Going No Contact after breaking up-A good idea?
Just curious about people's opinions about going No Contact after a break up.
When I broke up with my AXBF 2 weeks ago I immediately went NC.
During his last drunk call he revealed to me that he had been playing mind games and lying to me. Afterward, I had an 'AH-HA moment' when I thought back and realized this behavior had probably been going on for about a month (it was a long distance relationship). I was shocked/hurt and disappointed but decided it was in my best interest to cut contact with him altogether. I immediately called and left a voicemail telling him not to contact/communicate with me in any way and then I blocked my phone, email etc. so I could clear my head and heal without dealing with him.
What are your thoughts about using NC and it's appropriateness?
Was a kinder/gentler break up in order?
Thanks! -H
