I'm modifying my previous review because there's a chance I may have jumped the gun here: So the update is that I did hear from my ex last night after one month of no contact. The conversation did feel flat, almost like depressed from his end. It felt like "distant friend" energy in the conversation.
Sincerity told me that I would get an important message just before the holidays where he would be warm, apologetic, bring up the relationship past, talk about where he failed in the relationship. She said he wanted to have an honest conversation and talk about what he wanted for the future and wanting to work things out if I wanted to. She also said he was going to want to see me over the holidays.
Now, obviously the contact that I described did not come even remotely close to what Sincerity told me. However, I do have to consider that the contact I received was a test run and it's possible that the other conversation is still to come. I will come back to update if that happens and if it does not, I will come back to update on December 31st!
