It’s been 2 months since I last spoke to my ex. I am not over him and still have feeling for him. I’ve been posting on this site and have gotten a lot of great advice. Today I was startled by a text from him. It stated “I hope you’re doing good, going to your meetings, staying away from shit and getting stronger.” I don’t know how to respond and haven’t. I am praying to God and the Holy Spirit for guidance. I think it’s a just a simple “hope you’re good” and that’s it, I can be thankful for that. I know contacting him right now will only make things harder for me.
It’s so weird how timing is in the world. After I sat and thought about my ex making contact the next night a guy who I play vball with gave me his number. It was weird to me how is transpired. I knew the guy was from an area so I mentioned a good place to go hiking. He took it as an invite, I only meant it as to let him know. Now he wants to go there together. I know I am not ready to date, however wouldn’t mind a friend. How do I be clear about this as I don’t want to give the relationship a title? As far as the ex my gut was to respond via snail mail with a thank you note.
Going hiking isn’t a marriage proposal. If it comes up, or if he’s giving signals like he wants to do something more than you want to, perhaps that would be a good time to put up boundaries. Until then, maybe you could just relax, go hiking, see nature. Let the steps unfold, no need to push or pull at them.
With warmth,
Matt
