Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
Thanks! Now I have this song stuck in my head lol
As for the OP, she will think you will want to get back together and even if you, there has got to be a reason than just "hi".
My ex and I ended in a civil term. He knew the reasons why it had to end. Years later, he messaged me out of the blue just to say hi or something, it is just the weirdest thing. I would rather him message me because he needs a favour (legit favour), than just say hi, hope I'm doing well. It got awkward because the "hi" turned into a conversation, we became "friends" again (online), but that's a dangerous ground to be in since we both have someone so I cut it off. (He thinks it's fine, I don't.) There's just no benefit to saying "hi" to someone you don't intend on being friends with again. Unless you're ok with being friends with the ex...that's a different topic lol.
I emailed an ex once and he never replied. I don't see any harm in it really. I just wouldn't expect it to go anywhere, and there is a strong possibility she will never respond. So don't get disappointed if that happens.

It would be cool to hear from people who have a soul, and that have had exes with whom they shared a LTR with.
wow, since you can read women's minds, teach me your power since I would like to know what men are thinking.
But really stop with this nonsense. I guess the four months it took me to get over my last ex, depression and ten pounds lost pales in comparison to every man
Anyone that still tries to contact an ex simply isn't completely over that person.
Yeah, that's not true.
I have had plenty of exes from long ago contact me, and vice versa. My ex from college wrote me a sweet email on Valentine's Day about his memories of our Valentine's Day when I took his virginity he is happily married with children, and it was nothing more than a walk down memory lane.
In fact, it's pretty sad when you do contact an ex from long ago and they don't respond. I tried to connect with an ex from high school over social media and he didn't accept. It's been decades since I broke up with you, dude. Build a bridge and get over it.

Umm, he did "get over it." To the point he felt no need to talk to you.

Umm, obviously not. See, when people become adults they are capable of being friends with some exes of the past. It's not like we had some major relationship and devastating breakup. It would be no different than reaching out to an old friend from high school, since that is essentially what he was.
He is the one who looks like a fool for not being able to act like an adult.
Smack your head all you want, but remind me again--which one of us is in a stable LTR and which one of us can't form relationships and has major anger issues?

Typical CD logic, when you ain't got a point, be condescending and talk down to a poster. Add in one opinion for best results.

Seemed like a very clear and valid point to me.
