Quick update — I texted my ex this morning to say hi and wish her a nice day. She responded in kind to me, so I asked her for coffee. She agreed and we’ll get together this weekend. Whatever happens, I will be good with it. Thank you again.

Anita,

Thank you for your response. That’s an interesting perspective, and one I hadn’t considered. I’m also confused by her comment that she failed to understand me. I’m reluctant to start with something so “heavy,” particularly by text. I feel her text may have been testing the waters for a reconciliation, and since I haven’t heard from her for almost a week, perhaps she was just apologizing and nothing more. I was hoping she’d contact me again, but maybe I should just send a “hi, it was nice to hear from you” text and see what happens. If she’s receptive we could hopefully meet to talk sometime soon. I’m just unsure how best to proceed.

Thanks again.
