Ok me and my ex girlfriend (who dumped me) broke up 2 months ago. I made every mistake possible, begged her back, cried, and she remained very adamant about "i just dont give second chances". So, me being lost, I came to this forum. Found out NC, and initiated it... Every time i do, i see results within 3 days, every time. She always contacts me to beg me not to shut her out her life. In addition, she generally acts like a jealous ex girlfriend. She DOES still say and act like she still wants me, i can just tell off of body language and just the things she does, i have that vibe. Yet, everytime i try to make a move, she backs off and goes running for the hills. Thats when i usually initiate NC, then she doesnt want me to go. Usually i try to reconciliate quickly when we just start talking again. And this drives her away. Its as if she opens the door for me to come back, but its like im rushing it. Its as if she wants HER to chase ME... is this why she tells me no second chances? to get me really thinking that way? I know she wants me, but maybe im trying too hard and she doesnt want me if im just gonna beg her back?

 

Now im not a fool... I KNOW the vibe im getting. Neither of us are dating... And i mean we are both great looking people, i'm sure if she wanted a bf she could get one easily. We shared a damn near PERFECT relationship that was ruined because of my insecurities and i generally wanted things to go my way... so what im asking is, should i wait this one out? I mean my plan is to take this time around SLOW. I'm going to still NC, but just be available to her if possible. Im not ignoring her... But i do know how to MAKE IT SEEM AS IF things are all fine and dandy. If she hits me up, i respond, but i dont initiate contact. If i see her in school, i wave hi but i dont stop to talk. Basically i act indifferently towards her, and no longer will i show signs of missing her or talking about the breakup, which i always immediately do whenever she contacts me... I just started this plan a day ago, and just seeing some of ur guys thoughtss.... Im well aware many of u are going to say drop it and go NC, but i just feel im not in the friend zone... i honestly feel she still wants more than that.

 

Regardless, im going to try this for 2 weeks or so, then ask her to hangout out. If she says no, then i'll act indifferently about it. Also, immediately if she ever dates or has a new bf, I'm immediately going full NC and NOT coming back. That will be the final straw to wake me up and say NO stupid, its time to move on.

I did this for 2 months.. tried and tried for her, didn't get anywhere. Then when I backed off she became suspicious and always wondered what I was up to. Then I'd try for her again, and she'd shut me out again.

 

Takes a toll man. In the end after all of that we didn't get anywhere, we're both going our separate ways. I think you guys need a lot of space unless she does something drastic.

 

I didnt' feel like I was in the friend zone either but they'll give you more vibes than that if there really is something more. Like many people say on here, she probably does miss you but doesn't want to be with you.

 

Dude my ex even said I was the ideal boyfriend a couple of weeks ago, that she missed me and wanted things to work but still nothing came out of it. She didn't even try, she was jsut saying it. My point is to just be weary and don't read into things or assume things.

 

Why would you wait until she has a boyfriend to go full out NC? She has complete control over what happens to you. You will be a complete mess if you wait that long.

 

I'm not trying to be hateful or anything, I just went through all this in the past 2 months too and there is absolutely no point to wait around for her. And any sign you think she's showing you isn't a big enough sign in my opinion.

 

BUt hey, if you want to ask her to hang out, go for it. BUt as others have said here be prepared for that to just be an ego stroke and inadvertently might push her right into another guys arms.

I hope for your sake she gets a new boyfriend soon as you are really stuck and I can only imagine how much you're hurting. Right now I am really hurting too, but I do accept he is gone.

Ok well I've tried NC. And it doesn't work. It's not that easy to just out right ignore somebody when they come crying back... It's gotta be a reason she keeps doing it and I know it's not to be just friends. What's the point of being friends for her? She doesn't gain anything outta me by being just friends with me. That's why I just know I have that vibe... Idk. Somethings talking to me and telling me to try this. I mean she's not even close to dating anyone and she's the only one I want... Why not try it??? It's as if u guys on this forum shut out all hope of getting back together. Damn can I be the lucky one out of a million that actually pulls it off??

