Should I text my ex after a year?
This is someone who gave me false hope, was with me while already being with someone else, and I had absolutely no idea. When I found out, I confronted the girl because I believed she deserved to know too. She still chose to stay, and somehow, I ended up looking like the fool in the story. And later on got attacked(verbally) by the guy for letting his NEW girl know about the cheating part(btw met his family several times).
But the truth is, I lost so much of myself this past year. Anxiety on random days, random triggers, losing my appetite, losing peace, and trying so hard to feel normal again. I’m healing, I really am, but some days still feel heavier than others.
Maybe I sound weak for still feeling affected, but I think as a human being, I have the right to let someone know how deeply their choices affected another person. Cheating and dishonesty are choices, and sometimes people move on without realizing the damage they leave behind.
And maybe this sounds silly, but a part of me wants to text him not because I want him back, not to fight... but just to let him know how one careless choice, one selfish decision, can completely shake someone’s world and leave them carrying pain for much longer than he may ever realize.
So genuinely asking: should I even be texting this person again?
