It’s been days since your breakup. You’re minding your own business, healing in peace, even starting to enjoy your coffee again. And then…Bam! A “I miss us” text. A song they know reminds you of them posted on their story. Or worse, they message your best friend asking if you’re okay.
Let’s be real: this isn’t a coincidence. This is bait.
Some exes don’t want to get back together—they just want to make sure you haven’t moved on. They throw out emotional fishing lines, hoping you’ll bite. A “happy birthday” when they never remembered it while you were together. A passive-aggressive meme. A text saying they had a dream about you (spoiler alert: they didn’t).
Here’s the thing: No Contact only works when you hold the line. They’ll test your boundaries, but that doesn’t mean you need to flinch. The trap is designed to trigger you—curiosity, guilt, nostalgia. But ask yourself this: if they really cared about your healing, would they be trying to interrupt it?
Here’s how you don’t fall for it:
– Pause before responding to anything. Even silence.
– Screenshot and vent in the Let it Go community (because we will hype you up).
– Tap your No Contact Tracker to stay grounded and remind yourself why you started.
– Write in your journal what this bait really means (hint: it’s not love, it’s control).
Every time you don’t reply, you reclaim power. You rebuild peace. You remind yourself: I’m not the person who used to chase crumbs. You’re done being hooked. You’re busy healing.
And guess what? That’s the scariest thing for someone who only wanted you broken.
