If your ex texted you...
How to Respond to an Ex Saying I Love You
Deciding whether to reply depends on your feelings and situation. Consider your emotional readiness and whether reconciliation aligns with your goals. Respond honestly if you want closure or to explore possibilities, but avoid replying if you feel it may cause confusion or harm.
No. Shouldn't have taken it for granted
Ignore, move on, go on with your life. Simple.
No response
I probably wouldn’t respond at all.
If I did I would be really salty and tell him to lose my number.
Ask how his hoe is. And block him.
I would say "Really....why"?

If your ex texted you: I love you and want you back
would you reply and if yes, what would be your answer? honestly
(try to word it, to the first ex you think of when reading this, no backstory needed)
Edit: its not my case, I am not asking for advice, I am just curious as to the wording
Doesn’t it all depends on the story of an end and personality of the ex?
If you gave a break up reason I would tell you...without it - no answer would be useful to you in your search.
If I thought off the bet about Scorpio I would say let’s meet and talk. And I would take it from there. Today that’s it. In a year maybe not even open email or read text and delete it...
I'd ask a bunch of questions....like is that a perk when you get to the other side...they give you a phone? How's his plan...like is it truly unlimited or do they throttle his data too after reaching a certain gig? Is he stuck inside my phone...do I need to call an exorcist....text "help" if so.

Awe 😔❤️
Which ex? Cuz seriously all but one I’d say are you kidding me? Ya no.
It just depends if I was done or not. Yep on the one... I haven’t got to done yet. Even though logically I should have. I answer, I go back trying to make it work or get to done.

"Which ex? Cuz seriously all but one I’d say are you kidding me? Ya no. "
"all but one" and thats the point
I think everyone has lots of exes, but knows exactly which ex they mean, when they think, what they would do and if they would reply and what 🙂

Ok. I don’t have to say what if. It’s happened and more than once. There were times I wouldn’t reply at first, but he’s not going away so I decided this year what I had to do was deal with it. So what I do now is say hi. I let him talk. When he says, I love you, I miss you. I say I know. I might even say I do too, but...
So I ask why he left. He talks more.
It becomes a conversation about how he was feeling, how I see it. At the very least we are working through it. To what end I don’t know. And this is what I needed to do, since i need closure. And neither of us has gotten it by being apart.
Interesting what you are kind of doing here. I ha e about 5 exes...but when you say “ your ex” I think most of us has that ONE that sticks out.
The most significant one.
I’d be interested in hearing those stories.
Maybe I’ll start a topic on it.
no sorry there is no point in trying..it will just be the same thing over again. good luck in your life
"Cool story bro. LOL"
I ignored that ish.. he tried calling yesterday but his number blocked.
If its the other virgo.. hmmm 🤔 I'd probably say "Friendship is all I can give you right now but I do miss the D 😅🙄"

one of the terms in the opening statement: "no backstory needed" ....
shrugs.
yes, I felt the moment when I wrote it that it may sound .... somehow or other
without the need to explain, what they did, who was to blame, etc.
just the pure response, like to the universe
The bad ex or the good one? Lol
I know, but you know it will never work. We are great as friends only

My Gemini ex does this all the time and tries to guilt trip me when I don't answer by saying "Did I do something wrong?"
I say "No I'm busy and you need to start dating. Quit texting me with this bullshit."

He's the one I was with the longest but the Scorpio keeps in contact with me still too. I only engage with them still cause I'm single. If I was in a relationship, all men would be blocked.

It all depends.
How's the relationship ended and how long it's been going on—
Honestly I won't think much about it as it is weird reading I love you coming from exes. They might be drunk while typing it.

no, it doesnt depend on this
it doesnt matter who was it, and who was to blame or not blame, good or bad...
if there is no ONE ex, its irrelevant
I mean it

"Is this a joke?"
I'd probably laugh. A lot.
And my answer would be.. *A world of no.
