To send a message to my ex

Me and my ex broke up 5 years ago, we have both moved on and had children etc.

However I feel I ended it badly, I moved back in with my dad and started seeing someone very quickly (now DD's father).

I saw my ex's mum in town yesterday then had a vivid dream about him.

Now I'm wanting to send a message just wishing him well and I'm sorry for leaving the way I did etc. he's engaged now with a baby and I'm not sure if it would be unfair of me.

You’d only be doing it to appease your own guilt therefore it IS selfish and yes somewhat arrogant to assume he’d want your apology. Play it forward, you apologise and then what? He graciously accepts and eases your guilt and shame for treating him badly? The reality is he has successfully moved on and is doing just fine.

@bexxboo

And for the people calling me arrogant and selfish, fuck you.

I shouldn't be shot down for sharing my thoughts.

I haven't DONE anything I was simply asking.

WOW Don't ask a question unless you're prepared to hear the answer.

Ah you sound nice, I bet he’d be so pleased to hear from you Smile

Far too long just leave it. He’s probably moved on. Seeing his mum has probably triggered you to think of him.
