Why do i feel like i'm waiting for him to reach out?

Author

It feels like none of my progress counts. How can I celebrate “no contact” days as progress when the truth is I’m just waiting for him to reach out first?
I’m not doing any of this willingly. I don’t want to be alone. I want him back, but not like this.
So yeah, I “relapsed” but really I took the first opportunity to reach out that I thought could be successful.
Sincerely
AllAlone

when you reached out, were you hoping he'd actually changed, or were you just exhausted from missing him?

I feel you, I'm doing the same but even than, it is still progress and still healing. Resesiting the urge is still progress and even giving in but recognizing how it made u feel and what u want to change moving forward Is progress as well!
