Need help getting back with my ex?

I know some of you will judge me, so I ask you, if you have nothing helpful to say, please refrain from posting an opinion.

Basically, we broke up like 6 years ago, back in 2017. We were childhood sweethearts, and broke up over something very stupid. We didn't talk at all for 2 years, and then we kinda reconciled, but we weren't close by any stretch. In the meantime she got married and had a daughter, and I haven't had luck keeping anything long term. I started working abroad, and was home last summer, and I saw her, and she asked me when I was coming back again, and I said maybe for New Years, but I'm not exactly on good term with my family, so I decided to not go.

Few days after New Years she sends me a message, hi, how you've been, and I replied as generically as I could, I didn't want her to think I'm still obsessed with her. We had a short conversation, but nothing meaningfull really, until she popped the question again, when are you coming, you didn't come for new years, we should see each other, and I was like, I've literally have no reasons to come back, and she was like, OK. Like a month passed and she started sending me messages on Instagram again, and I've noticed she's been really playful the way she chats with me, like back in the day.

Fast forward to today, she has a story up on Instagram, featuring a song about being heartbroken, some of the lyrics translate roughly to, nobody in the world feels like me, November rains pour over me, you don't ask how I feel, because you aren't you anymore...

Now I know for a fact her husband doesn't use Instagram, and he is 12 years older than her. I also know for a fact that she doesn't really love him that much nowadays, so here's the question:

How do I bring the story up and ask what's up? I thought I should maybe reply to the story, but I don't wanna sound petty, because I don't know if she's thinking about me, or someone else she may have met. If there's a chance to get back with her I'll take it.

Thanks.

It's understandable that you may have feelings for your ex and want to explore the possibility of getting back together with her. However, it's important to approach the situation with sensitivity and respect for her current relationship and personal boundaries.

Before reaching out to your ex, it may be helpful to reflect on your motives and intentions. Are you truly interested in rekindling a relationship with her, or are you simply looking for validation or attention? It's important to be honest with yourself about your feelings and priorities.

If you do decide to reach out to your ex, it's important to do so in a clear and respectful way, without placing any pressure or expectations on her. You could start by simply asking how she's been, and if she's open to catching up. If she seems receptive, you could mention the Instagram story and ask if everything is okay.

However, it's important to be prepared for the possibility that she may not be interested in rekindling a relationship with you. It's important to respect her boundaries and decisions, and to prioritize your own well-being and emotional health.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue a relationship with your ex is a personal one that depends on a variety of factors. It's important to take time to reflect on your feelings and priorities, and to approach the situation with sensitivity and respect for all parties involved.
