Is it really so bad to reach out and see if there is anything left?

 

i miss him so much and would love to just talk to him

 

tomorrow is his Dad's b-day, maybe a short text just to say Hi?

 

He's been away and I know he's back in town, it would be so great to see him!

It will be a terrible thing and utterly detrimental for YOU. Fight the urge, you are experiencing a weak moment. It's irrelevant whose birthday it is you need to look out for yourself and no one else. Get through this moment you will feel more empowered when you do.

Reach to him if you have the urge. He'll probably had moved on.

the only thing you'll have to lose is all the hard work you've done so far. you'll be again on day 1 if things don't go as you expect.

Really? It will be that bad?

 

what if he's been missing me and doesn't know how to approach me?

 

shouldn't i just try alittle?

It's not probable he doesn't know how to approach you. If he wants you, he'll look for you like crazy. Has he made any attempt so far?

He broke up with you, it's up to him to try. Don't be pathetic.

Maybe you need to test it for yourself. I guess you won't have the answer you're looking for.

Have you keep no contact for at least 60 days? If not, I'd highly recommend you to refrain from contacting him now

This is also some important information to consider. Dumper's prerogative to contact, dumpee's prerogrative to answer.

 

If she was over it, I'd tell her to go for it if she wants. But right now she's running into a samurai sword. Plus it's absolutely illogical to think that he'd be afraid to contact her after not being afraid to break her heart.

i don't want to be pathetic but maybe sincere??

 

who can resist sincere?

 

maybe he has rethunk his decision

Simon, let her bump against the wall if that is what she wants. We already told her he won't receive the answer she's looking for, but sometimes she'll need to test it for herself...

Stop being foolish. If he rethunk his position he'd be contacting you.

Sociopaths.

 

OP, your mind is made up, I can tell. You'll get no discouragement from me. Go forth. Give it a red hot crack.

 

I'm guessing she's very young, because she comes off as awfully naive.

Why let her suffer unnecessarily because she is having a weak moment? We KNOW this is not a smart idea. I say NO NO NO. It is a bad, bad idea!!!

Yeah, i'm not going to tell her to run into traffic on the highway so she can test it out.

If he had rethought it, he would have reached out by now.

 

Don't contact him tomorrow.

 

If he's not over it, if he's having the feelings you wonder if he's having, he'll probably say something to you about why you didn't say anything.

 

I'm willing to bet he doesn't. I didn't contact my ex on her birthday. Nothing.

I know it's a ridiculous idea. But sometimes you have to touch the stove to know it's hot.

 

She's not asking for people to talk her off the ledge. Did you notice that? She hasn't asked for someone to pull her back. She's going to do this anyway. And if she needs to experience in order to learn, I am all for that.

 

She can come back her and we can support her when it goes wrong. She's not endangering her life and this supportive community exists if she has a crash-landing.

 

I'm not against learning by doing. She knows it's a bad idea. I don't need to tell her.

 

Meh. It's unnecessary pain. I rather try and head it off before hand then console her afterwards...

maybe I'll never know what my lucky stars were..

 

but there is alot of wisdom here that i can't deny

 

I'm stupid and an idiot and miss him like crazy and want him back

 

but IF my reaching out will just cause me pain i gotta avoid that :sick:

The only way I really learned the value of NC, was by breaking it. 100 opinions about how wrong it was taught me some, but the heartache of breaking it taught me everything I needed to know.

 

That's life.

 

the one thing I DONT NEED IS MORE HEARTACHE :(

 

somehow i was hoping if i took the matter into my own hands maybe it would mean a better outcome

guess i was wrong?
