My ex and I were only together about a month, just a week in person and the rest long distance but we had a really deep connection. It ended mutually because of long distance, he lives across the world and I wasn’t able to go back when I thought. He was the one who brought up taking a step back and just being friends which definitely hurt. It hit me harder than expected because I genuinely loved him. We ended on good terms, like friends.
he asked if he could still send me a Valentine's gift after the breakup and then I said I would too but neither of us did. I actually made him a personal gift and wrote a simple note about how much I valued our time together but I never got the nerve to send it. His birthday is coming up and I'm thinking about sending it now, partly for closure, partly so he knows I actually cared, because I feel like I never showed it. I already made it and I feel like I’ll regret it if I don't, and honestly I just want him to know he mattered to me.
would yall send it or no? Idk if it’s weird and awkward and too late. I don’t want it to make things worse, like we text every now and then. It just feels so unfinished and I might go back in a year but obviously we’d be different but who knows.
