Why am i so tempted to reach out to him?

Author

I’m feeling very conflicted about whether to talk to my ex or not. On one hand, I miss him a lot and have a strong urge to reach out because I want closure and connection. On the other hand, I know the relationship was emotionally intense and often hurt me, and I’m currently in a stressful period (exams, work) where I’m not in the best place to handle that conversation. I feel better in my life now, but I’m emotionally tired from holding back, which makes the urge to contact him stronger, even though I’m not sure it’s the right moment.

do you feel like you want him back, or is it more about wanting that feeling of comfort again?

i know what you mean by not wanting to hold back, but you have to do it. for yourself. for your healing. it may feel like it’s harder to not text him but all you will get from doing it is temporary relief. it will likely cause more problems than it would solve and it would also regress any mental self progress you have already made. you have to choose yourself now.
