A guy that hasn’t contacted you in 5 months is showing that you are not in his thoughts all that much, if at all.

He is showing that you aren’t a priority to him.

Instead, he is doing various activities to fill up his day on his own time.

When he takes this long to contact you, he is not showing an interest in your well-being.

He has no idea what has happened in your life in the last 5 months.

He never bothered to check in with you.

This is too casual of an attitude when it comes to thinking about you, indicating that there is no sense of urgency.

He believes that he will contact you when he feels like it.

This is not the attitude of someone who wants to be with you on a serious level.

Now, 5 months of no contact doesn’t mean that you will never hear from him again.

Indeed, it isn’t out of the question that you do.

It’s feasible that in the foreseeable future, he becomes newly single and begins to think about people from his past.

He remembers you and wonders about what you have been up to all these months.

Are you single?

When he is thinking this, he isn’t concerned with your well-being, mentally and physically.

He is primarily thinking about his own well-being mentally and physically.

He is newly single and doesn’t like it.

Consequently, he is looking at you as a possible source of relief from his problem.

Thinking in this fashion, only makes you a temporary solution.

After all, he only began to think of you again after he became newly single.

If he was to contact you again and you were to give in, he is inclined to leave the relationship when he has had his fill, and has found someone else to replace you.

Basically, you are a temporary fix.

Unfortunately for you, you gave in and believed that he was back for good.

Now you are left heartbroken and in a much worse emotional state than you were when you first lost contact with him for those 5 months.

This is unfortunately where so many people find themselves when they have been contacted by someone after several months of no contact.

They initially give in, believing that the person cares about them and wants to give a relationship a chance.

The truth is, the person came back for convenience.

This distance in time is indication enough of how this person regards you.

If you keep wondering whether it is over, you are latching onto the hope of the relationship being rekindled, when in fact you should be steering clear of this mindset.

I know it is hard to grapple with the idea that someone can be this uncaring, especially when you care about them.

Nonetheless, be true to yourself and judge people based on how they treat you.

He has shown exactly what he thinks about you and your lack of importance to him.

No matter how badly you want his feelings to be different, you can’t change those feelings by sheer will, on account of you having feelings for him.

Based on his actions, consider whether this is the right time to let this go.
