I've not reached out to my STBX for the same reasons. He says to others he still loves me? He says I want the D? He called our MC last week? So what. A grown man would contact ME and say what he had to say.
Looks like you're starting to get there, TLEE and I am so happy for you. There are still down days ahead but the intensity lessens, I promise.
Hugs, proud of you for ignoring the yank-bait.
