I broke no contact. I was going over a week strong and I had a moment of weakness. I felt very lonely and very depressed. work has been a lot It's been very draining lately and I guess I just wanted someone to vent to I just wanted some comfort. I called him and it was nice to vent to him but We ended up still arguing about why we broke up well I guess why I broke up with him and that he still hasn't gotten the help that he needs. I feel so angry with myself that I had this moment of weakness and I felt so awful after I got off the phone with him because ultimately it didn't make me feel better it made me feel worse. It made me feel sad. He is such a good man and has a good heart but he just does not want to get help for himself and unfortunately I can't be with him because of that. It breaks my heart.

so I can't go completely no contact because we have a daughter.But i've been only talking to him through text messages for a while now
when you called him, were you hoping he’d show you something different this time or was it more about just not wanting to feel alone in that moment?
I was checking up on him to see if he was okay (He has untreated mental health issues which contributes to why we broke up) and also had a loneliness moment
it's okay
as long as your mind has set to leave him
you'll go longer than a week next time
even if you break it after two weeks
next time, you'll go longer than three weeks
that's the way it is
when i mess up no contact, i try to just tell myself “okay, that happened,” instead of beating myself up. it’s already painful enough without adding shame on top.
how do you help prevent yourself from not trying to contact them?
i broke no contact once after like 10 days because work was draining me and i just wanted someone who “knew me.” we talked, it felt warm for a second, then we ended up in the same old fight. i remember hanging up and feeling this heavy mix of guilt and sadness. it’s honestly one of the worst feelings. you’re not alone in that heartbreak at all
