I had found a letter my ex girlfriend had written to me when we first started dating. They really meant a lot to me then and during our time together.
I didn't want to throw them in the trash so I sent it to her about a month ago, for her to do it I guess
Last week she texted me asking why I had sent it and that its been weighing on her mind as to why I did
I told her the reason but she's been questioning it since.
Do I just maintain cordial contact?
Sending an ex an old love letter is a fucked-up thing to do.
I also don't understand why you sent it to her. You say you sent it "for her to do it I guess" but I have no idea what that means.
Also, what kind of relationship have you had with her since you've broken up? Are you on speaking terms? Why did the relationship end?

Speaking terms but seldom. No need to text or chat much anymore that we're not together
I sent it because I didn't want to be the one to throw it out. She spent time and emotion on it. It just didn't feel right if I'd done so

Sounds like a fucked up way to get her back or at least get her attention again.

Agreed. If he didn't want to throw it out, why not just throw it in a shoebox and hold onto it for a while?

When you break up with someone and are thereafter on speaking terms but not friendly terms, you are absolutely not expected to return sentimental things like love letters. All it does it bring up memories which may be painful or intense. I'd apologise. Tell her you didn't think about what kind of an emotional reaction she might have.
