Women, why would you message an ex out of the blue years later?

[Cynicaldreamer]

Same reason men usually do so: they miss you, are lonely, or realize how good you were after the fact you broke up, and now they want you back.

I'd be careful. There's probably a reason you broke up, yet now she wants you back. Ask yourself do you really want to potentially deal with that again...

Looking for the lift you gave them when you were together.. it's fundamentally a selfish act.

They could have been hurt.. or maybe monkey-branching away from a relationship which no longer serves their needs.

There is also recognition of uniqueness in their ex and wanting it back.

Or finally, remorse.. if they've been hurt, they might realise what they did to you.

Usually because they are bored and lonely. If they are with someone when they do it, it’s probably because the relationship is sour or has problems.

[FlyGirl95]

I would do it just because I miss him. Maybe I’m a little lonely and I’m going back to someone I know. Maybe the breakup was a mistake. Maybe I just want to be friends. Maybe I want to have ex sex. Maybe just maybe I still love this person.

[milettescheepers]

Everytime a guy disappoints me i think whatever its nothing compared to my original heartbreak and its been 5 years later and i still miss my ex but i won't message him im waiting for him i know he's gona come back

[likelyOK]

You are young to have that experience that means you guys were together in hs?
that makes it harder to read in to.

[Walamagicc]

I don’t message my exes years later but I think why some girls do it is because simply they just want sex or maybe they recently gotten out of a relationship and want a rebound

[IveGotNoName]

There are a couple of reasons
1) loneliness
2) boredom
3) missing them

Only when drunkand in a friendly manner, not flirty or looking for anything. Guys however do this all the time, how come?
