If you find yourself frustrated and saying “My ex refuses to talk to me… What is going on?” The answer could be that your ex is going through what we call a Positive Pullback.
You see, in order for your ex to actually break up with you, they had to create an image of you in their mind as the kind of person that is worthy of breaking up with.
Now, this image they have of you may be rightly or wrongly deserved. But it often involves them exaggerating or blowing certain characteristics about you or your behavior out of proportion in order to make you out to be the “bad guy” that they had no choice but to dump.
Following along so far?
Okay, here’s where things start to get interesting.
You see, if you start interacting with your ex and you are NOT that person that they thought you were when they broke up with you, then your ex has a very uncomfortable possibility to consider.
They must consider the possibility that they were wrong.
They were wrong in their judgement of you.
And possibly that they were wrong to break up with you at all.
And because of this, they often go silent for a period of time after a positive interaction.
Your ex won’t talk to you. Your ex won’t respond to texts. Your ex will go quiet.
They are trying to come to terms with the fact that they thought you were one way, but you showed up as someone completely different.
And they have to decide which version they are going to put their trust in.
This is the Positive Pullback.
When things like this happen, you may need to give your ex a little bit of space, but more than that, you need to keep showing consistently the fact that their initial judgement of you was completely wrong.
Over time, this will allow them to erase the version of you that they broke up with from their memory and they will start to really understand that you are the person that you are showing them right now.
