Do exes always come back even if they initiated the breakup and you initiated no contact?

I wouldn’t count on it unfortunately :( If someone else initiated the breakup, the chances are that they were coming to this decision, processing it and grieving it for months beforehand. There’s an amazing podcast on Spotify called Just Break Up, and I highly recommend it. You can even submit your own letter asking for advice!

They may come back, but just to check in usually
