<human>: I know what the right thing to do is, but all the emotions came back so I really need to write this out.

So I broke up with my ex 8 months ago. He told me he wasn't ready for a relationship. I accepted that and let him go. But I was told by a friend that within less than an hour he was already in a relationship with someone else. I was hurt. Cried for weeks. But fortunate for me I had amazing friends who kept me busy and distracted from all the heartache.

5 months after our breakup, I received messages from him. He apologized for hurting me. Told me he missed me. By then I have already moved on. And I was not interested in getting back with him at all if he's with someone new already. I didn't message him back.

Then today (which would be 8 months after we broke up), he messaged and said that he was at the location where we first kissed and became a couple. He wrote a very ambiguous message that I think could mean many things (good and bad).

I haven't broke NC yet, and I don't intend to because I don't see any point in opening up communication and I do not want to be with him anymore. But the fact he had to write he was in that location brought back so many happy/good memories that I am just feeling emotional right now.

I would get sudden urges to text back but I stop myself and say, "throwawayconfused22, you worked so hard to be where you are now. do not let one text ruin it all!"

I don't know why but all the other times I have no problem ignoring his text messages. But tonight I'm trying to not look at my phone and get tempted into doing something stupid/I will regret.

Please tell me the right thing to do is to continue NC. All these emotions are causing me to not think rationally..

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: ex texted, i ignored, feeling urge to reply but know i shouldn't. r/relationships please tell me not to. emotions are suffocating me right now
