I would like to gain some insight for my current situation.

Background: this ex and I broke up almost 2 years ago. It was not a very peaceful breakup and we had stopped any kinds of communication completely.

Recently he resurfaced after 18 months of silence.

He first resurface was to respond to a text message I sent a long time ago. I have already moved on and so when he reached out, it didn’t really bother me but I felt the chat wasn’t going anywhere so I texted him I moved overseas and stopped responding.

A month later, earlier this week, I received another text from him. This time the text is really long and sentimental. He said he missed me every day and was glad that I was happy. He said our breakup had completely broken his heart. And he hadn’t moved on yet. He kept emphasizing that our breakup was based on the fact that he wanted me to be happy.

I am really confused here (well, not that confused since my life has totally changed since we were last together.) I now have my own life and social circle, and I have been dating and meeting different people.

However, it’s sour for me to read that message. I felt bad for him, or even started thinking maybe I should give us another chance. I still care about him deeply. He didn’t make any moves besides the text though. He was assuming I already left the country.

I think my point here is: his message kinda pulled me back, not to the square one, but to a thought that maybe I should try working things out again with him. I really loved this person.

But on the other hand, I just started seeing a wonderful guy. It’s not a match in the heaven, however things have been effortless with him.

I know I am the only one who can make the decision, so I would like to have a third-party input on this.

Thanks!
