Lookback: 2 months after breakup

I accepted a ride home from my ex.

My ex and I broke up amicably, but when she gave me a ride after we finalized our old lease, I saw an empty Plan B package in her car. The sight made me feel sick and completely derailed my healing process.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how much seeing evidence of her moving on would hurt me."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious with post-breakup interactions to protect your own healing, even if the split was amicable."

Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
