<human>: So about 3 weeks ago, my boyfriend of over a year, suddenly declared he wanted to be alone. It was pretty out of nowhere and I didn't understand what was happening, we were doing ok prior to that.

He then texts me to tell me he needs to think about us after we've had so many intense arguments (this is true) and I didn't take it well, for the past two weeks I've been doing all the 'wrong' things like text and call spamming, being negative, telling him I can't live without him etc.

After calming down, I've taken a step back and evaluated the situation. He was right, we needed some time alone from each other and I'm actually starting to improve myself (another issue between us was my depression) working out, studying, hanging with friends etc. However I'm still in love with him and I am 99.9% sure he is still in love with me too and I want the relationship to work, that's why I'm thinking about implementing the No Contact rule for 30 days, so we can both experience some space and self-improvement. I'm wondering if this is an effective way of dealing with this?

I decided to implement it for sure yesterday after not saying anything for 2 days, but first I needed to potentially rectify any potential damage I may have done with the spam negative texts etc so I sent 'hey, sorry about the last few days, been really emotional and I have other things stressing me out too. Wish you all the best.' and then decided to proceed. He replied with, 'You too [my pet name]' then another 'I think about u a lot' and then finally 'I hope I didn't wake you up, sleep well' Haven't replied.

So is how I'm handling things so far a good way to go about things with the hope of reconciling in the future? or will the no contact rule ruin everything?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
