If your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend is ignoring you after a breakup, this could be because he or she feels uncomfortable talking to you. They may feel too upset about the breakup, then avoiding you in a hopeful attempt to forget it. Breakups can be difficult for both parties and the other person may feel differently about the breakup than you do. The other person could find it too painful to continue having a friendship or having casual chat occasionally as it could be a reminder of what you used to have together. This usually happens after a recent breakup, time is a great healer, if you want you can wait a few weeks and they tend to get in touch them selves or may feel ready to talk when you contact them.

There could be a variety of reasons as to why he would be ignoring you. Breakups are extremely painful and people have different ways of healing from them. When I experienced many breakups myself, I found that distancing myself from the person allowed me to heal immensely. By dis communicating with them, it allows you to personally reflect on yourself and do whats right for you in order to heal. Your significant other could also be very hurt from the breakup and would want to be able to work on his own personal conflicts. The best thing to do if someone is ignoring you during a breakup is to give them space and wait until they contact you.

Breakups are tough.. A bit of cooling time may be needed for both people before contact is made again. Reach out if you wish and mention that you are always there whenever they are ready to get in contact with you. Maybe when the other person has a bit of time and space they will feel ready reach out to you and talk about things properly.
It’s hard but it takes time.
Breakups can be tough but it’s important to consider that everything happens for a reason so try and remember what is for you won’t pass you!

it really depends on individual! after my previous partner initiated a breakup, he ignored me and all my attempts to reconcile or get a closure. it has been months and i'm still equally confused, but i believe it's that he just wants to end everything with me. but there are other possibilities where perhaps your ex just wanted to get over you and ignoring you could be his way of doing so. it's confusing for you, definitely, especially if he wasn't acting like that before the break up. but perhaps you should also figure out what you want to do now after the break up! all the best.

Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear about your breakup, it must be hard for you. If you did something wrong, leading to the breakup, he might be still mad at you, thus he isn't talking. Or it could be him needing to sort out his feelings after the breakup. Feelings can be pretty messed up after breakups and I'm sure you and him need time to think things out. Maybe he just isn't a talkative person. For example, I've met people in my life who would only talk when necessary. But i do not know your boyfriend, i believe that among us, you know him best. I trust that you'll find out why soon and i believe in you. Hope things get better.

The reason could be because he wants a clean break and a fresh start and he thinks that it is for the best that you part in that way . You may prefer contact still but it could lead to problems and may give you the notion that he intends to make it up with you again . This may leave the break up a lot harder for you to accept and move on for . So it may be he thinks that this is the best way to do things even though it seems difficult for you to see why he is not giving you any attention

Break-ups can be tough! He may need a little time for himself, therefore if he is ignoring you he may be trying to figure out his own personal feelings and emotions with the events of the break-up. Be patient, allow him to have the time and space that he needs to figure out his next moves for himself.
Take this time out to focus on yourself, figure out your own emotions and feelings! Find your own next moves in life and always be the best version of yourself. Everything will work out for the both of you, and you will both regain happiness again!

Break ups are actually hard on every party involved. Sometimes ignoring the person is their way of dealing with the break up.

Breaking up can be a very difficult transition. Everyone has their own approach for when it comes to coping with it! For some, it is easier to just avoid the situation and not interact anymore. Think of it as "out of sight, out of mind." When one keeps communicating with someone they are trying to get over, regular communication can make that nearly impossible!
