I’ve been in no contact with my ex for about 70 days.
Recently, our department released lists for a required university exit exam. My name wasn’t on the lists, and the final day to correct it was approaching. That morning, my ex called to tell me he had checked and didn’t see my name, and that it was the last day to fix it. I told him I’d go handle it and thanked him.
Later that evening, he called again to ask how it went. I told him it got resolved. We ended up talking casually joking like we used to and catching up a bit. He mentioned he’s now working 5 or 6 jobs (work stress was the last cause for our break up). I kept things neutral.
Before hanging up, he said he was happy we talked and that I could call him if I ever needed help. We said goodbye normally.
Now I don’t know how to interpret it. It didn’t feel romantic, but it didn’t feel distant either just calm and familiar.
so I don't know if he's testing the waters or not ,but if it we get to the point where we will rekindle this relationship. I'm afraid it won't work out even if we are healed to continue it. because of his jobs. he even told me he comes home 1 day of the week. so what should i do?i still love him.

when you talked, did it feel like the old connection was still there, or more just casual catching up? sometimes that helps figure out what’s really going on
i feel as though it's still there but we're both protecting and restricting ourselves now...
it seems like he’s just checking in, not necessarily testing the waters. maybe focus on yourself first before thinking about rekindling—it’s okay to care but also protect your heart
yeah i shouldn't expect anything.
my ex called about some small stuff too. it felt neutral, but it dragged up feelings i wasn’t ready for. just… take it slow
yeah they do be dragging you in. don't they? I'll be taking it slow thanks.
Tbh, I feel you should go with the flow, but wear boots on that boat so you won't get wet
yeah,i will just see it through.
