First, Welcome! I see that you just joined, today, according to your profile.
I can’t improve on any of the advice that you’ve already been offered, but I will say that it’s indeed possible to get back together.
20 years ago, a girlfriend of mine and I had a terrible fight and split up. Ten years later, we reunited, and have been together (10 years, now), ever since.
So, it can be done, but you need to just make yourself “available” for him, which means that you let your mutual friends know that your telephone number is the same, if he wishes to call.
And while you are waiting for a call that might never come, you should take the time to mentally review what led to him becoming an “ex,” in the first place.
Was it something you said or did that hurt him? Was it something you should have done, or should have said? What (and who) caused the break-up?
But again, the other advice you have been given, is just as good or better, than mine.
