Should I Text My Ex?

Dear reader, I don't know you or your situation. So I won't assume. What I can say is this: It's okay to text your ex if that is honest. And by "honest," I mean you have a practical reason, something worth saying, and which is true.

Let's start with "practical reason": You have something specific to say, that is honest, and which doesn't deploy trickery.

Check your motivation.

What's your goal? Why do you want to contact your ex?

If you have a good reason, then it MIGHT make sense to text. But if there's no good reason, like you miss them, then you can put the phone down.

Assuming you HAVE a good reason, you then need to consider when, and what to say.

A good time to act: when what's on your mind is true. When the thing you want to say is true, then it is true to say it at that time.

Send it, then leave it. Your ex doesn't owe you anything, including a reply. If they reply, they reply. If not, then so be it.

Everything else?

Not as important.

What now?

If you like, you can send me an email outlining your situation. I'll then send you an email in return, prescribing what to do. I charge $30 for the pleasure. That way I know you're serious, and you can expect me to be serious in return. To learn more, send an email to [email protected] with subject line should i text? and just type something like, "tell me more about getting email advice" to get the ball rolling.
