the_otherhalf Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I broke NC about a week ago to my ex who had e-mailed me three times since I started NC two months ago. In his last e-mail, he said that he thinks of me and hopes that I respond. But now that I e-mailed him, he hasn't said a word back to me when he was always quick to respond before I started NC! A dose of my own medicine, I guess.
oddie Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 otherhalf, I think the only reason your ex might have emailed you during that time of NC is because he thought he was losing his "power" as the dumper in the relationship. In other words he might have thought the you were moving on and he got worried, but once you emailed back you also gave him the power back, as he knows you still care and that fuels his decision not to be with you. NC is for you to get you mind straight, and get healthy again. Not to get him to email or come back. Who knows once you get to a good place again (where you make yourself happy, and don't depend on him or anyone else) you might find you are better off without him. Also, most of the time when you do have contact with the ex you usually find out something you don't want to hear and that brings you right back to square one to start over again. It's def not an easy road, but just keep posting and feed off of the strenght of those who respond....Good Luck!
