I don't know about 2 years no contact rule. I've terminated relationship with one T and during termination we agreed that I will write him about once a year and if I do then he will respond with more than just acknowledging my writing and so it has been for the last two years. Although he told me that he will not forget me it is important for me to read it out from his response to me.

However, our correspondence is definitely not one of friends. I don't know what it is - he has responded to me solely focussing on me, so this makes it therapisty. On the other hand, the way he has written to me has had a sense of companionship or fellow traveller in life, like someone older and wiser who acknowledges my troubles in life and because he has had his own troubles in life. I feel incredibly privileged to have had the possibility to know this man and to occupy some space in his mind.
