Two days of silence is a beginning, not a verdict. I won't pretend to know what he will do, and I'm not going to guess his heart. But here's what I can tell you: your freedom was never actually his to give. Peace doesn't arrive when he finally accepts the ending. It arrives when you stop needing his acceptance to close that chapter yourself.
Every day you're not bracing for his messages, you're practicing what it feels like to belong to yourself again. That quiet may not be proof that he's let go, but it is room for you to. And that room is yours to keep, whether he ever acknowledges the ending or not. You don't have to wait for him to be done with the relationship before you're allowed to be done with it. His silence is a gift, but so is your own permission. Take it.

Two days of silence isn't a signal yet; it's a blank. Before you read it as acceptance, know that quiet means two different things in an ex's vocabulary.
One: he's genuinely done. Reaching out no longer pays, so he stops. That silence holds, and it has no rhythm: no late-night texts, no sudden warmth before coldness.
Two: he's out of moves, not out of feelings. Some people go quiet not because they're at peace, but because every script they tried failed. That's surrender, not acceptance. Surrender reverses easily, especially when he learns you're fine.
How to tell: check the history, not the two days. If this silence is a pattern he's run before, you're in a familiar rest stop, not a new freedom. If it's genuinely new, let it be.
A man who has truly let go doesn't perform it; he just stops showing up. The ones who need you to witness their acceptance usually come back once more to make sure you saw. Two days of quiet is a ceasefire, not a treaty. Give it weeks before you call it peace.

Two days of quiet can feel like forever when you've spent months holding your breath. But I hear the question underneath your question, and it's not really about him. It's about whether you're allowed to stop bracing. Here's something tender: freedom rarely arrives feeling like peace. It can arrive as emptiness, as grief, as a strange ache where the worry used to live. If you feel that ache, you might mistake it for proof you're not free yet. You are. His silence isn't the ending being granted. The ending already happened. What's left is you, learning to live in the space where he used to be. That space will feel hollow for a while. That hollow isn't a sign you should go back. It's just the shape of a love you're finally letting go of. You don't need his signature on a story you already know is over.

Honestly? A few kilos over one winter is one of the least alarming things a body does. Winter is long, dark early, and full of food that hugs back. Everyone's jeans get a bit honest around February. The number you asked for, I'll leave alone. Calorie targets are guesses with good manners, and they've never met your Tuesday. Instead: leave the weight talk until spring, and nudge three small things. Early daylight when you can, even ten minutes. A short walk after your biggest meal. Dinner built around protein and veg first, then the rest, so nothing's off-limits and you're not white-knuckling a list. If you're curious, jot loosely what you eat for two weeks. Not judging, just looking. Patterns show up fast. Fifty-nine isn't a cliff. It's just the year the autopilot deserves a glance.

Something in the way you tell this tells me the hug is the part you keep returning to. Not the kiss. The arms around you, and the fact that he said it was always nice. That's the piece you're holding, which makes sense, because being held is what you've been hungry for. He gave you something real, and he also drew a line. Both can be true. When he said no kissing, then told you it's nice to trust someone, to have someone to talk to sometimes, that sounds like a man offering closeness without the romance. Not a game. Just his actual shape right now. The ache isn't really about him, I think. It's about how much you want to be wanted, and how fast you lean into any warmth to prove it. That's worth sitting with. The hug was real. Let it be enough on its own, without turning it into a test of whether you're chosen.

Sixty hours a week is a lot of life to hand over. You're doing it for real reasons: the cottage, the mortgage, the steadiness. That doesn't make the flatness any less real. What I notice is that you already know what you'd rather be doing. Taking people to appointments. A morning a week with Riding for the Disabled. Projects at the community centre. That isn't a daydream you'd have to invent. It's been sitting in you a while. The money has to come first for now. That's true. But for now isn't forever. Try one morning a month. Not a week. One. The mortgage won't notice. And if this heaviness deepens, don't sit with it alone. A GP, a counsellor, a helpline. That's not overkill. You're not wasting away. You're holding a door open.
