Hi, I broke no contact because I got this strange feeling that my ex wasn’t okay. I was worried about him. It is really hard healing and being worried about your ex knowing he doesn’t have anyone to lean on.

Why i broke no contact on day 3

i broke no contact early on because i convinced myself something might be wrong, but if i'm honest, part of me just couldn't stand the thought of him hurting alone. that caretaker instinct is HARD to switch off. 💔
I feel you❤️🩹
remembering that caring about someone and being responsible for them are two different things. i still worried about my ex every day for a while, but i had to let him carry his own life.
Thank you❤️🩹
Its just really hard when no one else wants to be responsible and he pushes away the people who want to lend a hand.. I’m really proud of him though because his answer showed that he got it so I may just have to trust that and do exactly what you wrote which is letting him carry his own life and hoping at some day he will have a lot of people around him supporting him.
did you reach out because you genuinely thought something had happened, or because the silence started feeling unbearable?
To check up on his wellbeing as I wrote.
If I did the other thing it would simply be cruel to both of us. Silence is the only thing I want. If I didn’t, reaching out because of being uncomfortable would not be genuine and really selfish. He deserves the world and I do to. What is hard for me is taking space to move on when he needs me (me being a person who have cared for him), and I hope he finds a replacement soon so he doesn’t have to do this alone.
I think you should be proud of how big your heart is. I’m sure it wasn’t easy to do that. but also remember you’re allowed to take care of yourself too.
Thank you😔❤️🩹
That's really stressful, it is so so hard seeing someone we love struggl. There was a time with an ex of mine whome I had lost contact with that i would feel this anxiety that he may have died and I wouldn't even know. Eventually I was able to let go and trust, knowing his life was his own and at the end of the day I had no control over his choices. I think there is no easy answer here, you just have to trust your self and listen to your own limits
Thank you so much. I agree.
Did your ex respond?
Yes! He said he’s doing horribly but that I have nothing to worry about this time around.
@Balloon is this nai'my..