 

Think of it like this. Anybody can go NC. But how many ppl sucked it up, and did things HER way for once? I think those are ppl in relationships now... Especially if I was demanding last time around. Maybe she wants to show me I can't be that way anymore, and when she's ready we will discuss it on her time... That's honestly how it feels. And honestly, I'm much less heart broken these past 2 days then I been during NC, not knowing where or what she does...

 

I mean does ANYBODY have reconciliation advice? Or is it all about going NC and moving on

shawn923: NC Works :) It does not work because you think it will never work.

 

NC is about you yourself only, move on and don't use it as a method or a game for reconciliation because if she really feels the same way as you do, she wouldn't leave you in the first place.

 

Whatever she is feeling now, you don't have to put into heart anymore.

I hear what you are saying about wanting to reconcile and not throw everything you had with her away by going NC... NC is really for yourself to heal and should be a finite act for you to move on with your own life. However it sounds like you are not ready to give up on your relationship just yet. I would suggest that you try being her friend really and truly. You said, "What's the point of being friends for her? She doesn't gain anything outta me by being just friends with me." I disagree with your view on this. A true friend is like family - they are there with you for life, lovers come and go. If you can't see the real value of a friendship and see her as a true friend first and foremost then maybe you should really ask yourself why you want to save your relationship with her so badly. What is it about her that you love? Is this just another case of you wanting for things to go your way? Take some time out to really figure yourself out and be a friend to the woman you say you love.

There are pages and pages of posts explaining what NC is. FOR YOU TO HEAL. You are using NC to get her back. In that case, of course it is not working. You're using the wrong tool for the wrong problem.

 

I don't believe you are ready to let this girl go. Actually, you are not ready. She is like a drug. You have to go in for one more hit, and another and another. So, do your two weeks, ask her to hang out and then you decide what you need to do. I swear, it is true that sometimes people need to get hammered to a pulp, at the same time lose all dignity and self-respect before realizing that it's done. I think that is the only way for you. Go get your hit and I hope you really take the right steps after all is said and done.

Ok well im only here for reconciliation advice. Thats it. Ive already made my mind up that i'm gonna get her back. I just need to know if I even stand a chance. I do not need help going NC, its simple just drop her out my life, and i know how to do that. I dont know why she keeps coming back if i keep going NC! And if your gonna tell me just go NC and drop it, then dont even waste your time. I DONT WANT TO DO THAT. Maybe NC just doesnt work for me. Everybody is different... Besides i know the effects of NC, its to get over your ex. Well i dont wanna get over her, my heart is telling me theres still something here.

 

I dont wanna confuse u guys with somebody who's caliin her everyday still begging her back, no. Im simply saying I dont need NC at this point in my life... It doesnt get me anywhere. Why cant i just be friends with her and see where it leads? Thats something i HAVENT tried yet. Lets say im friends with her. She doesnt really seem like the type to do me bogus, if she was dating somebody new im pretty sure she would respect me enough to at least tell me... And if i am friends and she moves onto another, then ill let her know why we cant be friends. I deal with the NC process then, then i'll stick to it because i'll have a reason to...Just please understand where im coming from.... I just wanna try.

You can carry on your wish for reconciliation. All the best to you and let us know the good news when it happen.

 

Unfortunately, I'm not a person who can predict your future whether you stand a chance or not.

 

You have to made the decision yourself.

Thats what im saying. Maybe thats the right path i may need to take, and im thinking thats what she realized. Maybe being friends will get all the bad feelings out of both of us, so we can finally reconcile? I just dont understand why every situation has to be going NC and moving on... I can't move on. And I dont want to. I feel it cant hurt to try... the benefits out someday getting her back are much greater to me than the hurt of her being with somebody else. I wont even have to deal with it cuz she'll be cut out of my life for good...

