Me and my ex partner from a few years back have decided to give it another go. We both have had different partners (I was engaged for a year) and both felt like there was something missing.
He initiated getting back together, kept asking to talk to me and explain that he had been to therapy and address his self destructive behaviors. I took it very slowly, asking for clarification on quite a lot of things, which he provided.
It’s been a few months now and I recently agreed to give it another go (after twice weekly meet ups/discussions and apologies from him). We have texted less this time round, as we’re both busier and more mature, but speak once a day.
He is away on a camping trip this weekend. He left on Thursday. I text him on Wednesday evening (replies to his texts and saying have a good time!). No reply, and still no reply.
I just feel very deflated. I don’t expect him to text me whilst he’s away, but he did have all evening Wednesday and Thursday day to say something like “thanks, won’t be able to text much but will speak to you when I’m back!”.
It hurts even more because he has done this sudden stopping of communication before, and we didn’t speak for months after that. So I’m left wondering - has he changed his mind about us? Have I said something wrong? Am I totally overreacting?? He did say that these camping trips were “raucous” and last time his best friend cheated on his long term girlfriend.
I’m 100% not a clingy or anxious person usually. Me and ex fiancé spoke every few days and it suited me fine as I worked away.
i just feel like shit. Not upset, just almost resigned to the fact that nothing has changed and maybe we made a mistake
