'No Contact' support thread - anyone want to join

[Resoloot]

It may be a whisper in the dark, but is anyone currently going through a period of 'no contact' with a significant other and wants to join a support thread to help each other maintain the rule?

I am on my third attempt at enfocing a 'no contact' period.

I'm on day three and intend to go on for as long as it takes for a certain thing to be resolved in our relationship, before we can move forward.

It's hard as it drives bf mental, but I really, really need to do it for my own sake to break the impasse that we are in.

Am finding it difficult, but hope things will get easier.

Anyone else?

That doesn't sound very healthy OP.

No-one should have to ignore their partner completely in order to get a resolution to a problem.

You’re right it’s not healthy but no contact is real and ppl have their own reasons for using it as a tool in order to get their relationship to a healthier place 🙂

So you are giving him the silent treatment? Generally something criticised on here if a bloke does it (quite rightly). Nothing gets resolved without communication op.

If completely ignoring someone until you get your own way is the 'tool', that relationship will never get to a healthier place.

There are many ways of communication that don't even involve face to face conversations.

I think anyone who believes this sort of treatment is ok, really needs to learn better communication techniques.

My understanding of no contact was after a break up or to break off any kind of unhealthy relationship (friend/family), not as a tool to use during a relationship. That's called the silent treatment which is very different
