Split up with my ex over two years ago. We got on great but he wanted a family and I already had two so we reluctantly said goodbye. He got in tow with someone almost immediately (probably met her when we were still together) and promptly had two children in very quick succession.
Once I knew he was with someone I went no contact because I was still a bit in love with him and needed to move on for my own sake.
The other day I was flicking through my phone with no specific purpose and saw a blocked message which read - how are you, would love to catch up. I do genuinely miss talking to you. I heard a word you use a lot on the radio and it made me think of you. I hope you are well. I don't know why the message came through because he was blocked.
I know this is terribly immature to even be debating this but would someone who is really happy in their new relationship write this? Does he just genuinely want to be friends? I am feeling all unsettled and it has set me back. Do I just ignore or message him a friendly reply saying I don't think I can be friends as it is not in my best interest. I have done over two years no contact and am scared to break this.
