broke no contact

dumpee here whose ex broke up with him in october (started nc in november)

after a rough first 6 weeks of nc i’ve been able to really build myself back up. feels like things are just as good, if not better than how they were during the relationship.

end of last week i met a new work colleague who had so many life stories and background that reminded me of her (same hometown, college, heck even their MLB team was playing on the restaurant tv during this convo) - naturally w all these reminders i decided to text her and let her know this convo reminded me of her, & that i hoped she was doing well.

she thanked me for texting her and wished me well too, thought it was sweet. we briefly exchanged weekend plans but after that i let the conversation end, breaking my old patterns of following up or initiating for more.

i know i can’t jump to conclusions for anything, but i guess it was really comforting to know we can at least engage and be warm to each other- i don’t even know if i want her back anymore but i do miss my best friend, and hope we can reconnect in a healthy way again
