Dear Abby, Ann Landers, whoever....
After more than eight months of no contact, the boyfriend I still have trouble calling my "ex" texted me last week out of the blue. I nearly fell over.
Talk about mixed emotions! After thinking hard for a day and a half, I texted back and (stupidly?) agreed to a phone call. In which he asked to meet and explain to me how he was thinking when he broke things off. Apparently he was "messed up" at the time. Really?! Sure hadn't come across that way.
I told him I'm in shock and not about to meet any time soon. I thought of a thousand other things to say but stopped myself and kept calm and made zero decisions. Part of me wants to meet because I still care for him, neither of us is a bad person, and I'm rather curious about what he might say. Another part of me wants to ward him off with the sign of the cross like you would a vampire.
Taking all the time I need to let this settle....
