8 Reasons Why the No Contact Rule Works

5. Eases the pain

Talking to your ex time and again or being in touch with her life will make it all the more difficult for you to forget all the hurt that the break-up caused you. You will be constantly dragged in that hole where you can do nothing but feel bad about the way things are. It will not help ease the pain and will in fact make it turn worse.

6. A way to get your life back in order

While you were in a relationship with that woman, you might have ignored some of the other important relationships in your life. There may be commitments that you made to your loved ones and yourself that you failed to keep. Before you met her, you might have had several plans for your life. With the no contact rule, you will get the time to calm your head and put your life back together.

7. Helps you move on

If you continue to talk to your ex, you will never be able to feel love for another woman. Breaking away from your past relationship is the first step to moving on to another. You need to not find love right away but at the very least you will be emotionally prepared to fall in love again.

8. Strengthens your current romantic relationship

If you do manage to find love again, it will only hurt your current love interest if you keep in constant touch with your ex. It will eventually ruin your current relationship and you will be exactly where you were when you broke up with your ex. Unless you give someone a chance to fill your life with love again, you will not be able to start the process of healing yourself.
