Why do they reach out when I finally start moving on?

Many people who leave still rely on knowing you're waiting. While you're sad and available, they don't need to act. When you start to heal, something changes in how you show up, even online, and they notice the pull has gone. The message that follows is usually a test of whether the door's still open, rather than a decision to walk back through it. Notice that it arrived when you stopped needing it, and ask yourself what that tells you.
