No Contact & Getting Your Ex Back Test: What It Measures and How to Read It

After a breakup, the question 'can I get my ex back?' is one of the most frequent and most painful. This 30-question test does not give you a binary answer; it helps you objectively analyse four essential dimensions: your deeper motivations (why do you really want to go back?), the real quality of your former relationship (beyond nostalgia), your current emotional state (are you in a position to make a good decision?) and the signals you observe in your ex. The results will give you a clear-eyed view of your situation so you can make the healthiest decision for you.

In the article that follows, I explore communication within the couple. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a couple communication test that helps you take stock of your communication patterns as a couple. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. Worth knowing: I also offer ScanMyLove, a tool that analyses couple conversations from a simple export, to better understand a relationship's dynamic.

What the test measures

• An analysis of your real reasons for wanting to go back: genuine love, fear of loneliness, habit or a need for validation.
• An objective assessment of what your relationship actually offered: mutual respect, communication, fulfilment or dysfunction.
• Your capacity to make a clear-headed decision: are you guided by reason or overwhelmed by emotion?
• An assessment of the signs you perceive in your ex-partner: openness to dialogue, distance, ambiguity or definitive closure.

How to interpret your score

The result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Relatively favourable situation: The overall analysis suggests relatively healthy foundations: authentic motivations, a good-quality former relationship, emotional stability and signals that are not unfavourable. Reconciliation could be conceivable if both parties want it.
• Uncertain situation: Some elements are encouraging but others call for caution. The situation deserves time and reflection before any action.
• Unfavourable situation: Several factors indicate that winning your ex back would be difficult and/or not desirable at present: motivations to clarify, a problematic relationship, a fragile emotional state or unfavourable signals from your ex.
• Very unfavourable situation: The overall analysis indicates that trying to get your ex back is not recommended at present. Your emotional state, your motivations and/or your ex's signals all converge on the need to let go.

What your full report contains

The detailed PDF report (from EUR 4.99) includes:

• Introduction: This report analyses your post-breakup situation across four essential dimensions. The aim is not to give you a binary answer, but to offer you a clear-eyed view so you can make the healthiest decision for you.
• Overall Score: Your overall score reflects how favourable an attempt at reconciliation would be. A low score indicates a more favourable situation; a high score suggests it would be better to focus on your own healing.
• Dimension-by-Dimension Analysis: Each dimension sheds light on a different aspect of your situation. The detailed analysis helps you understand which factors work in your favour and which call for caution.
• Recommendations: Four steps in the No Contact + informed reconciliation protocol: (1) Strict No Contact for 30-90 days — zero messages, zero social media, zero intermediaries. This period is not manipulation; it is a neurochemical necessity to regulate the attachment systems. (2) Honest introspective work — what made the relationship fail? What is your share of responsibility? Which schemas did you activate (Young)? Recommended reading: "Attached" by Amir Levine. (3) Personal rebuilding — invest in yourself (sport, projects, friendships, therapy if deep schemas are involved). The goal is not to "make the other person jealous" but to become inwardly attractive again. (4) Clear-eyed assessment before any return — can the relationship really restart on better foundations? Or do you want them back to relieve your own pain? If you decide to write: a short message, without pressure, without excessive nostalgia. If the relationship was toxic (manipulation, violence, gaslighting), going back is dangerous — 3919 (domestic violence helpline, anonymous, France) — or a local helpline via findahelpline.com — can help you clarify.
• Resources: The "no contact" process and the psychology of romantic breakups are documented in affective neuroscience and clinical psychology. Reference work: Helen Fisher (anthropologist, neuroimaging of love and breakups), Arthur Aron (intimacy and passion), Bowlby (attachment and loss), William Bridges ("Transitions"), David Sbarra (breakups and health). Neurological studies: Fisher 2010 (post-breakup brain activation mimics that of addiction), Eisenberger 2011 (the pain of rejection activates the same areas as physical pain). Books: "Getting Past Your Breakup" (Susan Elliot), "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken" (Greg Behrendt), "Why Men Love Bitches" (Sherry Argov, on the dynamics of desire). The "no contact" concept: a minimum period of 30-90 days without any contact to allow neurochemical regulation (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin) and introspection.

The first 5 questions are free; the full, personalised report (your precise score, your profile by dimension, your recommendations) is paid.
