This is a question that is popped up every now and then. What if your ex contacts you during the no contact period? Should you just open up your heart and express your undying love for them? Or should you just be cold and ignore them completely? What will they think of your reaction?
During the no contact period, your main aim is to heal yourself from the breakup and become a better and a happier person. The only way to achieve this will be to stay away from your ex during this period and focusing on good things in life. However, if your ex contacts you during this period, you shouldn’t be rude to them or just snub them. You don’t want your ex to have any ill-disposed feeling for you.
If they call you during the no contact period, your attitude towards them should be like that of a distant acquaintance that you are in good terms with. You don’t want to get too personal with them, and you don’t want to cause them any harm. Don’t treat them like they are your closest friend and definitely don’t treat them like your lover. Just be amicable and a little distant.
Here are a few ground rules to talk to your ex during the no contact rule.
– Keep the conversation short. 10-15 minutes max. And then gracefully end the call saying you have to go somewhere or do something.
– Be happy and upbeat
– Don’t get personal. Keep topics purely on social level.
You should not
– Talk about your problems or your feelings
– Bring any type of negative conversation
– Talk for more than 15 minutes
If your ex asks any emotional and personal questions, be as vague as possible. If they insist too much, then let them know that you think its best that you both have some space at the moment.
The no contact rule works wonders if you do it right. To get a better idea of this, read the 3 Step Plan to get your ex back.

So here’s the problem…there’s this guy I’ve known for awhile. I’ve been in love with him since the day I laid eyes on him. I had a boyfriend at the time and was in a horrible relationship, once he and I had split up this guy wanted to be with me and I was to busy trying to get back with my ex to care. He went back to his ex, but every time they split up he comes back being my friend but doesn’t show that he wants to be with me or anything else. I’m seriously in love… Read more »
Hey, So here’s my problem. My boyfriend broke up with me 5 days ago. He told me when we were breaking up that he’d call me in a couple days. Every night with the exception of the night we broke up, he ended up texting me for a short period and asking me how I was doing and saying goodnight to me because it was always later at night. Then yesterday (Sunday) he ends up calling me in the morning and I started to try to pour all my emotions on him, so to speak. He ended up asking me… Read more »
When you blew up his phone you basically shot yourself in the foot that comes off as clingy and unattractive especially if you two aren’t even dating, you can always try.
What do you do, when you write the handwritten letter to your ex and she responds with ; I’ll always Love you and take care of yourself ?
You didn’t say the right words
If you said you loved her in the letter… Wrong
