Havent eaten at all. She misses you terribly and cannot bear to stay away from you. But we can all get through this together xx, Thank you so much, Kat. Im treading carefully, seeing the signs but willing to give him the benefit of the doubt based on his horrible childhood. We had plans for Saturday that he didnt cancel until I messaged to check in. It takes a lot of work and courage to make even small changes to our patterns. He treated me so well until the last month and then he was incredibly inconsistent, so Im just grappling with who he is and what will happen . Both of them were and both had big egos that I never saw. I got tired of it, so I never really replied to him after this weird treatment. He claims I should never think that im not enough for him or anyone else. I had no choice but put my tail down and walk away like a dog that got beat up and kicked out. And you have come so far in understanding that that the half-a**ed and inconsistent behavior of others is something they own and NOT what you deserve. No red flags that I noticed, I thought to myself, finally my hard work paid off. He constantly tries to contact you. The point is that he still misses you because he hates the idea of receiving the silent treatment from you. Please take care. Sometimes we just need to grieve the people our ex partners purported to be before revealing who they actually are. I cant give you want you want. After a year of promising and saying and doing the complete opposite. It will never make you feel special, loved, or chosen. Whether or not that person is a romantic partner, if you share special, happy moments with them, you will undoubtedly miss them when you are separated. To all of you still struggling right now with the ex of Christmas past, please read this sentence a few times and let it sink in. When we came back, very next day he went out with his friends. So, the cherry on top was seeing him with the new girl in his convertable top down car. You are not alone in this (or ever). December 13th 2019, Friday, full moon. But one night and morning, he made these dirty jokes when it was just the two of us in the game and it really came out of nowhere, he never ever acted like that to me after we broke up, I was having a little panic attack I felt so disgusted, humiliated, hurt and I didnt know what to do so I played it off like I didnt know what he meant at all and he just ended it with either Whatever or Nvm. I just think about him being happy with a random stranger and end uo crying because the last two months meant nothing to him. Please continue to remind yourself of this when you get down and allow yourself to feel sadness that he revealed himself as someone whose behavior you can no longer tolerate in your life. Does the very fact that you are asking these questions mean that you miss your ex so terribly that you are actually destined to be together? But I said I had to walk away.
