The rule of thumb is to wait 30 days before you speak to your ex once again. If you were together for a very long time and you break up, you may need to extend this to six weeks. At the most, 2-2.5 months is how long the no-contact phase should go.

How long should I wait to talk to my ex again?

Breakups are hard, but even though it can feel like reaching back out to your ex will fix things, Brenner advises waiting a while before doing so — at least a couple of months.

Should you text your ex again?

In most cases, you should only text your ex if you want them back and you feel its possible to have a healthy and long lasting relationship with them. If you are texting them to get closure, you are just wasting your time because there is a good chance the answers to your questions will give rise to new questions.
