Does the NO CONTACT rule work after a breakup?

If you want your ex back does the NO CONTACT rule work after a breakup?

Mostly yes

Mostly no

Sometimes

It's not something that would ever work on me. 1) I’m not likely to take back an ex to begin with… 2) If I’m mad at you for some reason, you have a very limited time to work shit out. A few days to cool off with no talking is fine after a fight, but then either you work it out or too bad... If I try to contact a girl to work things out and she ignores me, then I burn that bridge and she no longer exists for the rest of eternity. You could light yourself on fire in front of me and I’d just walk by like you were invisible. Playing games when things are serious is the worst thing you can do.

Any relationship built on game playing behavior is doomed.

I did this. I wanted to know if i could move on better without hearing anything from him. I cut contact not realizing it was the no contact thing. Didn’t speak to him for 90 days straight. He came back apologetic and telling me he loved me blah blah blah... we’re friends, but I’ve seen NOTHING. That would make me think it’s a good idea to take him back.
Depends on why you two broke up and for what purpose you are doing it.

Your ex suppose to read your mind that you want to try and have a relationship again? If you don't have any contact with them they are going to move on because that's what people do. You want your ex back then talk to them and see if they are willing to build the relationship back up and better than it was. If they don't, then their loss find someone who wants you.

No contact is for getting over an ex, not for getting them back lmao

The key to just about any kind of relationship is communication. During the Cold War, the U. S. and Russia realised this was so important that the "red line" was created.

If you want them back, reach out. If they don't respond, then take it as a hint.

Why The No Contact Rule Won't Get Your Ex Back ↗

[CatherineUK20]

If you want to talk someone you've recently broken up with. Talk to them.

Mostly no, but works better than anything else and is in fact the best step towards actually moving on which is what you should be doing anyway.

Why would you want to take back an ex? R you desperate

[smg99]

Sometimes it’s not about personal image for women it’s probably a created euphoric addiction to their ex. That is why these questions come up. it’s hard to overcome the mental replay, as women are highly reliant on thinking and over thinking about every minuscule detail. That’s what the forebrain relays. That’s why CBT and counseling to encourage rewiring brain / neuron connections and firing are so effective STEADILY. Rapid resolution is impossible depending on the individual or how they have assessed their ending or fully terminated relationships. The individual has most effect on their recovery. External advice is extra sensory motivation and drives home logic, if the forebrain is dominant: the center of the primitive forebrain for reproduction, sexual pleasure and resourcefulness in the days humans were evolving.

Have done it, will continue to do it because it works

For me it does cause I don’t contact if she doesn’t I can block her number.

[PinkChampagne]

If you want him, first why you even broke up?

[LegateLanius]

It's a waste of time.
