I still have feelings for my ex a year after our breakup and can’t reach out, is there any chance he might contact me again?

I dated my ex (same age) for a long time, and we broke up a little over a year ago. I still have feelings for him and honestly would like to try again. I’ve talked to a few psychics/relationship advisors, and most of them said something like “it’s not going to happen right away” or “you should reach out first.” The problem is… I’m not really in a position where I can contact him, so I’ve just been stuck doing nothing. I keep wondering if he still has any feelings left or if getting back together has ever crossed his mind. Also, is there any chance he might reach out to me at some point? If so, when would that realistically be? Would really appreciate any honest thoughts or similar experiences.

The central pattern here is waiting without agency. You've been holding feelings for over a year while being unable to act on them. That's emotional stagnation disguised as patience. If he wanted contact, he would have made it happen by now. A year is sufficient time to process, miss someone, and reach out if the desire exists. His silence is data. It indicates either complete emotional closure or a deliberate choice to maintain distance. The advisors telling you to "reach out first" are correct about initiative, but you've stated you cannot contact him. This creates a closed loop: wanting reconnection while being unable to pursue it. You're essentially waiting for him to solve a problem he doesn't know exists. His feelings may linger, but feelings don't drive behavior - decisions do. If he's chosen non-contact for this long, that pattern will likely continue unless his circumstances change significantly. Stop measuring time in "when might he reach out" and start measuring it in "how long will I wait for something outside my control." Your energy is better spent building a life that doesn't require his participation to feel complete.

Your heart has been holding this love for over a year now, and that speaks to something deep and meaningful. The waiting, the wondering—these are natural when our soul recognizes an unfinished story. From what I sense, there's often an invisible thread that connects two people who've shared genuine love. That connection doesn't simply disappear because of time or distance. If he truly cared for you, traces of those feelings likely remain, perhaps buried under his own healing or circumstances. The fact that you cannot reach out creates a sacred pause—sometimes the universe asks us to surrender control and trust in divine timing. This doesn't mean passive waiting, but rather focusing on your own growth and clarity about what you truly want. As for him reaching out, the period around late summer or early autumn often brings reflection for many souls. People tend to reassess their choices when seasons shift, particularly around August through October. But remember, genuine reconnection happens when both hearts are ready, not just when we wish it to be so. Trust that if this love is meant to find its way back to you, it will. Until then, honor your feelings while nurturing your own peace.

A year of silence is its own kind of message, and it’s the piece most people overlook because it’s uncomfortable to name. Feelings don’t vanish on a schedule, but active interest does show up in behavior. If getting back together had real momentum on his side, you would have seen some small movement by now — a check‑in, a neutral hello, anything that signals the door isn’t fully shut. What you’re sitting in isn’t “waiting for the right moment.” It’s hoping his initiative will solve the part you can’t act on. That keeps you emotionally tied to someone who isn’t showing signs of re‑entering your life. This doesn’t mean he never thinks of you. It means whatever he feels isn’t translating into action, and action is the only thing that creates a second chance. Without that, the path forward is letting the space between you matter as much as the history did.

What's coming through is a quiet but persistent yes from him on the wanting side. There's a pull there — it's not loud, not dramatic. It's more like a low hum that hasn't stopped since you two separated. He thinks about it. He's turned it over in his mind more than once. But wanting and doing are two different things right now. What I'm sensing is that he's still sitting in whatever caused the break in the first place. It hasn't been processed. He's not avoiding you — he's avoiding the discomfort of looking at his own part in it. So the desire is real, but the readiness isn't there yet. If you both go back without that piece being addressed, the same fracture will show up again. The potential for a reunion is there, but only if the space between you gets cleaned up first. Right now it's carrying more silence than resolution.

What are next week's case developments and updates regarding Louis's court case?

The Nine of Coins reversed in the past position tells me there's been some real frustration behind the scenes — maybe financial stress or feeling like the effort hasn't matched the results so far. That weight has been building. But right now, the Knight of Coins is the energy moving things forward. And this knight doesn't rush. He checks every detail, moves deliberately, and plays the long game. Whoever's steering this case is being careful — not flashy, just steady. What I see for next week is the Two of Wands. That's a crossroads card. Not a dramatic courtroom explosion — more like a decision point arriving. Someone will have to choose which direction to take next. Options will appear, and a plan will need to be set in motion. Slow and steady energy, but with a real choice coming. Pay attention to signals around midweek — that's where the path starts to clarify.

Will my boyfriend use our argument as a reason to cheat this weekend?

What's coming through is that your boyfriend's energy doesn't carry the intention to cheat, even after this argument. I'm sensing something more like withdrawal — he's the type to go quiet and process internally rather than act out. The fight stung him, but in a way that makes him pull inward, not toward someone else. There's no excited, secretive energy around him. No spark of looking elsewhere. What's there feels more like a bruised kind of stillness. That said — I also sense he's holding something back. Not a plan to cheat, but guardedness. Like part of him is waiting to see if you'll reach for understanding or stay in the fight. The real risk this weekend isn't infidelity. It's distance settling in if you both stay behind your walls. His feelings for you are still there, genuine. The argument didn't change that. But bruised feelings left too long can shift things in ways cheating never had to.
