An ex from a long time ago randomly got in touch the other day and wants to catch up. But is it only ever just a catch up with an ex?
We were in a long term relationship in our early 20s, he was my first love and we remained friends for a number of years. There were occasions when I wanted to get back together, but he didn't, although he did fish from time to time. He wasn't up for anything serious and that is still proven by the fact that he is still the only bachelor among his wide circle of friends. I was deeply in love with him at the time and we were mostly a great fit, but we did rub each other up the wrong way a lot of the time! Things got messy as a result of a FWB situation, but I had lost feelings for him by then. We stayed friends for a short while, then lost contact.
We haven't spoken in 6 years or so - he stopped talking to me, despite my repeated attempts at contact, and I think it's probably because he went into a relationship. I presume he's come out of a relationship recently - his social media channels are full of pictures of him going out, on holiday etc. It's appears to be classic post break up behaviour (again, just speculation). I am thinking maybe, as a result, he is reminiscing about his past and thought of me. Why else would he randomly get in touch after all these years?
I have grown so much since we stopped talking, he won't know the person I am now. I have only his msgs and social media profiles to go on, but he seems exactly the same!
Not sure why I am sharing this here! I wouldn't mind being friends. My mum and close friends always thought we'd end up together. But I think I've outgrown him. And he seems to still be enjoying his bachelor life!
