This book, life changing for me, as confirmed me that my ex is a commitment phobe and that those dynamics of Push/pull are very attractive to this type of persons. They, for one, can't commit to love but also can't commit to LOOSING totally their loved one. They're trying to stand between those commitments.

 

Absolutely brilliant book.. that teaches that there is really nothing you can do to have a SATISFYING relationship with the commitment phobe. Watch out.

Yup! My ex-husband is like that, too and he plays the push-and-pull game. He also loves to make me jealous. These men love a challenge, they run from clingy women.

 

However, it's not clear whether Billion's ex is a commitment phobe - maybe he has his reasons for not wanting to marry her.

NC brings a small number of ex's back, but not many from what I've seen on LS, so it's not correct to say 'NC really works' if you mean in getting partners back, but it works if it is done to move on and heal, which you seem to be doing, which is great :)

My ex of 18 years, left me 3 times in all, he did come back the 2nd time as I cut contact with him to move on and he didn't like that, but he left for a 3rd and final time 10 years later.

I guess NC can bring some people to their senses and realise how much they lost and then they regret it, but every situation and person is different, break ups happen for so many different reasons that NC can't (and doesn't) bring all ex partners back!

Would Like to get your advice on my situation!!

 

Was with my girlfriend for 3 years and she decided to ended it about 4 months ago. I know certain things was not the same in the last 3 months of our relationship but anyhow!!

 

I really love her still and thought she was my love of my life so am finding it hard.

 

Throughout these 4 months we have both said not to have contact but that didn't really work.

 

The other day she randomly txt me asking if I am dating this girl and I said no then she decided to drop that she has been speaking to another man and is going for a drink with him (which has hurt alot but oh well) after this I told her to leave me be because I need to finally get time to get my head round it all again.

 

But once again she has txt me saying how sorry she is and how much she cares for me and worry's about me. And knows I will move on (which is definatly not on my mind at moment)

 

I didnt reply to these txts and haven't spoke to her all week now? I just am so confused what is going on with her and why she won't leave me be for abit?

 

Any advice will be much appreciated?

I am wondering if no contact works with someone who is extremely stubborn. My ex gf is so stubborn its almost like a game to her just to say she outlasted a standoff.

I'm not for manipulating someone.

 

going NC, keeping the conversations short, and acting like you don't care isn't manipulation. that's you wanting to heal faster, not wanting to tell him your life story (and why should you if he's your ex), and keeping your emotional guard up.

 

 

thanks for your post, I like seeing experiences where the dumper changes there mind, I think it's because it gives me hope that one day my ex will come back and like you, I don't want her back any more.

Hey HoH- I followed your posts a year or so I ago during my bad breakup and I agree, NC works if you want to heal for yourself and move on to a better situation.

 

I'm going through what billion is experiencing. A part of you does get a certain amount of elation that your ex is beating on your door. For me, I am at that odd stage of indifference. Strangely, my ex is now married yet texting me little "cutesy" messages that I do not respond to ever.

 

NC can't be used as a tool to get your ex back, it can only be used as a time of growth, healing, and understanding of one's self worth.

Hi Loverboy! For your information, I haven't left my boyfriend. He left me when I wanted to discuss commitment... If I understand correctly, your girlfriend is the one that walked away. Then, you should be the one that keeps going NC. I have to admit I've read a book that was recommended here in the forum: The magic of making up. Have you read it? The book does offer great tips when you use the no contact. Let me know if you want to read it, I can email it to you. It may be time for you to contact her BUT, I suggest that you take time to fully prepare for that and really feel ready... the book really helps for that part.

 

To Sunsetred: Thank you! That is so kind! I'm really happy you enjoyed my post and happy my English readable (it is not my first language :).

I'll be checking this FB group for sure! I really need to learn that too: to keep balanced and centered in relationships.. for some reason, up to now, I couldn't really do it. The actual situation is putting light on this problem and I tend to solve it, I want to change that. Thank you for sharing!!

 

Very interesting 0hpenelope, I guess you are right. It does work for any kind of relationship. :)

 

 

Hi Billion,

 

Awesome thread :)

 

How is the book "the magic of making up"

 

Can you try to send it to me as well.

 

[email protected]

 

Thanks so much.

This thread is great! I'm just about to engage in NC (minus having to sort the flat out, ugh!) after a pretty heavy thee weeks after being dumped. NC definitely seems the best way to go...either you leave it long enough that you don't want them anymore or they beg you to take them back and YOU get to choose. Win-Win.
