Break Up & Divorce

My ex said she wants zero communication. Does she mean it or will she change her mind?

My ex and I met during the pandemic and went on a month-long road trip for our first date. We hit it off immediately: we share an industry, love camping and traveling, food, movies, etc. Summer was great. We started fighting in the fall. She had family issues going on, and I had anger and anxiety issues stemming from various things and allowed it to affect her. Additionally we were both drinking a lot, which lead to most of the fights.

In June she broke up with me. My issues had become too much for her but she still wanted to be friends. She seemed to rely on me: I was the one she called to pick her up when she got out of detox, needed help with her script/short film, wanted to go to concerts, etc. She got me a job and wanted me in her life. Finally I asked her if she wanted to give us another shot and she said no. The next day she reached out to reiterate that she still wanted me in her life and I said I needed some space.

After a lot of thought I forced her to take her stuff back from me (she avoided answering when I suggested a date and time) and I wrote her a letter taking responsibility for my fault in the relationship falling apart, told her I couldn’t be her friend, but wished her the best and told her to let me know if she changed her mind. About a week after I mailed it I called her (bad move) and asked if she’d gotten it. She said she had but she hasn’t read it: she didn’t sound thrilled. The next day she texted me saying the call had crossed boundaries; she didn’t owe me a response or reading it, and that she wanted zero communication.

So I didn’t respond and I unfriended her from all social media. Obviously this week has been tough. She’s been looking at all my posts on social media along with her mom (who never followed me). My friends think she’s overreacting and frustrated by me pulling away and forcing her to take her stuff back and she’ll eventually come to her senses. You think that’s the case?
