Going through no contact

[Brokenheartedman12]

I feel very lost right now, I made several post the last couple weeks about my fiance and I splitting up. We were together 3.5 years, currently go through no contact for about 3 weeks. I feel very lost without her throughout my days wondering what to do. We did everything together, part of me is hopeful she reaches out sometime, because feeling like strangers right now makes me absolutely sick. The break up was civil and not really any heated words thrown at each other. We did remove each other on socials. This is one of the toughest things I had to do as I was gearing up to be a husband that can support her and our future family. What do you guys do during no contact? Did anyone’s ex ever reach out? She’s being very avoidant atm.

About the hope she might reach out: that hope is normal, but it’s also something to be careful with. Some exes do come back into contact later. Many don’t. And even when they do, it’s often not predictable or on a timeline that helps you heal.

All my exes have reached out after we broke up, but I was also always the one to end the relationship and for me, I had no interest in going back.

Structuring your recovery around “maybe she’ll come back” tends to keep you emotionally stuck in the same loop you’re already suffering in.
