I've recently gone through a very painful break-up and some conversations with friends/family left me with quite a bit to think about.
Something I keep hearing is that if you go NC immediately (as I have) the ex will almost always return. I was wondering if that's been true in most people's experiences?
It's been nearly a month since the break up and I am still holding onto the hope he'll be back, but I just want to know how realistic this really is.
For context yes I know I should be focusing on myself (I'm trying - really!), my ex was the one who left me and he didn't give an actual reason so to be honest I'm feeling slightly lost right now.
If anyone has experienced anything like this and ended up reconciling I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Do they really always come back?

It surprises me that going NC gets them back as this hasn’t been the case for people who I can think of.

Thanks so much, really interesting to read this. Looks like it's hard to predict and I'll just have to wait and see, I suppose
