Will My Ex Forget About Me During No Contact?
As you probably already know if you have read my no contact article, no contact is one of the crucial steps you need to take if you are looking to get your ex back.
Quite simply, it's easily the most effective method to make your ex deeply miss you.
When they get a sample of life without you, they will become nostalgic and start remembering some positive things about your relationship, which then will cause them to slowly start missing you.
Typically, you will employ no contact for a period of at least 30-days, so it's very common to hear questions such as "what if they move on during this time" or "will my ex forget about me during no contact?".
As I already mentioned, no!
They won't forget about you.
I mean, really?
If you two had an even remotely (and I'm talking like you saw each other more than once) serious relationship, it's literally not possible that they would forget about you so quickly.
You are just letting your own limiting beliefs take over here and that's what's stopping you from employing no contact.
In fact, let me say something even crazier...
No contact is going to do the exact opposite.
When you are ignoring them and not establishing any contact, THEY will be the ones wondering if YOU forgot about them, not the other way around.
If you, in addition, employ some sneaky psychological tricks taught in this guide, for example, your ex will be the one to most likely contact YOU after this period and ask for a fresh start.
The Difficulty Of No Contact
Look, I know it's hard to not contact your ex.
Actually, it's the hardest phase to get through when you are trying to get your ex back.
If you hope to have any chances of getting them back though, you need to understand that giving your ex the time they need is your best bet right now.
You can't expect to talk your way back into their heart at the moment.
Your ex broke up with you because they lost attraction to you.
I know that's not the nicest thing to hear but the quicker you accept it, the more chances you have in succeeding.
Ask yourself this: why do you think this loss of attraction occurred?
Was it because you became too controlling in the relationship?
Maybe because you didn't let them live their life normally anymore?
Perhaps you became too lazy and had no drive for anything?
Whatever the case is, your ex got tired of it and broke up with you.
After a breakup, they are still associating you with these negative things.
What you are achieving by employing no contact is letting your ex slowly drift back into being emotionally neutral towards you.
Once this happens, you have a way better chance of actually getting them back.
Pushing through no contact is hard but what you are doing right now is letting your own limiting beliefs dictate your judgement.
You see, I have recommended no contact to at least hundreds of men and women by now with great results and guess what?
Not a single one of them came back to me like: "Oh well, I did everything as you told me to do but I guess my ex just forgot about me during the no contact period".
Not a single one.
This in itself should tell you something.
The truth is that the people who claim things like "no contact doesn't work" or "your ex will forget about you during no contact", don't actually do things properly.
This is the sole reason no contact gets a controversial reputation in the breakup world.
Yes, people start out fine but then as soon as their ex gives them the slightest hint of interest, they think that starting a conversation with them is a great idea.
Wrong!
You need to stay strong and actually be silent for the full time period. If you are going to be starting no contact, commit to it!
What Actually Happens During No Contact
If you are already getting sick of me convincing you to start employing no contact, beware because more is coming.
After a breakup, people usually fall into one of two categories.
A) people who want to get over their ex.
B) people who want to get their ex back.
If you belong to EITHER one of those groups, employing no contact is the best way to achieve your goal.
Now, since you are reading this article and you are worried that your ex might forget about you during this time, I'm assuming you fall into the latter category.
Here is the thing though:
You will never get them back if you don't disappear for a while and you just act normal.
Put it this way:
They currently aren't attracted to you. Otherwise, they wouldn't have broken up with you. If you now try to convince them and beg them to take you back, why would they?
Your ex hasn't yet seen any change in you so they have no reason to take you back.
Simply, they need time in order to take a break from you and let all the negative emotions like anger and resentment fade.
You will have a much better shot of getting them back if you let them return to a more neutral state when it comes to you.
Also, it's not like you are going to be laying on the couch bored to death for the entirety of the no contact period.
No, desperately waiting for your ex to contact you while sitting inside your house is a big mistake.
If you want to have the best chances of getting them back, you are going to be out there improving yourself, going to the gym, eating healthier, things like that.
Well, If They Won't Forget About Me, What Will They Be Thinking During No Contact?
This is a good question.
You might be wondering that since I already told you there is no way they forget about you during no contact, what is it then that they will be thinking during this time?
As previously mentioned, no contact WILL make your ex miss you.
I don't care how badly things ended between you two. It's wired into our DNA.
Your ex was used to you being around all day, texting and just generally staying in touch.
Then, you suddenly vanish off the face of the earth.
Think about this:
Do you miss someone who you see and talk to every day?
No?
Well, do you miss someone who you USED to talk to every day, but then they suddenly disappear and you can't get in touch with them?
You might not miss them right away, that's true.
But as time keeps going on, you will start to wonder what's going on and this exact same principle applies to your ex.
"Why haven't they reached out"?
"I wonder what they are doing".
"Have they moved on this quickly"?
"Have they found someone else"?
Assuming it was your ex who dumped you, after the breakup, they were probably thinking that they could get you back just by giving you one phone call.
Now that you are employing no contact, they see that you aren't that easy.
They will start to have questions about you in their head and obviously, they aren't going to be getting any answers for a while.
Their curiosity will never be satisfied since you are staying quiet the whole time.
Eventually, the mystery you have created with no contact will cause your ex to start thinking about your past relationship.
The good and the bad. The beauty here is that since you aren't contacting them at all and they are starting to miss you, they are much more likely to memorize and fond over the good memories of your relationship, rather than the bad.
Days are passing and you still aren't giving them any answers. Your ex is really starting to feel your disappearance and the curiosity is weighing on them.
No contact truly is the most powerful tool you can use to get them back.
Use This During No Contact And Force Your Ex Back
If you've read this article all the way here, I have got some great news for you.
I'm going to give you a tool that is going to force your ex to feel so much emotional obsession towards you that they have no other choice but to take you back.
What I'm talking about is a video presentation made by Brad Browning.
Maybe you've heard about him before, maybe you haven't.
All you need to know about him right now is that he is the guy who is going to fix your relationship faster than you think.
You see, down below, I'm going to give you a link that is quite literally going to change your life.
It's going to teach you Browning's famous "ex back method", that has recovered thousands upon thousands relationships.
This method involves Browning's patented "no contact tricks" that I can't reveal here...
All I can say about them is this:
If you watch this video all the way to the end and then employ this method to the TEE, before you even know it, your ex will be knocking at your door begging YOU for a second chance...
Just imagine how it would feel like to have your ex pinning you against your bedroom wall, gazing at you with that look they used to give you, and kissing you like you're the last person they'll ever kiss.
Pretty good right?
If it does, prepare yourself because that's exactly what's about to happen:
Summary
- No contact will not make your ex forget about you.
- It's in fact going to do the exact opposite. The curiosity will build up slowly and they will begin to miss you.
- If you are looking to get them back, it's absolutely essential to stay silent for a while and not contact them.
- Whether your goals are to get them back or to get over them, no contact is really hard to get through. It will actually be the hardest part in your journey after breakup. Everything is easier after no contact.
- You should spend your time wisely during this time and improve yourself to have the best possibilities in the future.
- Eventually, once you feel like you are ready and if they haven't asked you to get back together with them already, you could text them. I recommend you follow a proven to work texting guide that's been designed to rebuild lost attraction and get people back together.
