I really thought she'd reach out on Easter
She ended our 5 year relationship in January somewhat suddenly as she said we are too different and should date others. Of course, I think she had begun to get emotionally connected with someone. We were best friends but if I am honest with myself I felt her pushing me away for awhile. Even when we were trying to figure things out that friendship was still really good then she suddenly became cold and emotionless towards me.
Then as we were winding down some financial matters a few weeks ago, her last texts were somewhat cordial. I would like to think she has been missing me, my kids, our friendship and spending holidays together. I really thought I would get at least a "Happy Easter" text. Why do I still want this connection with her?

Similar situation to me. My ex broke up with me somewhat abruptly back in November and I've heard nothing from her since... despite being together 2 years at that point.
Like you, I suspect she emotionally checked out. Had a weird gut feeling that she may have caught feelings for some guy at her work, but can't be sure.
Same here....she is yoga teacher and she pretty much told me the first guy who asked her out was from one of her yoga classes.
It's harsh. While I have no idea what she's up to these days, I'm sure it wouldn't take long for any male vultures to swoop in once they knew she was single.
That is what makes is really hard. I don't get opportunities to date attractive women often. Actually my ex was the only really attractive woman I have ever seriously dated. She turned heads in public. She likes attention and being in a relationship. I am sure she is not hurting for guys asking her out. Meanwhile, I am in therapy trying to figure things out.
I'm with you man.
It's hard when your ex is essentially your dream girl haha. I couldn't believe my luck that she wanted to be with me. In fact, she pursued me first. She was the one who approached me and told me that she had wanted to talk to me for a while before building the courage to say hi.
Crazy to think that is now all dust and history, along with 2 years together.
Suppose there's nothing we can do but try to move on.
