For those of you whose ex never came back, what do you think ultimately made them decide not to? Looking back, do you think it was because they genuinely moved on, met someone else, lost feelings, pride, fear, or something else entirely?
I'm curious what other people think.
My ex and I have been broken up for a little over a year, and I hadn't heard from him at all until today. Out of the blue, he texted asking if he could call me.
I haven't responded yet. Part of me was happy to hear from him, but another part feels like it's been too long.
Would you ever consider getting back with an ex after a year of no contact?
For those who were never contacted by an ex again, why do you think that was?
I always hear people say, "Exes always come back," and in my own experience, many eventually do—even if it's just a random check-in or to end things on more cordial terms. Sometimes people even become friends.
So I'm curious: if your ex never reached out again and essentially became a complete stranger, what do you think the reason was? Do you think they truly moved on, felt too guilty or embarrassed, didn't care anymore, or was it something else?