 

What im saying is people, that I will try being her friend, with getting back together in the back of my mind. If she somehow moves on, then that will be my Q to go NC. I mean it cant hurt to at least TRY to see if i can do it... and if she continues to shut me out, with NO signs of reconciliation after like lets say a month, then ill slowly fall out of her life... less as friends, until shes no longer in it. Im in college and the semester ends May 1. So basically i will be using all of april to learn to be her friend, to really find out more about her to see if even there is ANY chance of getting back together. Again, its something i never tried, so lets just see where it goes...

Think of it like this. Anybody can go NC. But how many ppl sucked it up, and did things HER way for once? I think those are ppl in relationships now...

What exactly is HER way to you shawn? Has she ever told you what exactly it is she wants you to do in order to get her back? Doubt it. Please don't make the generalization that NC doesn't work because theres plenty of testimonials about NC and how it DOES work actually. It's not working for you because 1. You're not using it for the right reason and 2. Because you're not actually NC, you're LC. It's two entirely different things. Someone above me pointed out, you're not satisfied with NC because you're using it for the wrong reason. NC isn't meant to get your ex back. Nothing can make your ex come back except your ex herself. When will you understand that shawn? How many threads are you going to have to start, how many pages are we going to have to reply to before you realize that things aren't working for you because you're going about it the wrong way? You've done NC for a few days and she begins to wonder about you then initiates contact. You immediately act on impulse and ask her about the relationship which pushes her away again. Stop this. You go NC and she begins to wonder...stop falling for her crumbs and LET HER MIND WONDER MORE.

 

You think theres something still there and she still wants to be with you...if that's the case why hasn't she told you so yet? You're harboring false hope..over analyzing everything and it's getting you no where in terms of healing. You have to come off as attractive to her and by responding to her at the blink of an eye shows her you're still a little puppy on her leash. Be independent for once shawn,, show her you're fine without her. Show her you DON'T want to be with her. People tend to want things they cannot have...she knows she can have you anytime she wants so why would she rush getting back into it with you. As far as she knows, you're ALWAYS going to be there for her whenever she wants. Right now you're her safety net, her little bitch on leash, for lack of a better phrase.

Its not necessarily NC and then move on. If she comes back to you after 2 days of NC, what is that really saying? It says she misses having you there. And yes, that feels good; No one would ever question that. However, you broke up because of something fundamentally wrong with the relationship. That isnt to say that you dont have a very real, very special, and very strong bond with one another. While in the abstract that should be enough, the reality is actually quite different. Something just wasn't right, that went beyond your bond and love. Yes, that sucks. Yes, that isn't fair. But its just reality. It doesn't mean you did something wrong. And it most certainly doesnt mean you two wont figure things out. its just that sometimes things between people get weird. You can look up my posts to hear all about that. You can think I am wrong all you want, but if I am so wrong, why aren't you two together, content, and happy? I am not trying to break you down or be a pessimist; there is a point to what I am saying. And it is this: while she may come back after two days of NC, that isn't enough time (not even close) to legitimately FIX whatever she perceived to be the problem that served as the impetus of this entire situation that you have found yourself in. Two days...that is 48 hours. When have you yourself ever undergone TRUE change in that amount of time? When have you ever really thought through something to the nth degree in 48 hours? At the risk of being overly presumptuous, I would imagine that you haven't. So why would she? Thus, 30 days of NC allows her to fully come to terms with everything. It allows you to do the same. I haven't talked to my ex in 30 days, and it has been a total eye opener for me. Its been incredibly difficult. I see her everyday, and we don't speak, when we lived together just two months ago, and had accepted offers to work for law firms in the same city, away from our families and friends. But these 30 days have made me come to terms with everything that was wrong, with everything that was broken. It has done the same for her. While we aren't getting back together anytime soon, if at all, the end result could have been quite different in those 30 days. The point is this: by giving yourselves the ability to surface for air, you come to see things much more clearly. You take off the proverbial rose colored glasses and get a much more realistic picture of what you are doing with this person. What that period will yield for either of you is anyone's guess. But it is the only way to be certain of things. Just sit her down, and calmly explain to her that you think this is the best thing for the two of you. Explain to her that you think this is the way in which you both can gain a more objective view of your relationship, which you believe is necessary to a future that is happy, be it together or separate. Tell her that you want her to be happy. DO NOT tell her you won't date other people, or ask her to do the same. That defeats the purpose. yes, its nauseating to think of a loved one with someone other than you. But trust me when I say, you don't want to put pressure on this girl to behave a certain way, and you don't want to put pressure on her to tell you things you may simply be better off not knowing. Take 30 days, focus on you, think about things, gain a clear mind and perspective, and see where you both stand. If she doesn't understand that, then she doesn't have either of your best interests in mind. Be patient....don't put a time frame on loving someone. That is what I would do.

