lost_status Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 ok... My ex told me a few nights ago that his father has been diagnoised with cancer. I was wondering should I call him to see how he is going? I know it would be really stressful for him and his family. The thing is, he has been trying to sort things out with me in the past month or so... Plus my boyfriend really doesnt like my ex. I dont want my ex to think he has a chance or something, nor do I want to start dramas, I dont want to give my ex false hope... should I just email him? Call or email... or nothing at all? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrich Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I would send a card addressed to him and his family just saying you are thinking of them all in this difficult time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melrich Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Doesn't matter. You know of them all, they will get lots of cards from people that some of them may not have met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entomon Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I agree with melrich. A sympathy card addressed to him and his family extending your condolence should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justpaisley Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think that if he has been trying to start things back up with you, your boyfriend has every reason not to like him, and you shouldn't be talking to him at all. However, due to these circumstances, I think e-mailing him just to let him know that you're praying for his dad and family (or whatever) would only be the nice thing to do. I'm pretty sure that getting back with you has been pushed to the back of his mind. Hearing that a parent has cancer has got to be one of the most difficult things a child would endure. If he thinks that he has a chance with you due to this, you can deal with that if the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
