It takes wisdom to know that things never worked and they might never. 

Do not be too quick to fall into his or her trap when he or she texts you

Here are three things to remember when your ex texts you: 

1. You already know his/her weaknesses and strengths

Do not assume he or she is a better person. The real character of an individual never changes. 

If he or she cheated on you, he or she would still do it. 

Understand that you are just going back to where you were some time back. 

This means you must tread carefully in life lest you come to regret for decades.

2.  It can be a good idea not to reply

 There is no need to reply if you have nothing to share with them. 

Remember the person hurt you in one way or another. 

Accept the fact that things did not work and move on.

 Do not try to reunite with your ex when you know the kind of person you are dealing with. 

Ignore the message and continue with your normal life.

3. It could be unwise to reply if he or she was abusive

 An abusive person is not worth your time. 

Never respond if an abusive ex sends you a text message. 

He or she might not have changed. Life is too short to spend time with an abusive person.
