damn, that kind of encounter can wreck a good streak. i learned the hard way that one trigger doesnโ€™t erase all the days i spent getting better, even when it felt like it did.

you asked if she had anything to say and she said no, did that hurt more than seeing her in the first place?

That's hard and disturbing seeing an ex. To love someone is to let them be free and its cliche and easier said than done. Sometimes for ourselves, and the one we love, to be happy it means to live separate lives. I'm sure she feels hurt too, if you had that close bond she is also going through grievances. When it comes to new relationships I have no advice other than waiting until completely healed first and seeing an ex move on is disturbing especially when i haven't yet.

seeing my ex unexpectedly once brought ALL the feelings back, like my body remembered everything before my brain could catch up. you did what you had to do and walked away.
