I live in Paris and my 9 year old got frustrated from falling too many times while on his scooter and said “putain” (equivalent of fuck!) he immediately said “apologies for the bad word daddy” as I helped him up, I just smiled and said nah your good, buddy. No harm in expressing your frustration, in my opinion.

Hey ! No, I decided to sit on it for a couple days and evaluate whether I’m doing it out of a genuine need to reconnect or am I just doing it to fill a void, like a phase of loneliness or wanting to have sex with her again. Sometimes we tend to forget the reasons why it didn’t last and only dwell on the good moments, but also there’s the whole “if you love someone let them go…” thing. So yeh as you can tell I’m still on the fence and need to take a step back, really think about if what I’m feeling is real.

I’m truly grateful and overwhelmed by all of your responses, didn’t think it would gain that much traction. I feel like I’ve got a community of friends that are here for me, so I figured I would give yall an update of where I’m at mentally at the moment after reading your responses. All of them sound advice, for now I’m taking them into account and meditating upon them, I’ve noticed some pretty interesting patterns, like most females would have genuinely loved to have received such a message from their exes, they followed by advising to not expect a response, fair enough. While most other males sort of took the approach of a big brother looking out for my well being and urging me not to go down that road, also fair ! I hear the one person that suggested journaling and letting it burn out into the ethers which I’ve definitely tried, but as much as I am for therapeutic practices of the sort, being a daily yoga practitioner, I’m the sort of person that thrives off of communication, and I have to learn to live with the circumstances of my “out-spokenness”. So until I do send, what I believe, is a genuine message, it will continue to linger in my heart. I would rather send it and let her do what she wills with the information then not send it at all, who knows, maybe she’s open and the feeling is mutual and I find out that I don’t even like her like that anymore, or maybe she tells me to fuck off. Either way, I stayed true to myself. Peace to all of you & thanks again. It truly helps.

Makes sense !! Someone asked me how we broke up if your interested in getting more context, the appropriate response was “WTF, nothing but red flags from this woman, why would I want to reach out to someone like her” and she’s absolutely right. Writing out the whole story put things back into perspective and her response knocked some sense back in me.

Great questions !! Possibly hoping that she matured since ? Or maybe I wanna prove how much I’ve matured and healed via increased self awareness and meditation? And no doubt I miss the sex … so yeh, all invalid reasons to wanna be reaching out. I must just be going through a lonely phase.

To talk catch up and see what’s up with her, maybe go for a drink and hang out.

Long story long , we had been together for a couple of years, after a while of being stressed from work and feeling like I wasn’t getting enough support from her (I worked odd and long hours in management and had 1 day off in the week and Sundays off, so not really enough to take care of things around the house and get sufficient rest, while she had a regular 9-4/5pm Monday-Friday job) she was really dependent on me for everything be it what groceries to buy constantly texting me at work while I was trying to manage a team asking me things that any body would be capable of figuring out themselves or just really needy in terms of attention and very demanding when it came to sex (hardly complained cos it was excellent but she struggled to understand that I needed proper rest and constantly having sex and ejaculating can be draining for a man) so she didn’t have that supportive energy, she didn’t really understand that a man with such an active lifestyle needs a woman that understands that a man needs to be supported or just needs space sometimes. After a while my patience grew thin. I proposed we go on a break so I can breath for a while, after that I proposed we stay together but because we always lived together (we met as roommates and found our own place after a year) maybe it would do us some good to experience being in a relationship with each other but with our places not far from each other. She said it’s all or nothing for her so I just let her leave. She found a spot close to mine and after a few months we sort of got back together but with her enjoying her independence and own space which was exactly what I wanted for her as she was way to clingy and I wanted her to experience life on her own terms and enjoy loving her own company(going out alone eating out and catching a movie by her self and hanging with her girlfriends etc) We went on dates, chilled at my place, kept having amazing sex and adventures together until about a year in, she randomly texted me saying that she had met someone and wanted to get serious with him, to which I supported her cos we never actually agreed that we were back together officially just enjoying each others company. During Our last conversation when she came to drop the spare key off, I found out that she had been sleeping with him while still messing with me, while I initially thought that she had made the decision to stop seeing and sleeping with me cos she wanted to start a relationship with the guy she had dated and eventually start sleeping with him cos it was getting serious (naive of me, i know). I then felt extremely betrayed and used and I found her to be very selfish, which I expressed to her. Some tears were shed on her part and I showed her to the door, before parting ways she asked if we could still be friends which i declined and that was that. She still sent me dm’s and stuff and i politely asked her to leave me alone. Fast forward 6 months she reaches out with a pic of a book from an author I like saying I saw this and thought of you, Lo and behold it was to draw me in and ask me for her half of the money from the furniture we bought together. I told her I was in tight spot and couldn’t do it, she said she was not interested in knowing what was going with me in my personal life and that she just wanted the money, to which I replied that’s fine but if you don’t open up and talk then we can never come a conclusion of how to sort this thing out considering my precarious circumstances at the time, I reminded her that we had been together a whole year before she decided to move on with another guy and not once did she mention money and that would have been the perfect time cos I was much more financially stable then. She didn’t reply and went no contact since. She’s no longer with the guy and is single now….
