would hugging him goodbye be bad when i give him his stuff back?

when i returned my ex’s things, i noticed how i kept thinking about what gesture meant what. in the end it was more about how it left me feeling after, not the action itself.

i did hug mine. it wasn’t about him, it was me wanting that last moment of closeness. it didn’t fix anything but it also didn’t ruin me. it was just a hug.

i hugged my ex when i gave his stuff back and it felt fake as hell. like i was giving him comfort after he blew my world up. i regretted it the second i walked away.

hi babe,
only you know the answer to this… I’m not sure how bad your breakup is but if you’re scared, ask yourself how it would feel to give back his things without seeing him.
hell- how does it feel to get rid of his things and not even coordinate it with him?
