I did it too, after 6 months :D and its going well right now. Every situation is different and I cannot analyze your situation because I don't know enough about your relationship. If you feel really good, maybe try just friendly ask how he is doing or something

I had msged him too when I felt.like...got response but it didn't grow further...then my bday came n we chatted d whole day on WhatsApp but that was it...general talk
But now I am giving him some time to open up again coz I feel he is still not ready and I m ok with it too...
Ours is 8 yrs relationship..I know it's just not possible to let go after all these years...so m.holding onto hope and faith
I feel u should avoid for contact for smtime more...but incase if u feel too intuitive then u can try a normal.msg but don't keep hopes up for a.sudden change..only show ur happy side.dont talk at the breakup

Sometimes it's not a good idea . Last Tuesday out of the blue he text me and we texted back and forth 8 hours .
At the end of the day , we both said how much we enjoyed talking . He said he had thought about me and that when he wasn't busy with moving and work he'd text me .
I texted him the next day and I got maybe 5 words , but he said he liked talking and we'd talk soon .
That was last week and this week nothing .
I'm giving him space and I won't text or call anymore .
I've had progress and I won't come off as needy or pushy .
You don't want to make the wrong move and push him further away .

Ya very true...shouldn't sound needy. Same here...I.will now not text anymore that too very soon after we msged that day 5 days ago.
Just if u actually have some work may be u can...but I would say give it time.dont count on 30 days no contact

I think in my case it's the best . Think hard before you make a move first
