Ex-gf asks "you doing ok?" after 4 days of no contact after break up? How do I answer?
We both broke up still loving each other, not on bad terms, both kind of heartbroken. She kind of gave up, but regrets it I think. We both were crying a lot when we broke up and both wished that each other would do okay. What do I answer to her? Do I say "I'm doing good. You?" Because really I'm not doing good, I'm doing horrible and I miss her. I didn't want to break up. Or do I say "I'm alright."?
Need help here. She asked this last night and I purposefully didn't want to answer until at least this morning.
I'm thinking of saying this. "As much as I want to say I'm doing well, I just have to be honest, I'm barely getting by and really just miss you so much."

Give a short and neutral answer ("yes" or "I'm fine") and do not say anything else. Don't return the question. In my experience, ex-gfs usually like and respect you less if you are open about missing them and wanting to get back together, especially early on. If they want to come back, they will, don't be the one who pushes for it. It sounds like a dumb staring contest, who blinks first loses, but it's just how it is.

Be honest, she could be trying to get back together and if you say you're doing good it will sound like you've moved on and the chance of getting back together is gone. You seem to want to be back with her so just tell her how you feel. Better to be honest and retain the possibility of getting back together than lie and make her think that it really is over.

No you say. I'm okay thanks for checking in. I hope you are doing okay as well?
After a breakup you want to limit your emotional responses. So keep it cool and as calm as possible. Okay is a middle ground. It means you are okay but not great somewhere in between. I've found its the best response after a breakup.
Good luck!

The truth. Guys think that girls want the answer that they want to hear, but that's not true. We just want the truth.
