So today, I was lying in bed with my ex (now boyfriend) and we were talking about our break up. A few days ago, when talking about how bad he had felt during our breakup, he started to get teary eyes. Well today, while we were talking, I looked at him and said I had missed him, while smiling. My eyes started tearing up and I cried a little bit, but it was happy tears. I also told him that to ensure him I was happy. He was very sweet about it and told me he hates to see me cry.
Before our breakup, I would cry a lot in front of him, and was very emotional. I think this scared him away a little bit (before the breakup) because I was crying so often when we saw each other. Because of this, I had promised myself not to cry in front of him if we ever got back together. Do you guys think I made a big mistake? I didn't want to show him that the breakup had affected me so strongly, so I feel like I gave it away when I cried.
