when do i reset the nc count

Author

so my ex reached out 9 days ago but stayed silent after that. and I've been miserable since 😊but my question is, do i reset my 79 days of no contact into 9 days of nc or should i keep the count?

when you think about resetting the count, is it about feeling punished or about giving yourself a fresh start?

just celebrating the feeling of self control

it’s your choice but i found it easier to keep the 79 days going. it reminds you how far you’ve already come

my ex ghosted me for a week too and i was obsessed with the count. i ended up keeping the original NC count it helped me see progress, not setbacks.

Ahh I see
Umm I would suggest maybe you should change your NC

It is all about till how long you guy didn't contacted, and inside jokes and all, other than important stuff, ig you should change it
Coz later if you won't call him or feel like calling, you will see your strike is so low

then you might control yourself
Like this you can move on from him faster

Your ex reached out, did you interacted? like
what happened exactly?

i posted the reason when he did on my previous post. but basically yes he did and yes i did interact aswell because it was kinda a concerned call on his side to ask and to tell me to register for a required exam. but then called again on the evening disguised as a follow up and to ask what happened but then we talked casually like used to joked around and stuff.then he said you can call me anytime and he's happy we talked. i said same here and we will talk. then hang up. so yeah that's what happened. 🥲
