so it’s been 6 days in since the last time we talked otp/over text. i was told that 6 days is a short time to break no contact. is that true? then when would be the right time to reach out? this guy and i never dated so it should be okay to go back to how things were, right? i’m the one that asked for space becuz i got too attached to him so i should be the one reaching out but i want him to do that. even tho i know he won’t. it feels like torture, not being able to talk to him becuz of what i did to myself. why am i like this? why can’t i just pretend everything’s fine? i hope this is all worth it in the end. i’m tired of secretly wishing for something more and accept the way things are rn

i gave myself more time until i could reach out without secretly hoping their reply would fix the ache, because going back too soon just put me right back in the same loop.
counting every single day of no contact and wondering if six days was somehow enough. when i got attached to someone i never officially dated, the silence still hurt like a real breakup, because the feelings were real even if the relationship had no label.
I think you should just reach out. if he respects your boundaries then he won’t reach out. just make sure you put your mental heath first and don’t over think it. I hope this helps!!
i really felt the “torture” part, especially when you said you did this to yourself. do you actually want to reach out because you’re ready for things to stay as they were, or because accepting that you wanted something more is hurting too much right now?
