Met my ex after >7 months and my new relationship shattered

You didn’t ruin ALL of the progress but you did just stab a big hole in it!

Dude honestly what you were doing was great. I’d recommend cutting her off completely until you are over her over her.

In theory it’s nice to be friends with your ex because your mind likes what’s comfortable but in reality one of you or both will have ulterior motives.

The reaction you had when you saw your ex was ALL chemical nothing more.

There’s a reason you guys broke up, albeit mutual, you still broke up. So fundamentally there is a compatibility issue.

I wish you the best of luck, keep moving forward, and don’t forget to be kind to yourself.

I’m still getting over my last shot show of a break up but I’m still moving forward and reminding myself that I am enough.

Don’t be friends and move on. Once you’ve been intimate with someone it is very hard to just be friends.

Hope this helps man!
