Free relationships & wellbeing tip: No-contact means every door stays closed (step 1 of 9 from "After a Breakup: Honest Talk, Space, or Moving On").

If they asked for space, that includes: no texts, DMs, emails, letters on their car, showing up at work or home, 'accidental' bumps, new accounts to follow them, asking friends to 'check in,' or logging into their accounts. Each violates privacy and trust.

Even if you 'just want closure,' flooding channels pushes them further away and can have legal consequences. Write what you want to say in your journal — not in their inbox — for the first 72 hours after the urge hits.

Pro tip: Give your phone to a friend for one evening if you drunk-text. No shame — planning beats regret.
