Update: Ex contacted me....
by sending a text message. He asked if I would like some of his children's clothes that he was sorting though. As with many people, money is tight so I replied that would be nice and he said he would drop them off at my door one day.
A couple of weeks ago, he checked out my dating profile. My profile is hidden now since I am interested in this new person. Is this just coincidence or do you think there is more to it? My close friends tell me it is NOT about the clothes and he is trying to open up communication between us.
I am already dating someone else, but he doesn't know this because we haven't been in contact for a few months. I kept my replies very, very short (but polite) and think I've reached a place where I feel excited to explore things with the new guy and leave the past in the past. My gut is telling me he has some doubts after breaking my heart. Why do they come back after the damage is done? Do you think he was trying to be nice or there's more to it? I was really head over heels and wanted to marry him, but think I would be afraid to take a chance again because our breakup caused me so much pain. Any advice? His reappearance confuses me.
