Why my ex sounded different on the phone

Author

my ex and I talked on the phone for the first time in a month. he was different. he was giving me space. he wasn't asking me what I had told my parents. he wasn't getting angry with me. wasn't blaming me for things.. I felt like he was calm. I could tell that he has been working on himself and how to manage his negative thoughts. I was happy when he said he had to go so he could sleep. I was also happy when he said let's talk on Monday or Tuesday. I don't feel as much pressure as before to be in constant contact with him. I'm trying to not get my hopes up to high.

you hung up the phone did it leave you feeling peaceful or did it bring that old swirl of hope and nerves back too?

the fact that you’re noticing the change but keeping your hopes in check feels really grounded.

when my ex and i talked again after some time apart, the calm almost shocked me. like wow, this is the person i wished he had been before. it’s weird how a softer conversation can stir up hope and caution at the same time.

I hope this works out for you the way you hoped it would. Someone at least needs to be happy
