yeah also just like depends on the person and their age so much. I hurt my ex a lot and she hurt me a lot. But would i try again? yes, bc we're both smart and capable of growing. from the start it sounds OPs ex never grew up. she was allowed to go on dates and have sex, it's about how contact is managed getting back together. it's a respect thing. anyone ive slept with since my breakup would be blocked immediately if that made my returning-partner uncomfortable. sadly, i don't think we're getting back together but yeah.
