Best Time of the Day to Text Your Ex
Before texting your ex after the breakup you should give them at least a couple of months to get over it.
The first few weeks after the breakup both of you will be filled with all kinds of emotions and it is not a good time to reconcile.
Instead, wait until you get a chance to cool down and figure out what you want to do.
Do you want to reconnect with your ex so that you can stay friends, to get closure, or are you trying to get back together?
There is not much difference in what time of the day you text your ex but around noon might slightly improve the chances of them getting back to you because they will have an entire day to think about it.
If you send your text late at night your ex might decide to reply the next day and then they might be too busy in the morning and might end up not replying to you at all.
