I was just wondering if men ever break No Contact. It just seems like it is always us women. Are we the weaker sex?

Yes, they do, especially if you broke up with them. I think it's the person who is broken up with who is weaker, rather than being a matter of gender.

If they broke up with you, I've found the reasons men will get in touch generally fall in one or more of the following categories:

1. They realized they made a mistake and want to try again (rare, but it does happen. If this is the reason they are calling, they will TELL you that up front).

2. They genuinely like you and miss your company, and because they broke up with you, they are more ready to be friends, and don't realize you need more time.

3. They feel guilty about the breakup and want to know you don't hate them.

4. They want the ego boost of knowing that you're still available if they want you.

5. They want sex.
