This Is Your Sign Not To Text Your Ex, Based On Your Birth Month

January

You shouldn’t text your exes because you’re past the point of settling. You’ve started to recognize your worth, so you should know that running back to them would be a dangerous idea. You deserve so much more. Don’t convince yourself otherwise.

February

You shouldn’t text your exes because missing someone isn’t a signal that you’re meant to be with that person. You can love them from afar. You can miss them silently. You can smile over the fun times you shared while recognizing that you don’t belong together anymore.

March

You shouldn’t text your exes because you’re going to regret it as soon as you do. You don’t want to ruin the progress you’ve made in getting over them. You don’t want to move a step back. You’ll be happier with yourself if you keep contact to a minimum.

April

You shouldn’t text your exes because you don’t really miss them. You miss being in a relationship. You miss having someone around who cares about you. You miss feeling like you’re loved — but this person didn’t love you the way you needed.

May

You shouldn’t text your exes because familiarity doesn’t necessarily equate to happiness. Just because you feel comfortable with this person doesn’t mean they’re the person you should spend forever alongside. It doesn’t mean you should stick with them.

June

You shouldn’t text your exes because this loneliness isn’t going to last. You are going to feel better soon, and when you do, you will be happy that you stood your ground and refused to crawl back to them. You will be proud that you chose yourself over them.

July

You shouldn’t text your exes because you are too forgiving. If you start talking to them again, you’re going to fall for them again. And if you fall for them again, you’re going to have your heart broken by them again.

August

You shouldn’t text your exes because it’s only going to end in an argument. You still haven’t healed from what they put you through, and trying to talk things out when you’re feeling so heated is only going to cause trouble.

September

You shouldn’t text your exes because there are so many other people who can keep you entertained. There are friends and family who will get your mind off of your heartbreak. Text them instead. Focus on them instead.

October

You shouldn’t text your exes because history is only going to repeat itself. Unless this person has shown proof that they have changed, you’re going to have the same problems that you did when you were dating. You’re going to get into the same arguments and experience the same heartache.

November

You shouldn’t text your exes because you’re doing perfectly fine without them. You don’t need their approval. You don’t need their attention. All you need is the person staring back at you in the mirror.

December

You shouldn’t text your exes because they would be reaching out to you if they wanted to make things work. You shouldn’t be the one putting in all the effort to reconnect, just like you shouldn’t have been the one putting in all the effort when you were a couple. It’s unfair and unbalanced.
