I was broken up with by my ex-girlfriend about six months ago and while I’ve come a long way it still hurts sometimes. I’m struggling to figure out whether I truly miss her or if I just miss the feeling of being in a relationship.
We didn’t end badly. She simply fell out of love and I’ve accepted that. But a part of me still wants to reach out and see if we can have a friendship again. At the same time I’m scared that talking to her might bring all those feelings back and I’ll end up hurting myself again.
I miss our conversations and having her in my life. I’m still trying to understand my feelings and I don’t know if reaching out would help or make things harder. Should I try to reconnect or is it better to accept that chapter is over and move forward without her?

the thing that prevents me at the moment reaching out is that I couldn't emotionally deal with hearing they have met someone else. ignorance is bliss at this stage. if you have unanswered questions perhaps try writing them down and then ask yourself what would change if you knew the answers.
you feel excited about being friends, or are you quietly hoping she'll fall in love with you again?
i kept asking myself the exact same thing, do i miss HER or do i just miss having my person? i waited a while before reaching out, and i'm glad i did because i finally knew the answer
You seem to have a lot of unanswered questions you need to figure out before reaching out and until then I wouldn’t. It’s just gonna make things messy bc your mind isn’t ready for what might happen or not happen.
Don’t
It makes it worse
If they wanted to they would
