AITA for not reaching out to my Ex after losing her mom.
To my beloved Comfort level podcast family, I (27M) was in a relationship with a (24F) for over 2 years. We were in a long distance relationship as i moved to Europe for studies. So background of the story, i knew this girl before we started dating as we were good friends. We lost contact a as i moved from our home country to further my studies, she also left for another country. We later started dating and the relationship was good ngl not sure if it was because we barely saw each other, only video calls kept us closer.
She later moved back to our home country after she got a job in her home town early this year, where she met my cousin and they got along very well. She did not know that i was cousins with this guy and unfortunately they started dating. With this cousin we were close, as we went at the same Uni and stayed under the same roof at some time, we were bros to sum it up. Later on she found out that i was a mutual friend of her current bf ( my cousin) on social media. She panicked started asking me qns about him which sounded weird and i asked my cousin which he denied having a relationship with her.
She then lost her mom of which i was there for her as i thought, so as my cousin. She was devastated and tried to be there for her as her bf. Later on she told me she wanted space as she was struggling to admit the death of her mom, stating that she was falling into depression. As some who has been into depression after moving to Europe i tried by all means to stand with her despite the distance. She later then admitted that she was dating my cousin and cant continue with our relationship.
Honestly i was hurt by that, dont know why people cant just call it quits when they find better options so to say. She blamed the distance for the breakup although we both assured each other about this over and over. After she told me this i deleted her contact and unfollowed her on all socials. I know how my cousin is unless if he has changed dont think their relationship will last as he only dates for pleasure. I couldnt tell her about this maybe i might be wrong, they are meant for each other.
Deep down i want to reach out to see how she is but part of me is saying No. Even my friends say so as well. I tell myself that i dont see her the way i used to, i just want to reach out as a friend. WIBTA for not reaching out?