I had a second chance, while staying around her... what happened after is beyond the scope of this post so... of course you have a chance, I have read some of your threads and didn't want to say anything in case you or someone else ended confused...



 

Like yours ex, mine didn't let me go NC (we are coworkers so go figure) and literally begged me to stay in her life, as a friend, a colleague, a mentor, whatever but not as a lover... so, since there was really no other option I stayed around and after some time we got back together...

 

But listen (or read) carefully:

 

She came back only when I let her go and I really and truly didn't want anything with her. I am sure I had implemented a plan or a game, she would have seen it a mile away and never would have got back... it was only when (while supposedly being friends) I decided enough was enough that she returned to me, without asking for it and without expecting it and, check this, wanting it...

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you are right, sometimes NC doesn't work, even when you are doing it for your healing only... so, maybe, one should try to go away emotionally from "inside"...

 

It can be done, but if anything it requires more "attributes" than going NC...

 

Now, staying around in hopes of a comeback it is equivalent to an emotional suicide and if and when the ex comes back it is out of emotions that have little to do with love, but this is a big IMO... good luck!

Posted

Yeah, I agree with Layzie89 about how you are there when she wants you. I am actually in the same exact situation you are in. I know I need to move on with my own life but seem to not want to at all. We still hang out as "friends" at least once or twice a week. I have done this for 2 months hoping he would realize that he misses me, but this has done absolutely nothing for me. The only thing different about your situation is that I don't beg him back, I actually act happy and fine with everything. I read earlier that people just need to get beaten down before they finally realize.

 

I don't understand why the ex's will act like MAYBE they would want to think about getting back together and then in the end....nothing. Why do they think that is OK to do to someone? I hope that we can both move on or actually have the ex feel the same way, which is unlikely if they ended things.

Posted

Dude, she does gain things by you being friends. She gets a shoulder to cry on, male attention, and general fun without any of the previous commitment (ie all of that and no worries about having sex with you) of a relationship. She gets to have her cake and eat it too. All the while you spin into madness as to why she won't commit back to you.

 

If your last thread about religion wasn't just a bunch of hogwash, she's a Muslim and she already told you that Allah just doesn't will you two be together. The religion thing is huge. If that's in her head as it is, you have an almost insurmountable obstacle to overcome just in that alone. Have you already forgotten about that post?

 

You go NC for 2 seconds, then claim it doesn't work. All 80-billion posts in your so called "NC" thread was all about you breaking contact. Where has that gotten you?

I've gone NC and it doesnt work. Im going to follow what he did... At least it's possible. Sometimes it's just not possible to go NC. Unless your just telling me to say F u to my ex whenever she begged me back, and im not gonna do that cuz that would push her away for good. I want her back. Just get that part down first. All I need advice for is reconciliation. Thats it. How do i get her back? That should be the name of my next thread. I DONT need advice on how to move on... I need advice on how to get this one back. STOP getting the two confused. I dont need advice on moving on. It seems theres NEVER advice on here about getting back together... Does that just never happen? Every thread on here is about a failed relationship and how to get over it. Im simply in a DIFFERENT situation. I need DIFFERENT advice.

Posted

My only advice is you is do whatever you decide and prepare for any results be it positive or negative.

