Ex-boyfriends sometimes send me messages after breaking up. Why?

They miss you: considering that you two have been together for too long, it is natural for your ex to miss spending time with you. By sending you messages, they kept the communication channel. They find it a comfort to send you messages.

2.

They are lonely: if your ex has been single since the breakup, chances are that they just feel lonely and just want to talk to someone. Considering the time you two sent messages to each other during your relationship, it may be lonely for your ex not to contact you every day.

3.

They want to get back together with you: Phil will talk more about this below, but your ex probably wants to get back together with you. They sent you a message to see if it is possible.

4.

They do this out of habit: if you break up recently, it may be difficult for your ex to get rid of the habit of sending you messages frequently, especially if the relationship ends in a peaceful atmosphere. You must judge whether your predecessor has good intentions or ulterior motives.
