Texting Your Ex


When it comes to texting your ex, it's probably a good idea not to.  At least if the break up is fresh.  If he isn't texting you for sure it's just not a good idea.  If he wanted to speak with you, he would reach out and touch you.  If you just recently broke up, he needs time to process and feel the loss.  If you are busy texting your ex, it doesn't give him time to miss you that is for sure.

Also if you are texting you ex, chances are good you are doing two things.  One, acting from a place of emotion.  This is never a good idea.  If you are hurting, you really can't trust your emotions.  They will lead you astray almost every time.

Second, you are trying to control the outcome more than likely.  You are sittiing there, unable to think of little else and just looking for a good excuse to make contact.  There really is no good excuse.  You can't control his reaction to your text and chances are good that you may feel worse with the outcome you get.  He may not reply.  He may reply with just one word or be short.  Neither of these bring him back and neither of these lessen your pain so why do it?

The best time to text your ex is after some time has went by.  A few weeks at the bare minimum.  This way he has had time to miss you.  He has had time to calm down.  Men in time do tend to remember the good over the bad.  If you over reacted during your break up, it gives him time to clear that unattractive memory of you with little dignity.
