Hi Cal

I’m sorry to hear about the break up. How are you feeling about it all? Your writing was very much focused on her with not much said about you. Would you like to share a little more about how the break up is affecting you?

It sounds like your ex was very depressed. I can only guess, but maybe she was trying to protect you from that?

Personally, I don’t see the harm in reaching out, only if that is something that doesn’t harm you. But I wouldn’t expect things to change. If you want to be there as a friend, for someone who is very depressed and she is also open to that, it might be worth reaching out. It is understandable if either of you are not able to do that though.
