Tiggercat88 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 My ex and I broke up in July. He broke it off because he needed to work on himself and be independent (he's always been in a relationship). Anywho we seem to have a 3 week cycle of NC, usually initiated by him but I wish him luck before his band shows to which he replies things like 'nice to hear from you, hope you're well, we should meet up'. Of course I overthink all this, knowing full well he isn't ready for a relationship again, so how do you cope with this? We have a few close mutual friends so we're keeping it civil. They all know he still cares for me and get mixed signals here and there. How do you cope with a relationship that ended because 'the timing isn't right' or your ex had issues to work on?
CT98 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 You absolutely refuse, point blank, to have any further contact with him. You stop wishing him well before his shows, and you block his number so he can no longer contact you. This is the only way you're going to move forward.
Candle037 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Hi, I've dealt with this lots. He's doing you a favor and as he is unhappy himself he needs to find out what he needs before anyone else including you comes into the picture. I'm sorry it is hard but you need to take care of yourself, be civil, and move on. As far as NC I'm not a full supporter but I have used it in the past to distance myself emotionally as I get really caught up in whom I'm dating.
