I left my ex-LTR after I became emotionally depedent on her during COVID times. She wanted to see her ex and was disrespectful in other ways. I swallowed the pill and listened to TRP by breaking up and ghosting her.

I realised my shortcomings as a man and ever since I've been grinding for the past 8 months during COVID times successfully. I became resentful of how she had the audacity to disrespect me and using it as fuel that kept me going.

Today I received the acceptance letter to start my PhD at Harvard. I felt a strong urge to contact her again and to share my accomplishment and to reignite our relationship. I'm aware this is against the 7th rule of Tomassi, but ONS have not provided the connection that we shared.

Has someone else experienced something like this and what was the course of action/outcome that you took in such a situation?
