Did I break no contact?

[Themrandres]

Me and my ex have a very close mutual friend who has a very rough history with mental illness and attempted suicide multiple times. In high school I always kept an eye on her and made it a habit to talk to her between classes and check in. I'm currently in first year university and am unable to keep an eye on her anymore. My friend is currently going through a really tough time once again right now and informed me she was very scared and worried for her life again, and she was hiding it from her friends and peers (my ex).So I texted my ex asking that she could keep an eye on our mutual friend (my ex still goes to school with her) and that our friend is very upset and scared for her safety but is too afraid to tell anybody. I only told my ex because she was the only person I could think of who could be there for her, and i knew she would want to be there for her...I didn't have any hidden motives or anything. After I texted her she agreed to keep an eye on her and we only excanged 3 texts and we didn't say anything elese to each other since. Does this count as breaking NC?

Themrandres, we all know in our minds after reading that, contact has been broken. Contact is contact. We can sugarcoat it and say, "no, you didn't break NC". I have a feeling you are looking for someone to reinforce the idea that you didn't. If that is the case, it's already on your mind, then so be it.

 

I wouldn't focus on that as a major setback though. Leave it as those 3 texts and continue on with NC. I don't see what the big deal is, as long as you aren't pouring your heart out about your feelings or begging for her to come back. Do what feels right for you, and in this case, you were being a good friend. You make your own rules about NC. Although strict NC is usually what is advised here, I say, do what makes you feel right and when you are ready.
