Unbearable urges to reconnect with ex... It's been 6+ years...
I have been having almost unbearable urges to reconnect with my ex. We split 6+ years ago and had no communication for the last 5 of them. I know absolutely nothing about his personal life (he is not on any social media, and we have no common friends), and I am scared of many things that could happen. What if he does not respond? What if he is hostile or condescending towards me? And the most terrifying, what if he is in a happy relationship??? All those doubts are ripping my heart apart, but I can never get the guts to contact him. Even though I see him online in my skype contacts almost daily, and I also know his email address. With that, I would greatly appreciate advice on the following questions.
1. What would be the best way to reconnect: email or skype message?
2. What do I say in the first message? I cannot be direct about my intentions, right?
3. What would be the best timing to send the message: over the weekend, perhaps?
4. Any other advice?
Thanks a lot and may all of us find love and happiness we are looking for!
