Two years after the break-up he contacts me?

Dear Cupid,

My ex and I had a really intense relationship for a year. We broke up painfully which I initiated, because we had a 10 year age gap (he was 20, I was 30) and things were in a bad situation with living/working etc.

I was a wreck after the break-up, and as I understand from friends, so was he. It took me a long time to get over him, as I felt he was one of the great loves of my life. I believe he felt the same as me, but it just was not working at the time. We said some very angry things to each other.

I calmed down, and sent friendly messages maybe once every 3 to 4 months after the worst of it was over, and a birthday card. He never replied. Now, 2 years after we split, he e-mailed me apologising for never responding, and quite a long letter saying he thought about me and asking how I was.

I don’t know how to proceed now - weirdly I’m even a little worried to answer because I don’t know why he does it now.

If anyone has any thoughts, that would be appreciated.

Lucy

As Bunny said, obviously there are feelings there or else you would not be acting this way. You were a wreck, he was a wreck etc. but obviously you couldn't stay together either.

You are over it now, so look forward and not backward. Don't put yourself in the same situation you worked so hard to get out of.
