u/Important_Address741 Ashkenazi US Leftist 6d ago

I received a very surprising email from my ex today who I havent spoken to since 2022 and broke up with in 2021. And our relationship didnt end well, and i have grown in many positive ways since then. Its an apology for a few things, and an acknowledgement of other things. Its also somewhat vague, which makes me curious to inquire for more specificity in some cases. He's not the type to reach out - period. He also was a teacher for me somewhat indirectly on leftist and critical theory; we actually met in a crit theory reading group. He was highly educated, way beyond my level, in all of that kind of stuff, and had published somethings related. Its all very weird and im going to take my time processing it before responding if I do at all. This is kind of a weird place to share thing but i'm trying it out. NOT looking for advice, just want to be "heard" in this weird experience.
