No Contact, starting over

The No Contact rule failed.  He called and I went rushing for the cell to answer.   He "almost" made plans with me for the weekend, and he said he would call later or I can call him.     It is now Saturday night and I am sitting around alone because I did not want to make any plans so that I would be available.  My excuse was that visiting a friend was not as important as talking to boyfriend about our relationship. 
New Goal.......   NO CONTACT!!!  I do not contact him, and I will not answer when he tries to contact me.   Since I am a bit of a wimp and I am learning these life lessons slowly, I am going to stick with a week of no contact.  Just two days I started to feel a little better by not talking to him, but once we talked, all the hurt just started all over again.      Been together close to 5 years, and never a day of not talking so this is hard.  He needs time to think, and trying to remind myself that I need this also.   
Maybe it will be me that decides first that this relationship needs to end permanently.
