What does it mean when an ex doesn’t reply

I broke up with my ex after finding out he cheated. He spent weeks trying to win me back till finally we had an explosive fight and I blocked him for months. He sent me an email apologising for the fight and saying he loves me and I will always have his heart, and I responded with “I appreciate the message but i can’t talk to you anymore”. I know it was my decision but the fact that he never replied at least confirming that he read the email or whatever still bothers me..

I’m so sorry that you had to go through all that. We can never really know what goes on in people’s minds. He probably saw no point in replying. As you said, he already tried winning you back and so maybe this was confirmation for him that it will never happen. What would his reply be anyway? You’re much better off

I think either he is moved on or he is too busy in his life I'm will suggest you don't wait for his reply because it will only disturb you mentally your inner peace is much more important than anything

Trying to manage your emotional and mental state just after a breakup can be extremely distressing and discouraging, sorry you had to endure such an upsetting event. Although things have ended between you and you mentioned that you wouldn't like to maintain contact after the email he said, wanting some sort of reply back is something I understand. It could mean that, since you don't want to speak further with him, that he realised that it's pointless to keep trying to rekindle with things. It's not necesarily a bad sign, if you don't receive anything after that.

If you'd like to chat further about the topic, I'm a 7 Cups Listener who is more than willing to hear you out.

Hope you feel much better from this and regain the strength to overcome the separation💖
