Ex contacted me

After I established NC after she broke up with me. she immediately texted me that this could suck or could work out like we hope (she hopes the time apart brings us back together or atleast thats what she said) I responded nicely. The next night she texted me that missed me and wanted one last night to hang out and talk to remember “the good times” I stupidly went over. Havent talked since that was two weeks ago.

This morning I wake up to a text from her. “My sister said you congratulated her on her on her show - That was really sweet of you”

Do I respond?

Dude,

Don’t respond to her! If you respond, the motivation behind NC is killed! If she insists, then you tell her that you need more time and space to deal with the breakup.

If you reply to her now, she’ll probably contact you after a month on something and then after two months till she is really moved on.
