This is an interesting little story that happened to me which shows when you just stop things change!

Two years ago my husband and I had a massive row. It tore us apart as he sided with his family against me and I could never forgive him for this. We rowed incessantly and I called his family members all the names under the sun. I could not accept that a man could ever side against his wife whatever the circumstances.

Anyway, my husband moved out and stopped speaking to me totally in Feb 2012. I was devastated and did all the things you should never do like endless texting and emailing and begging him to take me back. This went on for months and I made an absolute fool of myself and I made myself ill. Sometimes he would answer, sometimes not but he would never contact me. This went on for about 6 months of me making an absolute fool of myself and going over and over everything in my mind until I was driving myself nuts.

One day after crying all night I thought stuff this I am worth more than this and I just physically pulled myself together. I got my hair done, started exercising again, tanning all the things I like doing and getting out there. I did not text him or ring him again. I met other people who liked me and although I thought about my husband he was no longer at the forefront of my mind.

So Christmas came and went and then suddenly out of the blue I started receiving the odd text from him. He was friendly and I was civil in return but I did not ever suggest we meet or do anything, nor did I initiate any contact. He then suggested we go out for the day, go places all kinds of things which I had so wanted months ago. Even suggested we go on holiday although he would never go on holiday when we were together. I am genuinely amazed that by leaving someone alone and presumably letting them calm down and remember you fondly, how things can change. I am evaluating my life totally now and just being civil but I wanted others to know that no contact appears to work and it is when you lose interest that they appear to want to come back. So please all out there who were/ are desperate like me hold your head up high, demean yourself no longer, stop begging and get on with your life.

Caring Aunty A agony auntI certainly can relate to your story from experience.

This reminded me of a nursery rhyme; …leave them alone and they’ll come home, wagging their tails behind them… :)

Thank you Anonymous
