Question to all: Would you respond to this email?
- You havenât spoken for 8 years since you broke up.
- you were together for about 9 months.
- He lied about his age (turned out he was 14 years older than you, not 5).
- You didnât care about age. But you cared about lies.
- He was a terrible boyfriend. He was super complicated. In fact his complications were layered in complications. He never opened up and he kept you at arms length. He was the text book mysterious man.
- You were very young and naive at the time.
- Despite all of the above negative points, you recognize that he was the best and biggest learning curve you had. You had spent your teens not knowing who you were or where you fit. Even though he hurt you so much, you came out the other side knowing exactly what sort of person you were and who you wanted to become. You found your direction and tastes - what you liked, what you didnât like. You wouldnât be the person you are today if it wasnât for meeting him.
- He never chased after you when you left. He just let you go. You ended up pitying him in the end because it became obvious who he was and what you had been blind to.
- heâs popped up in your mind on occasion out of pure curiosity. Youâve wondered how he made it, where he ended up. If he ever got over himself and settled down or if heâs still in the same dingy apartment he was in all those years ago.
Seeing this email was a complete surprise. Water is completely under the bridge, but why now? Canât decide whether to just ignore it because itâs a bit like, âwho cares?â But the other part of me is thinking, Iâve grown up, heâs probably grown up, it all happened a lifetime ago, maybe we can have a short civil exchange and I can satisfy my curiosityâŚ
