I decided the sensible thing was to leave the past in the past :)

I'd definatly would go! why not its nice that shes trying to keep in touch after everything. Its nice when you guys can still be civil with eachother.

You know what, i emailed her and she never got back to me. So i decided that chasing was the last thing i wanted to do. I'll be ****ed if i'm going to go back to where i was a year ago. So "No" to both those.

Good work bro. It's amazing how these ex's try to get in touch from time to time. Mine contacts me sometimes, but when I reply, I usually get no reply back. So I just decided to ignore her. It's best to leave them in the past, that's where they belong.

 

@ Beautiful inside: The most civil things ex's can do is leave each other alone. I see no point in talking to an ex, if she was the dumper. Why would I? I owe her nothing, I took my time to heal, it wasn't easy but it paid off - I'm over her and I don't want to see her ever again. Emotional interdependence is the stupidest thing ever.

People really need to learn to be less clingy.

I just want to make a comment on the "being friends with exs thing". I dated a guy for about 7 years on and off. We had a really bumpy relationship for the entire time, but we were madly in love (sick, toxic, addictive relationship). We FINALLY broke up for good and let me tell you...devastated does not even come close to the feeling that I had. I did not think that I would ever get out of bed again. Needless to say, about a year later we ran into each other at a gas station. We talked for a little while and both went on our way. It was strange because I didn't feel any old pang and was actually happy that I had run into him and that he was doing well. That led to a few random phone calls here and there and now, about 4 years later we are very close friends. We have lunch together about 4 times a month and talk on the phone weekly. He is married and has two small kids and I - as you know - am going through a divorce. He has been a great sounding board through this whole divorce thing. We are now very supportive of each other and I can honestly say that my life is better for having him in it. There are no sexual undertones and there is no flirting or carrying on. We don't ever talk about the relationship, we are really just very good friends. So it can happen and it can be healthy.

depends how it ends etc. nice that you can be civil though thats a nice story

I think that is depends more on the work that you do on yourself during the time you are apart. Our breakup was really bad and terribly emotional, but because I really took the time to heal and learn from it, I think by the time I saw him a year later I was a better person.

I have found myself thinking maybe I should email again, but then I snap myself out of it and think “what am I thinking”! In a really good place at the moment, and the more I think about it even if she did get back in touch and we did meet up it really would be a bad idea. For all I know I’m over it now I think it would be very easy to fall back into the whole situation if I wasn’t careful. Out of sight , out of mind.

We're in roughly the same spot. I've been tempted to contact my ex, since it's been months, but then I realize I don't want to go back to the spot I was in last year.
