Briefly breaking NC to ask how they’re doing during the pandemic

Hello all,

I’ve failed a few times at NC, and I’ve restarted (a little over 2 weeks now). But I want to reach out to make sure they’re doing ok during this. But it’s not just them I want to ask about. I want to make sure their family is doing well also. Do you think it’s a good idea to break NC and ask?

@bob.gray27 Yes, you could break NC since it’s been 2 weeks. But don’t ramble on and on. Just check about how everyone is doing and don’t contact everyday…

I’m struggling with this too. I’m getting messages asking “are you okay”, “it must be hard being alone” etc etc and I don’t want to be rude. I’m worried it will set me off on a spiral over obsessing over his messages again and hoping he will want me back. At the same time I don’t want to make him angry and think I am an uncaring and awful person. :frowning:
