Me: 32M
Her: 29F
I broke up with my girlfriend of 10 years almost a year ago now (it was mutual). She asked me initially if I could tell her when I’m seeing someone new, and I agreed. This was reaffirmed a few months ago when we had a brief chat.
I’m now seeing someone and it’s getting pretty serious but I’m really conflicted about keeping my promise. I think I want to do it out of respect for what we had, but I also don’t want to curtail her healing process. Based on a few other details I don’t think she’s over me yet and this could be devastating for her. Her birthday is also coming up so I want to be cautious of timing.
She lives in a different city, so my options are either just a text, a voice memo, a full-on call, or nothing at all. Which option is the most appropriate?
