would you email an ex

[sailorsgal]

if you found out they were ill.
Told dh. I have been quite upset today.

Ooops, have I hijacked?

Sorry

Yes, my best-ex emails me every couple of weeks and I email him. We meet up for coffee occasionally. Nothing romantic or flirty - just gossip and chit chat and care. OH knows- can look at my emails or comes for coffee with me- if he likes and I can look at his emails - he has an ex he keeps in occasional contact with - once or twice a year. I would be devastated if my best-ex was ill or had something awful happen. We were together years- known each other since we were 7.

I would, but then I periodically email some (not all) of my exes anyway. We exchange about once every 6 months/year with pleasantries "hope you are well" etc. I don't bother telling my partner, as it's not significant. I assume he has the same contact with his exes and it doesn't bother me.

In your situation, I definitely would.

Given the circumstances i see no harm in an email especially if you have been in contact over the years, sure he will be pleased for your support
