Will I get my ex back?

06/02/25 5:31pm

My ex and I were together for 7 months. We were great together and had a lot of fun. I was broken up with very abruptly because they are questioning sexuality. After we broke up we went for a week without seeing each other but still messaging back and forth. After that week we actually spent an entire week together and it felt like nothing changed and we acted like we were still together. Then one of us had to leave for work. The first week during this we talked in the phone and sent messages back and forth. However, my ex then called for no-contact and has since blocked me on all social media. Is there a chance we get back together?

We’re sorry you’re dealing with this. Breakups are never easy—it’s possible your ex is having a hard time saying goodbye, too, which may be why you’ve continued to hang out since ending the relationship, only for them to go no-contact.

It sounds like your ex is in need of some space from the relationship in order to reflect and explore their sexuality. It hurts to have an ex go no-contact, but the best thing to do is to respect their wishes. It’s possible they'll reach out again in the future to reconnect, even if just as friends—but don’t count on this. Instead, take space for yourself to focus on healing from the breakup. Focus on your friendships and on your personal well-being and growth. In time, you'll get past this.
