so broke up with the ex 2 days ago, suggested no contact and have been keeping it up. However, today I get a knock on my door. I wonder who it is and open the door and there is my ex saying that it is a bad decision that we broke up and we should think more carefully about what we are doing and that she misses me like mad and perhaps she did not try hard enough on her end to save the situation. Well, I gave her a hug and told her I need time alone.

How do you handle this situation? I think I was doing well moving on, even though it was tough, but now it is like someone hit the reset button on me and I have to start from scratch.

Is this just something that she did to make herself feel better? She admits that she felt better after she came over and hugged me and that I agreed to think it over. I have never had this happen before in a breakup. When I broke up the last time I never heard from my ex again (except for a nasty letter that she sent me 6 months later LOL!)

Yes. She is a self-centered person who continually disregarded your feelings when you were together, so it's no surprise that she's doing it now.

Every time she breaks the "no contact" agreement, it's like picking a scab.

Ignore any messages from her, and if she shows up at your door again, do not answer.

Next time don't answer the door simples LMAO

no seriously just you've told her your piece so leave it at that but if she turns up again I'd go mental mate I really would, this ( break up ) is what you need to carry on with your life ( from previous threads ).

Hi, I don't quite get what you are really asking here. Are you wondering if you should get back with her? That you should handle the situation better to avoid hurting her? Do you think she is playing you?

I know how you feel to be in that situation. Breaking up is really hard, even if you are the one who calls it off. I think the person who calls it off has the toughest job, unless you don't really care about the person.


Edit: I see that others referred to your previous threads . I didn't see them .....

I wouldn't have this situation. Id make it clear that we're done. No showing up at my door, no calling/texts, no silly messages on Facebook, etc.

If this happens again, OP, clearly, you're allowing it to happen.

If you want no contact, then there is no contact. Tell her to stop contacting you.

Hopefully you meet someone who will be better suited to you and will have the patience and understanding for your concerns.

So two days have passed. You felt you were doing well moving on. She showed up, hugged you (which you allowed). Now your wondering if the breakup is going well?

This breakup is not going well. Who hugs their ex to console them after a breakup? Your broke up!

You told her you need time to be alone. She clearly is not confident in the breakup. Are you? You gave her an answer that leaves a door open, and such hope alive. Combine that with the hug... and it is not over.

So of course she feels better. She has confirmed there are feelings and things are not completely over. She feels there is hope.
