Sar112 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 You can read my first post here... http://www.loveshack.org/forums/breaking-up-reconciliation-coping/breaks-breaking-up/563284-day-21-no-contact-really-struggling - if you want a basic background to my story. Anyway, the last couple of days I have noticed that my ex keeps reading over old emails I had sent to him (I know this because I use the sidekick feature that allows you to see when an email is opened). One email in particular containing some nice sentiments on my part, he read over 12 times just yesterday - throughout the day and then read it again first thing this morning. Does anyone have any guesses what this might 'mean' or indeed if it means anything? I'm trying not to overthink it too much - we all have bad days where we do this kind of thing (maybe not to that extent). Either way it has made me feel a little better knowing he must be thinking of me occasionally and perhaps hasn't moved on as quickly as I thought he would. I know it's unlikely he's sitting at home regretting his decision, otherwise I'm sure he would have been in touch by now? It's just good to know I haven't been completely forgotten I guess.
Nickr3023 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 For some reason we all want our ex to think about us as often as we think about them...I'm not sure why this is. It also seems that the dumpee is the one that thinks this the most. Best thing would be to stop torturing yourself by looking at stuff like this. Because now you have thoughts in your head wondering what he's thinking. I've caught myself look at my ex's Pinterest and seeing that she posts some kind of quote and my mind instantly starts going wild wondering who that's about. It's an awful feeling to think this way. Like you said, if he wanted you back, he would be trying. In which case, then you have to decide, could you trust someone that's already walked away once when you certainly know they're capable of doing it again. I know I was stupid enough to let a woman back in twice after she left, and I ended up burned even worse when she cheated on me. 1
Author Sar112 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks, I know you're right. You've helped me bring myself back down to earth a bit which I think is a good thing. Even if they were thinking about asking for another chance, I think pride would get in the way anyway so I need to try and forget about it. By the looks of things he isn't finding it too easy anyway, and knowing that is enough for me at this stage.
