What is the difference between silent treatment and no contact after breakup ?

Question - (2 January 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 3 January 2009)
A female Canada age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I often hear giving your ex the silent treatment. Is that the same as n/c ?

My b/f broke up with me 3 months ago and we have no contact completely for 8 weeks. He did not acknowledge my birthday, when I sent him email and text to wish him Merry Xmas, he did not respond. Our breakup was not overly negative, and is not we grew out of love. I first initiated the breakup due to misunderstanding, I regret it, and wanted to get back together, but he didn't want to give us a second chance. We were together for 6 years, we love each other very much, but we just cannot be together anymore, he said that letting go of the relationship is more for my sake and happiness. We still have feelings for each other even though we're apart. But I just don't understand how can he be so cold to me after the breakup ? How can he acts like this to someone that he has loved for so many years ?

Men are totally different to women - they try and block out everything to be able to move on. Men can stick to their guns and be very stubborn.

If you really do still think the love is there - why don't to write down all your feels and post him a letter? That ay he could sit down and absorb your thoughts.

Tell him you regret breaking up and miss him.

You have nothing to lose.

Give yourself a time limit in which you could possibly get back together, and if no response or luck in say 2 months time - its time to let go.

Good luck xx
