Slight background information relating to the question:
I had a bad argument with my other half just before the weekend (I had to head home for family obligations), which culminated in a massive fight on Tuesday. Incidentally, we also live together in student accommodation.
He openly admitted that he wouldn't have spoken to me when I returned from home on Sunday, and that he waited for me to make first contact. If I hadn't, he never would have bothered to talk to me and would have assumed we'd broken up after a long enough period of time.
The actual question:
If both parties are operating on the "No Contact Rule" (I.e., don't contact your ex between 30 days and 3 months after a sizable argument or break-up) in the hope of coaxing the other to "relent" or such, then surely nobody wins?
Fair enough allowing time for healing (and potentially licking wounds) after a break-up or a fight, but surely both people are just waiting on the other to make the move?
I just wondered what other people's opinions were on this, and if anyone had experience of this before?
