Should I text her?

    right basically I broke up with a resonably long term ex about a year or so ago, we lost touch for the most part after we split but I ran into her about march in a bar and asked if we could be friends again as we were both seeing new people and it had been the guts of a year, she said fine but I never heard from her again, like i texted once or twice but got no replies so i left it go.
    anyways a friend of ours came over from australia there the day before yesterday and decided to surprise my ex in work, apperntly she wouldn't even make half an hour after work to grab a cup of tea for a friend who had traveled 12000 miles to hang out, even fobbing her off fer the next day saying she was too busy (she works retail like).
    the australian friend was quite upset about this as they'd been quite good friends and was unaware that there was now a problem. I know that this is her just trying to remove all traces of her life with me but I'm pretty pissed at her, like its not our friends fault that she has issues with me.
    I'm kind of tempted to text her and say so but I'm afraid that an openly hostile text will ruin what little chance we ever have of becoming friends again, but on the other hand the fact that she hasn't replied to a text in 7 months kind of means I might have missed that boat anyways
    what think yee?

    Let it go. What purpose would it serve? She'll just ignore it and it'll probably just reinforce in her head her opinion of you. It'll hardly make her take notice. As you say she wouldn't even make the time for a mate traveling that distance, so she's hardly the sparkiest manners wise. She also sounds self centered and a tad spiteful too.

    What purpose will it serve you? Not alot save a brief feeling of "I've told you so there! Haarumph!!". Which will give her more of your focus than she seems to deserve.

    As I say let it and her go.


    PS I would also suggest that she hardly seems much cop as a potential friend either on the face of what you tell us about her.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    You haven't been in contact with your ex for at least 7 months, how do you know what is going on in her life? Maybe she is too busy to meet up with people on the spur of the moment even if they have travelled half way across the world. Maybe she was worried you'd be there too and didn't want to see you. Who knows?

    If this girl doesn't want to be friends with you or the Aussie friend, that's her decision. Sending her a text giving out to her about it is going to make you look like you can't move on from her, in my opinion. This girl clearly wants nothing to do with you, hence no replies to your other texts. She's your ex for a reason, let her go.

    It seems as she does not want to keep in contact with people from her "old" life. Not much you can do about it - it's her choice after all. Just move on.
