Hi everyone, my ex-boyfriend reached out to me after 6 months of no contact. I’m not sure if I should respond or not. What do you do when your ex reaches out after a breakup? Should I let him back into my life, or move on for good?
Oh, sweetie, I’ve totally been there too. That “out of the blue” message after a long silence can really shake things up, right? It’s so disorienting when you thought you’d closed that chapter.
Before you do anything, take a deep breath and give yourself permission to feel whatever you’re feeling – confusion, curiosity, relief, even anger. Don’t rush into a decision. The most important thing is to protect the peace and progress you’ve made these past six months.
Think about why he’s reaching out, but more importantly, think about why you might feel compelled to respond. Is it for curiosity? Closure? Or is it truly a path forward that serves you? You’ve worked hard to move on, and your well-being comes first. Trust your gut.
Hi MixedFeelings, I’ve been there, and I know how that message can send your head spinning. Before you do anything, take a deep breath. Ask yourself: how have you been feeling these past 6 months? Were you healing and moving forward? Your peace is the most important thing right now. You don’t have to decide anything immediately. Give yourself time to think about what you truly want.
