One of my friends ran into my ex and he was with a girl so she told him just to ease the awkwardness. Little did she know that only threw him into overdrive with trying to get me back.
You're right tho’ there is no easy way to tell him if he still wants u.
Otherwise just let him find out naturally, I wouldn't feel obligated to tell my ex anything friendly or not.
Is this a clear-cut breakup or are u guys talking about getting back together or seeing what could happen? If it’s the latter then good luck with that…he might be upset or disappointed.
