So, they dumped you. Ouch. It hurts, and you’re probably feeling all kinds of things right now: sad, angry, confused, maybe even a little bit hopeful that they’ll change their mind. And that little voice in your head keeps whispering, “Should I text my ex who dumped me?” It’s a tricky question, right?
On the one hand, you miss them. Maybe you want answers, or maybe you just want to hear their voice again. On the other hand, you don’t want to seem desperate or make things even worse. Reaching out to an ex can feel like walking through a minefield.
That’s why this article is here to help. We’re going to take a balanced look at whether or not texting your ex is a good idea. We’ll explore why you want to text them in the first place, how to know if you’re emotionally ready, and how to craft a message that won’t backfire. We’ll also talk about what to expect (or not expect) in return, and how to move forward whether you send that text or not.
