I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I think part of what’s been hard for me is admitting that our connection still means a lot to me. I genuinely enjoy talking to you, and honestly this is probably the closest we’ve felt in a long time. That’s what makes this difficult.

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, and I don’t think either of us are bad people. I know you care about me, and I care about you deeply too. But I’m starting to realize I may not know how to exist in this emotionally close space while also knowing your heart and future are somewhere else romantically.

I think I kept hoping I could eventually adjust to being “just friends,” but I’m not sure I’m built for that with you. Not because I want to control your life or because I’m angry, but because this connection still affects me like more than friendship.

I’ll always root for you. I truly want you happy. I just think I may need more distance than I originally thought in order to actually heal and move forward in a healthy way.

You’ve meant too much to me for me to turn this into resentment, and I don’t want either of us carrying guilt for simply caring about each other.

So my ex and I broke up 7 months ago. She moved on fairly quickly and I would be lying if I said that didn’t hurt. But recently we’ve started connecting more. We text nearly every day. Bir in the weekends she goes to her boyfriends and it’s radio silent. But it’s starting to get to me. I drafted a letter to send but I’m scared to send it. It’s below.
