A while ago I posted here about having a lot of problems with my ex. Eventually I broke up with him- the week prior to Thanksgiving last year- and we haven’t spoken directly to each other since, although I suspect he may be able to soon. He’s been able to text me a few times.

He’s dating someone else now, and though I was worried at first it was rebound dating (I don’t consider rebound dating healthy, but it’s a common thing, I know) I soon after decided I would just be happy for him one way or the other. I’m simply happy to see that he’s with someone, especially after he’d told me he doubted he would ever find someone else (I knew he would. He’s too much of a gentleman to not.)

I’m still glad that I broke things off, however sloppily it was done. My health and hopes have been renewed, and I don’t feel the pressure of a relationship on my shoulders anymore. I’m excited for the future again and can look after myself properly while growing from the experience in my own ways. A part of me will always wonder if I tried everything, but it was the best I could do at the time. I have faith that it happened because the Universe was waiting for it to happen- and judging from the guidance I’ve received spiritually, it really was meant to happen. So I’m satisfied, and I’m glad he’s starting to move on.

-Sort of a side story that happened today:

My grandpa passed away a year ago. A few days ago we found a flower on our front lawn, but we had no idea where it had come from or why. Well today I finally checked my messages on something and found messages from my ex that said he hoped I got something he left on the front lawn for my grandpa. He was the one who had put it there. I don’t know why, but realizing what he did just made me really happy. He’s a very good person.

I wish him all the best.
