I've been in LC for the past 6/7 weeks with her, i never initiate contact. Her and i work together so its impossible not to see/have to talk to each other occasionally.
My ex and i broke but stayed in close contact for two months, things were in limbo and she wasn't sure if she made the right decision and just wanted to see how things went we went out for lunches and take things slow. She told me 6/7 weeks ago that she had kissed this other guy a few days earlier and said she liked him.
She insisted we remain friends but i made it clear it was better for us if we just gave each other space. I mentioned the fact that she hadn't met up with any of her other ex's while we were together to which respond "you are extremely different" She herself admitted that she was still to attached to me. After 2-3 days of nc she sent me a text saying how she hadn't been able to sleep the previous few nights and had been having nightmares, how i was her best friend and how i was pathetic for moving on like this. Later that day she broke down in tears and i had to comfort her. One of my work colleagues mentioned that she had being referring to him as her boyfriend the day before, the sometime she was telling me no one else compared in bed and didn't think anyone would. Several days later i saw her at work again and she would use any excuse to talk to me, and i tried to be polite and kept my answers minimal.
The first few weeks she would only try to contact me once a week if that, the past few weeks she's been contact me a lot more frequently, sometimes sending me pointless texts about how she bought a particular meal at this store we used to visit when we dated. She walked up to me said "you smell nice and you got a hair cut" and mentioned it again later, another day she was checking me out and commented my arms being bigger. I've been trying to keep myself busy by hanging out with friends and in the last week she's been really curious as to what i did over xmas, what i've been up to etc. The past few weeks i've noticed every time i've seen her or had her contact me that she's not happy and has mood swings particularly when im involved, i initially thought it was just me, but other people have commented on it too. I've know her for a long time and she's usually happy. For instance she'll get angry at me for no reason and then 30min later apologise, and call me to help her even if their were others close by.
I've been going to the gym, flirted and had fun with other girls and my confidence is back and i think she's noticed. I made all the mistakes i shouldn't have made for the 2 months post breakup, i acted pathetic and needy, occasionally i would fake being my old self and she would comment how it made her happy, and later say i "turned" when i got all needy. I'd be lying if i said i still don't hope for reconciliation in the future. Im sort of at the stage where im happy without her, problem is all this contact from her of late has made me miss her, i don't know if she's having regrets or after an ego boost.
