Let's say there was someone in your life which had put you through complete agony. Through time you got somewhat over it. Enough to at least feel relatively normal. This wasn't the end of a 3 month 'we dated'....this would be your long term relationship with 'love and promises'.
MONTHS LATER....this person gets in touch with you, trying to start up a dialogue.
Do you at least respond with a 'hi' but no thanks?
Do you talk to them to try to settle as past 'no closure'? (putting it mildly)
Do you entertain the idea of trying one more time?
Do you tell them to kiss your A$$?
Do you keep up your NO CONTACT rule you started early on and have managed to follow for months and don't respond in any way?
I always advocate the last one. I don't do go-backs. I don't forgive and forget. Even when a 'Welcome home...I'm glad you didn't get shot in the war'...would be appropriate.
Think about the person who most impacted your love life and how you would respond if they contacted you today. Let's say email.
(meanon...empty PM box...grab beer and brown paper bag for my hyperventalating.....hahahaha!)
