Emailing an ex, just to say hi... (guys, hubby, friends) - Relationships -Dating, marriage, boyfriends, girlfriends, men, women, friends, attraction ... - City-Data Forum

So the other day I was sending someone an email, and the auto-fill system brought up my ex's email. Whoa! That was from a few years ago. I dunno if she still has that email. So I started thinking, maybe I should just send her an email just to say hi, and wish her good luck. NOT to try to rekindle anything! Just to say hi. She most likely has a BF/hubby/kid anyway We didn't part on great terms so I feel like if I send the email, it would also help me release any negativity ive had over the years against her/relationship.... This is all assuming she still has that email. I think it would be cool. What would you guys do?

Im operating out of curiosity more than anything LOL. I have nothing to lose. Not an attempt to get back with her.

I wouldn't put so much thought into sending a friendly email. What an odd thing to over think.

+1 but I'm more so asking if anyone has ever done that. I'm talking about a few years later. I don't want to seem creepy.

Has anyone emailed someone they haven't spoken to in years?

Of course they have. It happens all the time.

I advocate a strict no contact policy for exes. You don't know what you could unearth.

I wouldn't, especially if it ended on bad terms. You even said you were doing it for yourself, just let it go.

EX for a reason bro...

Wait so then why do so many people say, "oh I'm friends wwitg my ex" and, "yea we got back together like 5 years later". I'm not saying I want the latter BTW.
