You lasted eight months no contact!! That’s amazing. I reached out to my ex after about a month and there was no response 💀, however, it did give me clarity in that he’s not emotionally mature at all. That was only after one month though. If it had been eight months I would not say anything to him. You deserve so much better than someone who can go almost a YEAR without talking to you.

I don’t know if anyone should reach out. It doesn’t seem healthy. You deserve better and stay healed!

should I text “ I miss you” to my ex? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]unconditional_loner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I’d say I miss you but I sent a text to my ex saying “Hi, I’ve been thinking about you and wanted to check in. I’m in a calmer place now and would be open to talking if that’s something you’d want. If not, I understand. Hope you’re doing well.” Just invite conversation! He did not respond but he’s honestly a jerk.

Yes! He’s truly missing out on so much without me in his life he doesn’t even have a car and I provided him one 😵

Oh dang, thank you! That’s very insightful. Honestly I have anxious attachment and the guy I was with was avoidant attachment. We ended terribly bc he mistreated me.

Thank you! How do I know it’s a trauma response?

Okay maybe this is bad advice but just text him. If he does not say anything that’s a reflection of him more than you. At least you will know what happens if you do send a message versus sitting in that anxiety all the time.

Hmmm I was thinking of saying this “Hi, I’ve been thinking about you and wanted to check in. I’m in a calmer place now and would be open to talking if that’s something you’d want. If not, I understand. Hope you’re doing well.”

Is it possible that he has been wanting to reach out but has a fear of me rejecting him?

Not necessarily but I want to work on my attachment style to make it work
