They’re charming. Interesting. Probably hot. They might even be great in bed.
 But emotionally? They’re a locked vault with a “Do Not Disturb” sign taped to it.

If you constantly feel like you’re knocking on a door that never opens, chances are you’re dating someone who’s emotionally unavailable—and let’s be honest, it sucks.

Before you get more attached, let’s break down what that looks like, why it happens, and how to save yourself from the slow, painful spiral that usually follows.

Let’s not pretend we haven’t all been there.

It’s late. You’re alone. You’ve had a drink—or a memory. And suddenly your thumb hovers over their name in your contacts. Maybe it’s “just to check in.” Maybe you want closure. Maybe you miss the sex, the laughs, or the person you thought they were.

So should you text your ex?

Well… maybe. But probably not.

Before you fire off that “hey…” — ask yourself these five questions. Real questions. The kind that save you from emotional whiplash and regret with a side of tequila shame.

Let’s stop pretending this is complicated. If someone wrecked you—emotionally, mentally, or just with sheer inconsistency—the most powerful move you can make is No Contact.

I’m not talking about the kind where you "just check in" on their birthday or still stalk their stories like an emotional private investigator. I mean zero contact. Full blackout. Ghost mode. Radio silence. Nothing.

Not because you’re playing games—but because you’re finally done playing their games.

Here’s exactly what the No Contact Rule is, why it works, and why it’s not just about forgetting them—it’s about remembering you.

Missing someone toxic doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re human. Here’s how to deal with the mind games and emotional hangover, straight up and unfiltered.

Let’s just say it: Not getting an apology sucks. It’s one of the most frustrating, unfair, soul-bruising things that can happen in a breakup—or hell, in life.

They hurt you. They lied. They ghosted, cheated, manipulated, disrespected—or maybe they just casually stomped on your heart like it was no big deal. And then they moved on like nothing happened.

And there you are. Still waiting. Still angry. Still replaying what you should’ve said. And most of all—still hoping they’ll show up one day and say the magic words: “I’m sorry.”
