So I accidentally opened my ex’s snapchat that he sent me is this breaking the rule or will me opening the snapchat and just not responding hurt my chances of getting him back? It was a mistake that I did when I wasn’t thinking.
No contact does not mean ignore your ex. It means don’t contact your ex. Let him contact you. When he contacts you, you should respond, but keep the response casual so you don’t come off as needy and desperate. Your ex reaching out to you is usually the goal of no contact. So congratulations.
It sounds like you got some bad advice somewhere and what you are actually doing is “playing hard to get”. THAT could hurt your chances of getting your ex back, as he will only try a couple times before getting the hint.
If there is a message in the snapchat, answer the message. If it is just a picture, just respond with “Hi”. If you aren’t sure how to respond, share more info here and I will help you.
He just sent me a picture of his face I’m not sure why I think it’s because he wants to be friends and he checked up on me cause he did that the day after our breakup before I started the no contact.
I was thinking of just responding “sorry I was busy yesterday forgot that I opened your snapchat” is this a good response to just a picture of his face
I think he is just testing to see if you are still on his hook.
No i do not think you should apologize or explain anything. That shows insecurity, especially since you didn’t do anything wrong. We want to show confidence as if you are doing just fine without him. The fact that you opened it but took this long to answer is actually helping you, because now he is wondering why you haven’t answered yet and that triggers anxiety in him that he could lose you. He doesn’t want to lose you. He wants to keep you on his hook as a backup plan.
If you are sure he intended to send that picture. Just say “Hi.” or if you prefer “Thank you. That is nice.” Just keep it casual and simple, this will invite him to say more. Make sure you are responding directly to this snapchat, so he doesn’t think it was just some random message you decided to send.
