Free relationships & wellbeing tip: Did they say no contact or 'maybe someday'? (step 4 of 9 from "After a Breakup: Honest Talk, Space, or Moving On").

'Maybe someday' is not permission today. 'Never contact me' is clear law. 'Let's be friends soon' still needs waiting until they initiate friendship.

If they are in a new relationship, your reach-out disrespects three people. If you would not want a ex appearing in your DMs while you heal, do not do it to them.

Pro tip: Ask your trusted friend: 'Am I trying to respect them or relieve my anxiety?' Honest friends help.
