A female United States age 36-40, *ellybeans20009 writes:

My ex just contacted me after having broken up with me for 2 months. We were together for just two months as well, but at the beginning the feeling were incredibly strong. He said he lost feelings for me. That he liked me and still cared about me but didn't want to be with me last time i checked.

When we broke up he said that it was because of his lost feelings. I never expected to hear back from him again. And I was pretty hurt by the breakup. All this time i've been trying really hard to get over him, and I'm not over it yet.

When I saw that he facebook messaged me everything leapt up to my throat and I was overwhelmed. Didn't cry but nearly did. I don't want to give myself false hope that this could lead to any chances of us getting back together. I'm not over him yet and I feel like I should tell him to stop talking to me until I am, but at the same time I'm so happy that he made the first move to ask me how I was. He said he knew he didn't deserve this but he wondered if I was doing all right.

I really don't know what to do. I don't want to give myself false hopes. I know that once I send him a message i'll be wanting to see him again and if we hang out I'll be wanting to go out with him again.

But I don't want him out of my life. What do I do?

Priyanka09 agony aunthey,

well I completely understand your confusion. But you are right, if you start responding, things may start again, and it might lead you to build false hopes.

But no doubt its a good sign he wrote to you. Probably if you want, you can just send him a one liner very casual reply (nothing personal). A reply like "oh ya..I am doing quite well..how about you" and end it there. Hell get the message you are casual about him. You can also chose to completely ignore his question and not reply, both ways are fine. You take the final call.
