My ex broke up with me 6 mths ago w/o giving me a reason. I accepted the break up and haven't made any contact with him. I miss him and would like to get back together. Is it a bad idea to mail him a package filled with mementos of our relationship--places we went, things he had given me--to tell him i want to try again?

Don't waste your time. He dumped you without the courtesy of an explanation, and you haven't heard a peep from him in months. He can't make it any clearer that he's not into you. It's over. Move on.

Thanks for the q.

The Wise Ass is absolutely correct. It hurts, of course it hurts, but there is nothing you can really do to get him back. Take the time to grieve, then dust yourself off and get on with your life. As time moves on, the pain of the breakup will get easier.

yes it's a bad idea. success is the best revenge. go out and live your happy life. this obviously didnt work out for a reason, even though you dont know that reason why would you waste your time pining for someone who doesn't have the decency to give you that reason? go out and live a happy life. the guy that is right for you could be right around the corner, but if you are too busy walking to the post with a package for your ex you might miss him.

Yeah, I agree with the others. Sending him that package would honestly just make you look psycho in his eyes. Don't get me wrong; it's a cute idea, but I bet you he'd take it the wrong way.

You said you accepted the breakup at the time, which is admirable. Most of us don't, especially when there's no explanation haha. You might as well keep it up and continue getting over it.

Thanks for the advice - he recently came to me and told me he broke it off due to money. I have a successful job and he is still in school. The week he broke up with me I had a job interview for a promotion. I don't understand why money would make such a difference - it didn't matter to me how much money he makes. We are young, I don't expect anyone to be making top dollar in our early 20s. Is pride really that important to a man?
