I'm in day 13 and while out, I saw my ex's mom while out. She got out of the car and began crying, which actually made me tear up. Her family was like a second family, especially after they gave the ok to ask for my ex's hand in marriage. Never got to ask because she dumped me a couple months before I proposed (had an elaborate proposal planned). We talked for a little bit to catch up. Apparently everyone misses me a lot, even my ex's young nieces ask about me. She not to be a stranger and if she ever hears anything, she'd let me know. So this made NC even tougher but I did not reach out to my ex.
Still love her very much but know that NC is what's best for me right now and if I'm better and stronger and build myself back ill be fine. Who knows, maybe she will change her mind in the future
