What is no-contact after a breakup?

This entry describes no-contact after a breakup as a pause in romantic and social contact once the relationship between two adults has ended. It notes that the pause is about not continuing the old couple in private messages, not about dropping a child, a court date, or a bill that still has to be handled.

What this entry does not do

It does not apply to parenting or legal duties that still have to be handled, and it is not a way to punish a spouse inside an ongoing marriage.
