Perplexed81 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Well LS'rs, its been a while since i've posted. Last night went out with some buddies and got very drunk. When I got in my car to leave, pulled out the old phone and texted the EX. Been 8 months since last contact by text and september 13th will be a year since i've seen her. I was drunk and just did it to see what would happen really. I've moved on, don't miss her like I used to....would I take her back? yea I'd give it another shot but like I said, have moved on and don't think about it anymore, just a huge lapse in judgement. I didn't get a text back obviously. So question is for you women on here, if the situation was yours and you got this text: Me: I'm out with friends, been a while since we've talked, just wanted to let you know I miss you. If your with someone, I apologize and am happy for you, I just didn't want to move without letting you know this. What would you think? do? say? wonder? respond? not respond? Btw, i'm moving about an hour away.
PegNosePete Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Who cares about the text? You should not be driving when you are drunk. That is much more worrying and extremely dangerous to other road users.
PegNosePete Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Ah okie dokie, you said you went to your car to leave. That normally means driving If you've moved on and don't think about her any more, why do you care what she thinks of your drunken text? OK well you texted the ex, got no response, and it made you feel bad. This is quite normal. Just forget about it, and delete her number, so it doesn't happen again!
lymtal1 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 P81, You say that you have moved on but I am wondering by the things you said if you really have. I know that alcohol makes us do strange things so that may have been part of the reason for what you did. What gives you the feeling that you have moved on? I would be curious as you say that you would give it another shot if it was still an option. Why would you be willing to give it another go? Not sure about your story but seems like being eight months or so if you have moved on you might not be thinking that way. Certainly in no position to question your motives, more curious about your timeline and what might be going on in your head. The drinks always have an effect on things we think and do and I wonder had you ever felt that way stoned sober. Me I am three months out and believe me after a few rounds I am exactly where you were the other day. I think what stops me is knowing that I will get no reply. I hope you do as I am curious what comes back and since you sent it I think you must have wanted to reach out for some time just have not done so.
M2155 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 That doesn't sound like a "drunken" text. If I received it, I would think hmm...he still has my number, still remembers me and maybe feels a twinge of guilt or loss. I probably wouldn't reply though, especially if said message came at 3am. If I did, depending on what kinda mood I'm in I would just say "take care" or something as it does not warrant much of a response.
Author Perplexed81 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks for the replies. What I mean as in i've moved, I mean, I wake up in the morning normal, have my breakfast, go to work as any normal person would. The alcohol made me catch a small case of nostalgia and I thought of her. I mean i know she's a scorpio and most scorpio women are tough as nails, but in the 1 year since the breakup, I just can't understand how she's not slipped up once, I mean not once, no text, email, smoke signal, how in the world can a woman be that strong to just not contact at all. Every single one of exes slipped up, I ended up hearing from them. A day later, a month later and 1 even up to 6 months later.
M2155 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I don't know but now I'm definitely inspired now not to slip up
Arikel Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Yep, sometimes, even though I know the outcome is bound to hurt me, I'm still tempted to text the ex. I don't really know why. Masochistic?

I do not think you are as over her as you say you are. 3 reasons, you are giving us reasons why you say you are over her, you are waiting for her to slip up like the rest of your ex's, and last but not least, your actual text that almost looks desperate. Give yourself some more time. Watch the partying and drinking. Go out with other girls and find someone that will text you back when you text them =)
coolheadal Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Drinking just doesn't help, just hurt your insides. These ex don't even care if you drink yourself down.
