Now I'm not going to go into the long history of what has happened with the ex. Briefly we recently broke up because she said her heart wasn't 100% in it and she needed a break. We are best friends and we live within a couple of blocks. We go to the same grocery store, same restaurants, so it is very likely that I will see her around. We have been together for five years
So after the breakup we talked briefly when we exchanged things and then I said I wanted to go no contact. Now I realize I should have probably just not responded but I was drunk when I got the message, yada yada yada.
Without looking to much into So I want to know where to go from here. I'm very willing to give her space, but I want to do it in the best way possible and try to move on myself. Should I say that no contact was a bad idea just do whatever feels right but maintain no contact? This is my first breakup so I'm trying not to completely screw it up. Where do you think I should go from here? By saying that I didn't want to talk anymore, is that ruining any chance of her contacting me thus putting the burden on myself?
Any female advice would be much appreciated!
