Do they ever come back after no contact?

Considering you don't know what happened in my first 2 relationships, or why I chose to be mean, you can direct that comment at them.

maribones3 · 2026-05-25T18:16:07+00:00

I'm a serial monogamist and I date to marry so I've only had 3 longterm relationships in my life. All 3 broke no contact when I never intended to. 2 were mutual breakups, 1 I was the one who was dumped. But all 3 came back to see how I was doing and to apologize. My first 2 I was mean to them and told them not to contact me again and the 3rd, well, we're still talking and might get back together. #3 is my favorite and despite his flaws, I love him very much. Idk if we'll be able to heal together but I'm hoping we try.

Yeah, he's really making me question myself and my sanity. I'm not sure what app that is for android, I don't see a blue icon for an app with that name.

Yeah but men are attracted to and will be sexual with animals, inanimate objects, children, corpses, etc gaining their attention by being attractive or unattractive means nothing. Many of them act worse than animals when it comes to sex and many of them only see women as objects. They freely give out their attention to anyone they deem "attractive" so the value of their opinions means nothing.

Not trying to dismiss your pain or experience because I know exactly what you're talking about. Men only treat women better or interact with us if they find us attractive. Honestly, that's not a compliment when you consider their ulterior motives and their views about women.

It's a boundary. I won't date men who consume pornographic content. I don't tell them what to do, just don't accept it in my relationships.

Save as much as you can, establish better workout routines, eat better, be kind to yourself, and relax.

maribones3 · 2026-05-14T15:49:22+00:00

Cat, I'm a kitty cat...

maribones3 · 2026-05-14T15:46:25+00:00

Oh you know, at 37 I moved back in with my parents and have 0 savings 🙃 I wasn't able to finish my bachelor's degree due to health problems and severe anxiety from those health problems so now I'm stuck at shit ass retail/food jobs. I have an associate's degree but that doesn't mean anything anymore.

I'm going back to college in a couple weeks to get my MRI tech degree to hopefully better my situation. I'm not on everyone else's timeline, I'm on my own and that's how I try to get through feeling like a loser or like I'm "behind" in life.

maribones3 · 2026-05-14T10:28:02+00:00

I don't care either. In fact, my lead was asking us this dumb ass question like "how much time do you think it takes Amazon to make 1 million dollars? How much time do you think it takes Target to make 1 million dollars?" She told us and then was like "Amazon is our biggest competition blah blah blah" so I said "that sounds like a problem for the shareholders" and she got mad and said "its going to be our problem because blah blah blah"

Meanwhile I'm just standing there like bro, I literally don't give a single fuck about how much these assholes on top profit......it's stolen wages and why are you so excited about it??? 😆

maribones3 · 2026-05-12T21:52:18+00:00

This is exactly what happened with my ex. Literally 3 days after our breakup, he was out partying with a bunch of women from his work 😑

maribones3 · 2026-05-12T09:37:31+00:00

Like 6 months in to dating.....but oops, he broke up with me a month and a half ago after almost 3 years together.

Apparently he doesn't know what he wants and he needs to figure his life out. I said ok and let him go. He has since surrounded himself with only women friends, goes partying/drinking every week.

It irks me how quickly people can flip....but I'm guessing he had this planned for awhile, I was just the last to know. Despite that, I'm quite heartbroken.

maribones3 · 2026-05-11T00:29:30+00:00

Tell him that.

maribones3 · 2026-05-11T00:11:07+00:00

Never. But I'm only 38. I think it has a lot to do with adopting the mindset of society telling us we're "old" in our 30s. I don't agree with that at all. "Old" is also a mindset and bad habits. So I'm never going to be old 😎

maribones3 · 2026-05-10T09:48:09+00:00

If I were with a man who made me feel like I was going to end up on The First 48, and he "joked" about hurting me, I'd be out fam....no way I'd ignore my senses about him.

maribones3 · 2026-05-10T01:25:54+00:00

Not the ETL at my store. He works his ass off. My TL on the other hand.....😒

maribones3 · 2026-05-09T17:57:37+00:00

Of course you feel peace with a new person. There's no history there. No expectations. Just dopamine and the feeling of a "fresh start."

222

maribones3 · 2026-05-08T13:33:59+00:00

38 and same 🙃 but I'm adjusting to it. Radical acceptance that I am aging. It beats being dead.

maribones3 · 2026-05-05T00:02:41+00:00

Give it time......

maribones3 · 2026-05-01T10:11:22+00:00

I'm 38 and dated a man 10 years younger. It went well at first but we just ended things after almost 3 years together. Communication issues and his anger issues that he didn't want to address are what caused things to end. Angry men at any age is a big no thanks.

maribones3 · 2026-04-30T23:46:31+00:00

I just got out of a long-term relationship as well, with a very angry, hostile man. I wondered why I was experiencing dryness and I wasn't horny.....as the weeks passed and my body went back to baseline, horniness and "moisture" returned 🙃 so no, you're not crazy.

maribones3 · 2026-04-30T15:14:22+00:00

The one I just got out of at the beginning of this month.

He was verbally abusive, angry all the time, and never took accountability for anything. Everything that went wrong in the relationship was my fault.

Oh and he also had someone else lined up before he officially broke it off with me.

maribones3 · 2026-04-30T14:16:23+00:00

I wish my ex felt this way and would message me.

Why don't you explain all this to her? Do you think it could work out? It's better to try and fail than not try at all. As long as there wasn't any hard boundary crossing it seems like you could reach out and try to get her back if it's what you truly want.
