I have been getting mixed signals but I am at the point where it has been 6 weeks and my broken heart is slowly starting to heal...I can start to see (although still fuzzy!) a life without him. I have finally managed to convince myself that I deserve better. I've been trying no contact but every now and again there will be a slip up. Our little contact used to be negative but now it is all positive. Mostly because I no longer question his decision to end it...I have accepted it. Since that point I make sure that every time we are in contact I am positive and I have changed the way that I deal with him.

 

Then this morning I get a text that says I hope you are having a great day. I was surprised to say the least and thought he meant to text that to somebody else since he used to text that to me everyday at the same time when we were together. He broke up with me 6 weeks ago. That text was followed by another that said he was sorry and it was inappropriate to text that.

 

What do you think? I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing...

It's neither. They always reach out at some point. Guilt, ego boost.....who knows.

 

I recommend you block his number - although I know most of us (self included) usually don't/didn't.

 

Hopefully you didn't respond though.

It depends on your perspective. It's only been six weeks since the break-up, so the feelings are still pretty dang fresh. You probably still have that hope of getting back together, and you may feel conflicted because you see this as an indication that he's not over you. You want to get over him, but maybe in the back of your mind...you hope that he'll change his mind, and you'll learn to love each other again. Since it's only been 6 weeks, I'm guessing that he is probably still is recovering from everything as well. I think that what it all comes down to is that some people send the message, and some people don't. I've wrote many e-mails to my ex-girlfriend, but I never sent them. It all depends on how you feel that day and many other factors. You have your good days and you have your bad days and sometimes people make mistakes. Was it intentional or accidental? He might've had intention on writing the text, but it might've been accidental that he sent it to you. Whatever happened that day might've pushed him over that ledge to hit the send button. When it comes to breaking up, both people are breaking out of a certain habit and sometimes we may screw up. Don't take the text personally. If you haven't responded, don't. If you have, acknowledge his mistake and forgive him. And that's it.
