Willing yourself to not contact an ex

[MrCrowesGarden]

This is bull. Don't call him.

Dreams don't tell you anything about the world out there. They do tell you about how you feel. He's not dying, but your love for him is.

Don't call, it's sentimental claptrap.

or maybe she's dying without him.

Either way, calling him is pointless.

What if she just wants to wake his ass up?

In that case I support the idea. That would be pretty funny.

The easiest way to fight off this urge is to think about what you would even say if you called. I've wanted to call my version of this. Had the phone in my hand. But then thought about how awkward the whole thing would be. Though it would be nice to talk like we used to, that's gone and replaced by something worse than talking to a stranger.

Come on now. Let's not overthink this. Unless calling him would do harm to him, you should call him. If you still value his friendship, then his friendship should be a part of your life.

Pre Mrs. Jack, I had an intense relationship with a fantastic woman. We are both married now, but we stay in frequent touch, and still debate the same issues we did when we were together.

Too many run from their past. A relationship that does not work out is not always a failed one. Sometimes they evolve.

I dunno...it would make for some good drama.

On the serious side, if all your going to do is think about this, then you should just call him or your friend and get it out of your mind one way or the other. Your never know what could happen.

On the less serious (but more fun) side, go out and find some hot random stranger, have steamy kinky sex with him, close your eyes during it...when you open your eyes if you see this ex's face then you should call him.

About 3 months after my ex-gf and I broke up she called me crying at like 5 am one morning. I had just graduated and moved to my current location which is about 6 hours from home (alton).

Anyway, she calls and asks me if I'm alright etc etc etc. I was like WTF and asked what was going on. She said she just had a really, really, really vivid and life-like dream that I was driving home and had been run over by a semi that had crossed the median. I guess it shook her up pretty bad....obviously bad enough to call me.

Believing largely what Geen does, I didn't think of it again until I read doc's post.

Handle this with a lead suit. If you're concerned about the health of your ex, ask your mutual acquaintance about him.

If you just want to let him know that you wish him well, write a letter expressing your concern, and ask your mutual acquaintance to send it to him. Mail it if you know his address.

Or just ask the mutual acquaintance to convey your concern.

Ethically it's a good thing to do. But if were you, I'd be very cautious about direct contact.