Posted (edited)

You're missing the point shawn. We're not telling you to tell her to **** off when she's asking for you back. At this point she hasn't even ASKED for you back...if and when she actually DOES ask for you back, THEN we'll talk about that. But until then, please don't twist around what we're saying to try and validate your own argument. We're telling you to stop falling for her crumbs and stop pressuring her so much about the relationship. Now, with you being as stubborn and hard headed as you are..you'll see this only as "this is garbage advice...I'm not trying to heal, im trying to get her back" but really shawn...what you've been doing obviously hasn't been working. She'd be your girlfriend again if it was working but unfortunately that's not the case. The advice were giving about pulling away, not responding to her crumbs is your best bet at ever getting her back. You said it yourself, she initiates contact, you bite and then she pulls away. And you want to continue this?

 

Theres no sure fire way to get any ex back. No step by step procedure or post-breakup plan one can follow. So for gods sake stop asking for one. If there was some guaranteed way to get your ex back, don't you think we'd all know about it by now? ****, if only it was that easy huh?

 

Doubt anything I just said will sink in. I know you're going to reply again asking for advice on how to get her back anyways.

Damn...... This sounds like me. Word for effing Word. I too am going to do NC for a good two weeks and see where it goes. We're an attractive couple too, she really loves me, and still leads on. This is really hard to deal with, because she doesn't show a disinterest at all...which would make it easier to deal with if she did. I wondered if I should wait it out too, we are really close, but me pressuring her about spending time and being routine kinda backed her off.

 

This is super confusing...... I understand.

Posted (edited)

I just read through some of the posts....Look, bro.... If you don't listen to anyone else on here, plz consider my advice.

 

We are in the SAME situation, man. I could have just slapped my screen name on your post and it be relevant. Me and my Ex have been broken up for two weeks now. The day after she broke it off. I got my closure talk. She played haaaaard ball too, like this is what she wanted etc. AND she was on her way to the club. Whew.. Our bond was deeeeeep, so I couldn't believe she was acting like this. I started NC a day or two later and Voila! I heard from a mutual friend that she was in tears and sorry, she was sending me texts, yet I wouldn't reply. The older mutual friend suggested we sit down and talk out our problems because 3yrs is a lot to throw away. Of coarse he's married and this would be the idea THING to do. We talked our problems out over dinner, but there was NO reconciliation. All I got was an understanding of what led her to that point. I did tell her that I liked our break. She did hint off the want for sex, btw. I didn't pursue it.

 

Couple days later we're still talking and I hang with my boy that stays out of town. She calls and says "Oh so now that we broke up you're hanging with him and you usually dont?" You see that! She got jealous.:cool: I effed up and was downplaying it when I should have been playing it up. I look back and think, that is what she wanted. To see me doin my thing like a man. BUT, I finally decide to push for the RS. NOTHING! She pushes even stronger for the friendship. She said we should both "do our thing (date other people)" She hangs up after heated words are exchanged. I send her a text saying that it will be my last text and I won't stand for the BS. What do you think she did??? BLOW MY EFFIN PHONE UP!!

 

These are all good signs, man. I back peddle on them and I end up right back in a circle. Re-read this, bro.......

 

You think theres something still there and she still wants to be with you...if that's the case why hasn't she told you so yet? You're harboring false hope..over analyzing everything and it's getting you no where in terms of healing. You have to come off as attractive to her and by responding to her at the blink of an eye shows her you're still a little puppy on her leash. Be independent for once shawn,, show her you're fine without her. Show her you DON'T want to be with her. People tend to want things they cannot have...she knows she can have you anytime she wants so why would she rush getting back into it with you. As far as she knows, you're ALWAYS going to be there for her whenever she wants. Right now you're her safety net, her little bitch on leash, for lack of a better phrase.

 

That's hard to swallow, but it's real *****. Anyways later on that week, I went out with my homie and her and her friend. Watching guys talk to her while I we were single bothered the ***** outta me. She showed me and told me that she wasnt interested in none of them and I believe her, but at the point....... I realized that I'm the only one hurting while she is living it up on her own terms. I went LC for the next few days and started planning my week with other people. I would feel good for the day and whenever I responded to a text or a call, I would feel like ***** all over again.

