[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Short story: I left ex-H, he did not want to break up, he fought for it and acted completely crazy for a while. We divorced. He finally calmed down about 8 months ago. Since then we have better communication (we co-parent). Definitely friendlier but have never discussed the break up, kept it strictly to co-parenting issues.

Recently, he wrote a very kind email and I responded by letting him know, in more or less words, part of me will always love him. And it's sad we did not make it.

Feeling like a total dummy because he never replied. We've had contact, very friendly and normal, about co-parenting stuff.

I can understand he wouldn't respond out of self-preservation, I know he was very hurt as of course, was I. I can also understand he may not want to open the "Relationship Talk" can of worms. Just feeling dumb about laying it out there but also think it's also good and mature to make amends, especially since we'll be in each other's lives forever.

Hoping I still get a response in some way or another. Feels like a hanging conversation.

I mean this in the kindest possible way.

You sound immature. Your ex has been blindsided and had his life turned upside down. He's finally getting back on his feet, and you reopen the conversation about your relationship over email and then are shocked that he doesn't respond? I really don't know what sort of response you wanted or expected. Did you want to hear that he's still pining for you? You sound very blasé about the whole thing, and come across as not really getting what he has been through. If he gets that vibe from you too, then I can see why he doesn't want to reopen old wounds.

I would just forget about it and focus on keeping your co-parenting relationship on an even keel. [/quote]
