crazyguy123 Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 A few days ago, I pocket dialed my ex. I know a lot of people do play games after a break up, but I genuinely didn't intend to pocket dial her. For the first 3 weeks of the break up, I blocked her on my instagram, then unblocked. So I pocket dialed, a few hours later she called back but I never picked up because I was with my friends and away from my phone. Later on in the evening, she texted me "Not sure if you meant to call. Hope you're doing well." I replied "Sorry pocket dialed. I am doing well" Does this mess up NC?

Happy Lemming Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 As a general rule, I delete the phone number of an ex-girlfriend from my phone the minute I get dumped, thus I won't drunk dial them. I don't block them, though. I have no social media, so I can't speak to that. I would delete her from your phone list, so this doesn't happen again. 1
FMW Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 I agree with Happy Lemming. If you can't handle the idea of not having her number, then go old school and write it down somewhere and leave it at home buried in a drawer. But remove it from your phone. That way you can't butt dial or drunk dial when you're out (my biggest problem in the past). You'll also have to delete your call logs and texts. When you're at home, having to actually go search through a drawer for it will hopefully give you time to remember why you hid the number and rethink using it. NC now has to start from scratch again because yes, it was messed up with the call/texts.
snowboy91 Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 The pocket dial was an accident. These things happen. The whole point of NC is to allow time to process emotions and heal. I don't think there's been much damage if any on that front so I wouldn't see it as a big deal.