 

Im NC for a day now. She gave be breadcrumbs last night. "what you doing"

"are you at work?" I didn't respond and God Damn it, I felt good for the rest of the night. My co-worker made me wake up when he said. "Dude, your just a phone call away for her"....... This sounds really sweet and caring to be there for her, but in reality.. I'm Her little bitch that's waiting there. It's gotta stop and she has to realize what she's losing, man. After the text last night my Co-Worker said "see, she thinks you're going to be right there". A big eye opener. Good news is, I was all over her mind. Hence the messages.

 

CONCLUSION:

 

Bro I feel your frustration in wanting her back. I was in your same mindset last week. Fighting against NC. I finally found that NC is truely needed for ME at this point. She is living her life and all I'm doing is boosting her confidence by being her friend. Grab your balls, man. This is what I tell myself. "I'm not her friend and I'm not going to be her friend, cuz I'm her FU{KING LOVER. She needs to stop this foolishness and get back to me before someone else gets this D!CK" LOL. Seriously, man.

 

What I do know is that, after reading countless stories over the past couple of weeks here and books on women..... No one is successful at reconciliation by being the "friend", BUT there is plenty of successful stories following NC. So far NC has givin me results I like, but I had back peddled and messed it up. I believe in our love enough for her to come back, man. Like the guy who did the friend thing above said, he STILL had to let go for her to come back. I believe yours will too. We have to take our VALUABLE and GOLDEN attention away!!! So they can cry like babies and want it back. I know you're like "yeah yeah all this move on BS" blah blah blah. I feel ya. Not only does NC helps them realize what they're losing, but you get your sanity back, bro. lol.

 

I love my girl bro, but I'm tired and ready for some more tang. lol. I get hit on like crazy. If she wanna keep actin like this, FINE!! Take that approach man. I believe our girls will come back, but it all starts with letting them go.

 

Hope that helps, man. Good Luck. Don't be her bitch and read this http://www.loveshack.org/forums/showthread.php?t=90572

 

P.S. Through all of this, My GF has told me first hand, that she still wanted our spark back and that she thinks she needs to miss me. Put that in your pipe, pimp. She is doing us a favor and I have to understand and follow through.

kingofhearts: Thanks for posting the thread :)

 

shawn923: You don't have to do much to get her back, if she's yours, your right one, when the time comes, she will appear. To me, the best is to heal yourself now, if not everything you will just keep focusing on her only, which is very unhealthy for yourself in long run. The card is in your hand, how do you want to use this card, it is entirely up to you.

Thanks Fufu. You're welcome, cutie.

 

Bro..... She just called me 15min ago cuz Ignored her text last night. I ignored the call too. LOL. She feels like she is losing her grip on me and it's killing her. LMAO. See what just happened? Guess who's going to be thinking about ME all day. The tables are turning. lol. I am just as much as a drug to her as she is to me. Go NC, pimp. Watch how she reacts. Bet money she calls again later.

 

If and whoever she is filling her void of me with, she's going to be STUCK with.:p

 

I'm going to drink my effin beer and go to sleep.

 

Winning! #charliesheenvoice LOL

A restraining order or order of protection is a form of legal injunction that requires a party to do, or to refrain from doing, certain acts. A party that refuses to comply with an order faces criminal or civil penalties and may have to pay damages or accept sanctions. Breaches of restraining orders, can be considered serious criminal offenses that merit arrest and possible prison sentences. The term is most commonly used in reference to domestic violence, harassment, stalking or sexual assault. In the United States, each state has some form of domestic violence restraining order law, and many states also have specific restraining order laws for stalking and sexual assault.

 

 

Restraining and personal protection order laws vary from one jurisdiction to another but all establish who can file for an order, what protection or relief a person can get from such an order, and how the order will be enforced.

When the abuser does something that the court has ordered him or her not to do, or refuses to do something the court has ordered him or her to do, that is a violation of the order. The victim can ask the police or the court, or both, depending on the violation, to enforce the order.

 

Keep it up dude, and you'll be needing more than just reconciliation advice.
