After the breakup, my ex sent me a text message.

It depends on whether you want to have a life intersection with each other again, whether you should or not, this is only one aspect.

When two people break up, it doesn't necessarily mean that they become passers-by in each other's lives. Maybe they will become friends, maybe they will get back together, which is possible in life.

Contact after breaking up means that the two have a chance to get together again. When I broke up with my ex, we broke up neatly and never heard from each other again. In this way, we became passers-by in life, thus completely cutting off the relationship.

This kind of breakup is the real breakup. From then on, there is no intersection in life, and we can only find existence in memories.

However, not every couple can share it so simply and thoroughly. Some experiences will be linked after breaking up. Two people either become friends or slowly return to the state of lovers.

This is actually a frequent occurrence in life, and it is not worth making a fuss about.

I don't think you should reply, but it's up to you whether to reply or not. Since two people have come to this step of breaking up, it shows that there are irreconcilable contradictions in life. Contacting each other after breaking up will only increase their troubles and make them more miserable, which has no practical significance.

But this does not mean that all couples are like this. No matter whether you want to get back together with each other or become friends with each other after breaking up, no one can guess your thoughts and make a decision for you.

If you are willing to get back together with each other, of course you should reply to each other. If you think it's good for two people to become passers-by like this, then you can forget the news.

There is always a lot of helplessness and entanglement in life, and there are always some things in everyone's life that others can't replace. Whether you should choose to reply at this time depends on yourself, and no one else can help you.

Love or not, don't leave too many regrets in your life.
