We were in brief communication about a year after our breakup, for practical matters. I felt myself becoming dysregulated so dropped away again. When I eventually felt stable enough to ask my friends about him, I found out that immediately after our split (possibly even before) he was with someone else, and they were pregnant not even a year after our breakup. I was so grateful to my past self for cutting off all contact as if I had known what he was up to after our breakup I would have been even more emotionally destroyed. It’s been over five years since we split, and I have been alone all this time aside from a few failed attempts at dating. I still think about him a lot and miss him but probably won’t reach out.
