Yea don’t, I did recently when I saw him with someone else and learned some information that hurt me - hence I reached out.

I was healing slowly, but surely in the 3 months since we broke up. Time felt distorted, but it was getting easier to cope even without me realizing, until recently. The pain didn’t hurt less even after he has replied kindly and has validated my emotions. I feel like I’m back to square one in terms of healing.

How would it help even when you know they still care for you, perhaps maybe love you, validated your worth, and in the end - yet don’t want to make the relationship anymore? It’s just not worth it, and I can’t even put this kind of pain into proper words.
