Should i text my ex after 3 days?

Author

It’s been 3 days since we broke up after being a happy couple for 1 year and 1 month before everything took a bad turn. We were mainly an online relationship, but we did meet in person once.

She broke up with me because whenever the old following incident came up, it hurt her really badly and she hated thinking about it. I’m honestly embarrassed to even talk about it, but it happened before we ever met. I used to follow a lot of girls back then, and I was a completely different person. When she came into my life, I genuinely changed. I wanted something serious with her, literally. I loved her for who she was and saw her as someone I could build a future with.

When we ended things on a call, she said she was glad we ended things calmly. She told me she still loved me and didn’t even know if she’d be able to forget me after a long time. She wished me the best with another woman someday and with my school, career and future job. She also said that no matter how badly we might want to talk to each other, we should try not to.

I also noticed that the day after the breakup, she went on another account and checked my profile. That was 1–2 days ago. I know it doesn’t necessarily mean she wants me back, but it made me wonder if she might still want to talk.

Before this breakup, we also had a break that she wanted, but after one day I went back because I felt like I needed her. This time, even though I still loved her and needed her, I agreed with her decision.

I’m respecting the no contact right now, but should I reach out again soon, or should I wait longer and give her more space?
Her birthday is also coming up in October , is it okay if I wish her a happy birthday also?

if october came and she still hadn't contacted you, would wishing her happy birthday actually be for her, or would part of you be hoping it opens the door again?

i think you should wish a happy birthday to her because you didn't end the relationship bad. It's a simple thing that maybe should make her Happy. For now, i think u should give her her space.
good luck, wish you the best ❤️

i'd give her the space she asked for, especially since she specifically said you both shouldn't talk even if you wanted to. i know that feels brutal right now, but i found that respecting that boundary gave me a lot more peace than sending messages and waiting for a reply.

three days feels like three years when you still love someone. i used to read into every little sign my ex gave me too, especially profile views, because i was desperate for proof she still wanted me.
