does text messages count as NC???

[whywhywhy]

hi i have not spoke to my ex now in over a week, but we are texting each other - does this count? Or is this against NC too??

He text me a message last night saying that he is still coming over, and i did not reply back to him? Should i??? or what should I do? I would like us to be a couple again as this is killing me being apart from him as I love him so. i am now back to eating by the way and sleeping okay....... even though I did drop a stone and a half..... I am working on it!

A text message is contact.

 

NC is no contact whatsoever.

You are eating and sleeping, you may not feel it yet but you are starting to come out the other side. Don't text him don't reply and spoil yourself.

No contact is no contact in any way. No texting, no calling, no emailing, no driving by, no looking him up on the internet, no contacting his friends or his family.

It is the only true way of letting go. (And in some cases, it is the only true way to get back together!)

So long as you have any contact at all it means that she is still constantly in your thoughts and is part of your ongoing life. That means that you cannot get over her and move on. If she comes back that is ok but that is not the point of N/C which is for you to get over her.

As the others have said, no contact means no contact! Texting, calling, writing, emailing and IMing all count as contact. Having this contact with your ex is not helping you to get over her, it is only putting her right back in your thoughts! You are hindering rather than helping yourself.
