So my ex from 10 years ago called and apologized for being an ass. He spent over an hour going through details of our relationship and sincerely apologizing. We’re obviously much older now, but I’m just so cautious. He wants us to date again. Have y’all ever heard of something like this?

I went through a similar situation about 12 years ago. I was so emotional afterwards that I drove on an icy road and totaled my truck.

After that I never spoke to him again and ended up meeting my now husband a year later.

Take the closure and move on.

Thank you. Glad you found love and happiness.

Nice of him to call. Any guess on the stimulus of his awakening? How do you feel?

I am not even thought about asking him why. He mostly says he’s a changed man. I’m feeling skeptical but he does seem very changed.

I’d want to know more. How has he changed? Follow your gut. How do you feel about jumping in a relationship with him again? What do you want? You’ve probably changed too.

For one he apologized. He seems now much more open to talking about himself and his mistakes. But I’m not ready to jump into a relationship. Yep a I’m now a lot older and wiser LOL

On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
