I saw him after 2 months of no contact. we walked past eachother not make eye contact or speaking. I knew it was him through my peripheral view and maybe he saw me too. I don't know if it made him feel anything but I can't pretend that a million thoughts didn't run through my mind. It took so much restraint to not talk to him. I know our chapter is closed for many reasons beyond our control. "That's just life" I tell myself. "Another will come along" people say, but only I know how much i love him and it sucks that we can't make things work. I'll love again but deep down I know I'd be so happy if he wanted to make things work again. I'll let him go eventually.

i'm glad you didn't break no contact, even if it took EVERYTHING not to.
if he had stopped and asked to try again, do you think the things that ended the relationship would actually be different, or do you just miss him?
if he came up to me I would've definitely tried again but I rather leave it as is and respect his decision
i walked past my ex after months apart and my whole body recognized him before my brain did. i looked calm on the outside, but inside it felt like my heart had forgotten we'd broken up.
ugh that is so tough, knowing what is best and following through with it, and then the universe testing you. I hope you’re proud of yourself for maintaining no contact despite running into him, hopefully that will help the resurrected feelings to subside more quickly
