Big Sky Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 My ex girlfriend broke up with me a month and a half ago because I was working a lot and she was trying to enjoy her last semester in college with a lot of stuff going on academically and extracurricularly. At the end of the day, timing and competing priorities drove us apart and we forgot to put in the requisite effort into making the relationship work, leading it to become stale. She broke it off after nearly 3 years of dating, saying that it felt as if we were just going through the motions. Now how would NC work in this scenario? I have not been in touch with her in a while, although she did ask me out to a concert with a band that we had seen for our first date recently... when I asked what her intentions were for inviting me she said "friendly". When I heard that, I refused the invitation, saying I couldn't go as just friends when I didn't know where she stood. How does NC work in bringing back a relationship that had gone temporarily stale? Yes, I am working on bettering myself and exercising and all that.
drpepper1886 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 NC doesn't work to bring them back. That's not the point. It's to move on. [un]fortunately sometimes a side effect of that is making them miss you and them coming back (not likely). But usually by that point, you've moved on and wouldn't want them back. If you don't want to be friends, then don't. There is no point, there are plenty of other people out there to be friends with. Continue NC and heal and move on. Stay strong and continue what you're doing.
