My ex and I went for over 2 years without any contact so it can, and probably will, happen somewhere down the line. I find it best to be prepared so you don't falter, unless you really want to step back into the ring.
I'm kinda with deeno young at this. Mine has an endless supply pool to pull new people from and judging by the indifference shown towards me as our contacted lessened to now having a replacement already.
I see more runner traits in her than going back to the well regardless of the effort I gave, because the effort only matters if somewhere in her Brian she acknowledges it happened.
Now the exception is that after the initial break when I fully believed I'd never hear from her she contacted me two days later [very early in it though]. So I guess she's quite capable of coming back. We'll see I think I'm so devalued and uncared for that it won't happen.
I'd step back in the ring now who knows if in 6 months I'll come back here and laugh at what I wrote, or feel the same. I just do know I'm the kinda person that if she had a problem be it now or in a year I'd try to find some way to help. Which probably is a bad trait to have with these types... .Unless she just stays gone.
I think I'm most upset at myself that is I have a better sense finding this site on how to deal with it all and I'm just down because I feel like I'll never get that chance. Btw, in the meantime I'm moving forward and if she comes I'll evaluate where I'm at and what should be said. For now the replacement is perfect, I'm blocked on all social media outlets, and I think it'll be that way for quiet some time.
