    Unexpected ex contact
    I had a bad time after my ex broke up with me a while ago now, and I am with my new girlfriend which is going great and I wouldn't want anything else, but the other day my ex sent me a message out the blue asking how I am so I said I was OK and asked her how she is and she put GREAT :) and that was it, we haven't spoke since xmas but this bothered me for some reason I thought I didn't care anymore, I don't really understand it or why she messaged me just to put that?

    Don't read too much into the message. It isn't uncommom for an ex to contact you just to see how you are doing. However, I think you should leave it like that and leave her in the past since this little contact with her have open upp a floodgate of feelings towards her.

    Let it go and enjoy your current life and girlfriend. She just stirred up old feelings. Handle them and move on.

    Or fishing for info, curious, bored, or just plain crazy. Don't speculate, or assume, just keep doing your own thing.

    As you see it doesn't take much contact by an ex to stir up old feelings, or send you to some really out there thinking.

    It's normal and healthy to remember your ex, or wonder what they are doing. I check out my ex-boyfriends' Facebook pages every once in a while. Though I wouldn't go contact them to tell them I'm doing "GREAT :)" especially after a painful breakup... most people wouldn't.

    Keep moving on with your life. You didn't get any real explanation about the breakup, you probably won't get any now. When it hurts, we tend to think it's that pain in our heart because we may have feelings still and it makes us confused - most of the time it's our hurt ego talking. I would just ignore it.
