We are both expatriates and just after Christmas we missed the flight that was supposed to take us where we live. We ended up getting the same accommodation for the night, hanging out together until the check in time. Then we had dîner, it felt right and natural, light and funny. And we spent the night together. It was so tender, a lot of deep eyes contact, true smiles, and sweet words.
He broke up with me three months ago and I really thought I was healed, or almost, but this night is making me question everything again.
After a sweet hug and a long kiss on the morning, we went home and since then he did not reached out. I cant say I regret it but I am feeling used and discarded again.

when you think about that night, is the pain more about missing him, or about reopening the wound you thought was finally healing
Reopening the wound. I feel a bit stupide but without regretting it if it makes sense. Because I back to thinking of him first thing in the morning and I hate that, but I am not really hopefully anymore because I know he is not the one for me. I want more
Yeah he told me that he was missing me, I could feel he was happy to be with me again and I know he is struggling on his side also. But I cant fathom the silence afterwards, and I feel he only give in to that because, in a way, he felt that I was truly ready to let him go. Anyway, thanks for the support 🩷
that whiplash is brutal
i had a night like that with my ex too. tender, familiar, felt like home again. then silence. it cracked me open all over. feeling used after something so soft is such a mindf*ck
Maybe He also was missing you. But what hes building for himself is not having a space for you. maybe He did something after your breakup that He knows you wouldnt be proud of. Im so sorry that you feel that way and you went thru this.
