So I’m at 14 days of no contact, but yesterday my ex (we were together 14 months) texted me. He’d seen that there was a shooting in downtown Austin & asked if my family was all ok. I told him yes, thank you, and that was the end of the convo. Friday he liked a post of mine on Facebook.
I started no contact 4 days after our breakup. The only contact we had before then was this stupidly long e-mail I sent him apologizing for my behavior (I was jealous of a friend of his’) and trying to explain to him some things he brought up that I thought he’d misinterpreted. And frankly, trying to convince him that we should stay together. He wrote back a few days later saying he wasn’t ready to respond to my e-mail, sorry, but he didn’t want me to think he never got it. I wrote back that there was no need to respond, that I needed time to move past this, but maybe we could talk later in the summer. He responded a couple of hours later saying that he just didn’t want me to think that HE thought I needed to be apologizing for all the stuff I did in that e-mail, and that talking later this summer sounded good. The next I heard from him was the text yesterday.
I don’t want to keep up hope if there is none: does this behavior sound promising or not? I still have a bunch of his stuff, we still have each others’ keys (when he broke up with me I asked if he wanted me to mail him his stuff & he said no), but maybe he’s just too busy? He has his son in town for another week & I know has been busy. Just asking the board if they think:
- Have I handled my communications with him appropriately?
- What is your take on his contact with me?
Thanks! This has been brutally hard on me.
