The No Contact Rule: Will Your Ex Miss You If You Don’t Contact Her?

Your girlfriend broke up with you, and you suddenly went into chase mode — big mistake.

A man should never chase an ex-girlfriend.

Chances are, you may not be able to get out of the breakup void — an endless cycle that thrusts you into a world of grief, self-loathing, denial, and desperation.

This is not to say you should deny the fact that you are unhappy. Acknowledging the pain can help you overcome it.

But another thing to consider is that it can also take a toll on your mental and emotional health, making you descend into a deeper, lonelier void.

You can have a lot of different reasons for reaching the breaking point of your relationship, but moving on is never impossible.

Everything is going to be okay if you give yourself a little more time.

“Will it make it any better if I don’t contact her?”

You might have the urge to grab your phone and check if she called or left you a message. If not, you attempt to contact her yourself.

Do not pay attention to your urges.

The more you do, the more you make it worse on your end.

There’s no easy way to tell whether she will return your call or respond at all.

The best you can do is to distract yourself with something else.

Not contacting her will shift your focus to yourself

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance are known as the 5 stages of grief.

Wherever you fall on any of those stages, the end game is being able to move on — and that’s a fact.

Did you know that by focusing on yourself, your ex is likely to feel a sense of loss?

Other than that, your emotions are going to be reduced back to their normal baseline, making you feel less miserable about what happened. In fact, you might even be glad it’s all over.

“Will she really miss me if I don’t contact her?”

Possibly.

Contacting her will give her hints that you are not doing well without her.

While she does not necessarily enjoy knowing that you are suffering, she might still have the drive to push you away even more if she thinks it’s best.

It does not mean she had fully accepted the facts.

It’s possible that she’s going through a hard time too, but by distancing yourself a bit, it will give you space to think about the gravity of the situation.

Other than that, it will also make her wonder how you’ve been.

Contemplating on dating someone new…

So you’ve reached a point where you finally passed the breakup torment.

Even more so, you’ve come up with new ideas and goals you want to achieve, and all in that moment, a new girl shows up.

While it might seem like a green signal for you to take the move, it is also important to take things slow.

Ask yourself if you are entirely ready for a new relationship.

That is a question you need to think about seriously, as it might mean completely turning the page and never bringing up the past anymore.
