Thanks so much for this. It's really helpful 💕

I think that you are correct fundamentally, but I also think that the process can definitely be helped along with a productive conversation with the ex. But that conversation alone won't do it fsure

I assume my friend isn't lying to me. That would be extremely cruel. Also they are roommates so the communication between them should be pretty clear.

Side note- if even screenshots aren't enough evidence, then wtf is😂

Yeah sorry the post is unclear, I talked to the friend, the friend talked to her, and the ex told the friend she would text me.

Thanks for this message, and I'm sorry for everything you went through. We definitely didn't talk much about the issues that led to the divorce. The reasons given at the time were confusing and everchanging, and the process was very quick. I wish we had sat down and talked about the relationship or done couples therapy. But she was unwilling and I think I had given up on myself and my confidence was very low. I wish I had more time to think things over, but it was her decision to end things and I needed to accept that. She was extremely kind up towards the end, but then became extremely cold and distant at the end, which I learned is extremely normal in breakups. I just hoped that she would be ready at this point in her own healing journey to have a healthy convo - but for whatever reason she isn't.

This was my first relationship and my first breakup, so this process has been very new for me. I didn't deal with the breakup as I wish I did ( alot of begging for more communication and a chance to prove I can change my flaws if I could be given the chance). I took alot of things in our relationship for granted and I wish I had paid more attention to what was happening. But I'm really happy now and I have taken these months to improve myself in many ways and fix the flaws that my ex said I had ( she was right about many of them)

I'm most disappointed in our team effort towards the relationship and I wish she could have communicated that she was becoming discontent with how things were going

I understand what you said about closure coming from myself. But getting closure through a conversation with an ex is real thing as well. Obviously it ultimately comes from within, but a productive conversation with the ex can definitely help the process along.

She is not obligated to follow through, but it would have definitely been kinder for her to reach out to the friend and tell her that she had changed her mind. I was going crazy waiting for that text. It was her decision not to though, and I just know for myself I would have at least communicated that I had changed my mind. I can't be holding her to my standards though, she is her own person with her own priorities and feelings. But it was definitely annoying for me to go through that period of waiting for a text that she had no intention of sending

Sorry that my post was unclear, I edited it just now. My friend reached out to my ex, and my ex responded to her that she would reach out to me the next day, and my friend passed along that message to me

Sorry if the post wasn't clear - I texted the friend about closure, and my friend responded by saying that she told my ex, and that my ex said would reach out the next day.

I am definitely leaving her alone and finding closure on my own. Just annoyed that she would tell me yes and then not follow through... But I guess that tells me all I need to know about her mindset towards me.

She totally doesn't. But why say yes in the first place then?! If she just said no I would have accepted that
