Contacted exh. I know I’m a twit

I did an idiotic thing - messaged exh asking for a meet up. Neither of us has had a relationship since separating/divorce 9 years ago. We are both quite shy people, so unsurprising. I have made a seemingly good life for myself in the time since separating. Good job, friends, social activities, financially secure. But it’s a grind. In real terms difficult to really move on.

I guess I’m posting as a confession, rightly saying I’m on a highway to nothing. There was a reason we divorced. It’s too easy to imagine the possibility of recapturing what first brought us together. I doubt he will respond, and this is the reason our marriage ended - poor communication between us both.

Just to add we have two adult children, so there will always be that link.

I know the only thing to do is pick myself up, dust myself off, and get back in the horse and count blessings.

It’s helped to post. Thank you.

You know what you did was daft, though I don't think I saw context in your OP

Blame wine. I do. For everything.

You learned a lesson. Chin up, tits out.

You always have the option to cancel. Think it through before deciding what you want.

@WeeOrcadian great, down to earth response. Thank you. The world won’t tilt on its axis. Buck up. Move on. 😉

It’s like being on a diet, I’ve been really good - focussed, committed to being my best self, and I’ve simply fallen off the wagon.

The diet analogy is apt - doing the right thing can be so intense.
