I have been pondering for a few days whether it’s a good idea to contact an ex after a recent break up or to leave things as they are.
Is it ever a good idea to contact an ex or do you just look like a needy ex doing the pick me dance?
I’ve been dumped for his ex and I have no choice but to accept his decision. But that relationship is very toxic and I worry for him. I actually think he has been Coercively controlled by her for years. I want to contact him to warn him that he needs to open his eyes and at least go back into it with more awareness. I know it probably reads like I want him back and I honestly cannot answer that but ultimately I’m worried about him and I just want him to know I’m here for him still.
Or is it best to just let things be.

Gosh no. Do not get involved. Move on. Block on everything. It’s none of your business now.

It’s time to put yourself first OP, he made his choice and has to deal with any consequences not you. Easiest way to do that, is out of sight out of mind, block and move on.

I've just been messaging about my ex who left me for his ex while I was pregnant. Apparently she's controlling and coercive but at the end of the day they're adults and can making that choice to be with that person.

He shows a lack of care for you by leaving you so you shouldn't have to worry about him. Also you're prob not the right person to give him that advice.

I'd prob leave it if you've got no reason to be in touch. I wouldnt be in touch with my ex if it wasn't for our baby. Count your blessings you don't have those ties!

He's not your responsibility.

You cannot possibly know what the true situation is between them both.

Leave well alone.
