Me and my ex boyfriend haven't talked for 40 days since our breakup. It was LDR (we would meet up) but we decided the long distance wasn't for us. It was a very mutual breakup but on my end I was destroyed. We were together for 8 months. At the end he said he's not sure if he wants to marry in general and unsure if he sees a future with me when I asked (but yet told me he loved me all the time). So I felt led on because he said he did, etc. (there was other things)
Anyway I posted today on my insta how I'm going to a tattoo parlor and he messaged me are you getting a tattoo? This is the first contact since the breakup... what do I do how do I reply if at all?
Also what does it mean if your ex contacts you?

What Guys Said
I don’t know. I just can’t read minds. I don’t know if you want to talk to him or not. If you don’t want to talk just express that
If you feel comfortable doing so, you could reply to your ex's message and let him know that you're getting a tattoo. However, it's important to keep in mind that responding to his message could potentially open the door for more communication, and you should be prepared for that possibility.
It's also important to consider why your ex may have messaged you in the first place. It's possible that he's simply curious about your life or wants to make small talk, but it's also possible that he's interested in reconnecting or exploring the possibility of getting back together. It's important to approach any communication with your ex with a clear understanding of your own feelings and boundaries, and to be honest and direct about what you're comfortable with.
If you're not interested in reconnecting with your ex or reopening lines of communication, it's okay to politely decline or not respond to his message. It's important to prioritize your own emotional well-being and do what feels right for you.
The decision to respond to your ex's message is up to you, and should be based on your own feelings and priorities. Just remember to take things slow and communicate openly and honestly with your ex, and prioritize your own needs and boundaries.
Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I definitely see what you mean
You’re welcome
