Hi, Delusion
Don't feel too bad about what he said to the realtor. Sometimes guys have hard time talking about their relationship with others, he might just said that to switch the conversation topic.
I think we all making calls or sending emails to our ex that we regrete, but i don't think our ex will hate us or disrespect us because of that. In time, they will realize that we did it only because it's hard to control our feelings and we were in love with them.
After months of NC, I was also sad that my ex didn't know how much I loved him. So I sent him an email to express my feeling, also offered a chance for reconciliation, I haven't heard him, and it's been almost 3 weeks.
I don't regrete sending the letter, it's a relief that i finally let my feelings out , and i am glad i tried my best to save my relationship. but it's hard not to expect anything for return, i constantly checking my email and hoping he would write anything back (even i knew he might never reply to me)
so before you pick up that phone, think carefully if you are really ready for the conversation. Be prepare to get hurt even more if you are rejected. sometimes love is worth of fighting for, even if means you will be depressed for a few months, sometimes it's not.
In most of case, NC is best way to go after break up, but nobody knows your situation but you. If you ever want to break NC again, I recommand contacting him by email rather than phone, you can organize your thoughts much better that way and be less emotional.
