Default I just Broke NC because I had a moment of madness

Wanted to send him the photos of a project we had worked on togethe.I just sent a photo no text. Then he responded and I returned the email. I didn’t talk about any personal issues just the project outcome.I now feel crap.

Be this a lesson to keep NC no matter how you may feel because after breaking it you will feel SO MUCH WORSE!

I feel angry, disappointed, sad and like a failure. I will have to start again.

I think breaking NC is something everyone must go through..sometimes a couple times.

The only way you really find out why not to break it, is to break it!

i agree, you have to live through it a few times. thats how i learned the value of NC and taking time away for as long as it takes to heal after a breakup.

i feel like thats a big lesson, but aren't there others? i know the NC thing and I've stuck to it, but doesn't a time come when there is a next step? if you go solid NC all the time, every time, do you really have any chance of being on really good terms and being chill with your ex?

things have never end up this way for me with my exes, and its frustrating. NC helps to make you realize why a relationship wouldn't work and gives you time to heal, but it doesn't teach you how to un-NC, know what i mean? i could be chill with certain ex's but i have no idea, and no luck, transitioning to that.

plus the pressure of NC can make one feel like its absolutely, completely wrong to interact with an ex.

I agree. Its not easy. I sort of did the same thing.

Next time we're going to duct tape you to a chair.

NC is a rule made up by people who don't trust themselves to do what is right for them in the moment. If breaking NC is good for you, do it.

it doesn't seemed to have been good, so re-enforces the reason behind NC, usually will make people feel bad after.

I broke many NCs too myself but now im on 12 dayof NC now its very hard not to talk to that someone u had a life with. I know its hard and boy when i always break NC i do feel angry and sad. I want to talk to my ex as a friend but right now isnt a good thing. When two people break up its a good idea that stops and cut all ties and contact and when you feel better to talk to them then you will know we all went through this on and off with every different relationship. this isnt something totally new to us. we all been through it . but iknow no body wants to go through this but i think its jus life and one day we will find the " one" and be happy again i hope this helped .

There's nothing wrong with talking to an ex, its just an issue when you both want different things. If you are on the same page and only want friendship then it doesn't matter. However if your ex affects you emotionally in a negative way then you are probably better off in NC.

i agree with what everyone has been saying about NC. my whole problem is not that when i try to ease out of NC, i blank out on what to even say. i guess i overthink things and perhaps come off as not being genuine?

its tough to come out of NC and be completely honest in what you say - you have no idea what that reaction will be on the other end. being ignored still isnt fun even when you are just trying to be friendly.
