I like that I feel either neutral or friendly towards most of my exes. (Max being the exception, as the way he handled the breakup and has handled.... nothing since, has left me feeling upset and not happy and unsettled.)
Recently, one of my exes (that I legitimately don't remember if I've posted about here... was he "pre blog" perhaps? Or have I mentioned him and just forgotten his "pen" name? I don't know or remember, nor does it particularly matter....) posted (yes, we follow each other on social media) that he was able to go see U2 opening that cool new Sphere venue in Las Vegas. I was and am genuinely thrilled for him and messaged him to tell him as much.
It feels so nice to feel positively towards an ex like this because we did like and love and care for each other, it just didn't work out. I still like and care for this person, albeit in a very different way but I still am so happy for his happiness! Does that make sense? I'm not speaking romantically or anything at all other than "this is a person I have cared for and still like as a fellow human and I'm so happy they are happy!"
I know not all breakups can go like this and time may have an awful lot to do with it but I feel lucky that at least with this ex, it feels more like "didn't work out" rather than anything with animosity or anger or hate. I have warm friendly feelings towards them and that's a nice place to be.
