A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Today I read a question about a guy that calls his gf names and wont let her eat til he says its ok. It made me feel sad and horrible for her because thats what my exbf did to me but he was badder. I treated him so good but he would always find something bad to say and make me feel bad about myself. I left him because I was fed up with him taking out his flaws on me and blaming me for everything that went wrong. It was a bad breakup. The day I left him I told him I hated him and cursed him out like I was a sailor. That was the only time I saw him cry. I didnt care cause he messed me up so terrible about relationship for a long time but now I have a sweet bf thats the opposite to him. Im heard my exbf is having a baby and I want to congratulate him but I dont want him to think I want him back if I do that. I think it would be good to let him know Im not angry at him anymore. Hes so understanding because he just like me. How do I do this without misleading my exbf to think I want him back? Im glad hes having a baby cause he always wanted some.

hannah76 agony auntHello,

Thanks for follow up. I count 6 aunts against contacting him and 1 for contacting. I believe you were going to contact him anyway so that's your choice. Hope all goes well.

YouWish agony auntYou have a new boyfriend and a new future. Your ex is in your history. I wouldn't ever communicate with your ex again. He has moved on, and so have you.

You said this guy really mistreated you? Why the hell do you feel the need to let him know that you're no longer mad? Be fortunate that you got away from him!

Don't jeopardize the good thing you have going now because you have feelings of guilt for how it ended. Just be happy it ended, and it sounds like the ex has moved on anyways. You should do the same.

hannah76 agony auntWhy bother? You were treated badly so why even bother to acknowledge him? I can't understand why you would want to wish him well. Things have now ended and he has his baby. Let this all go.

I wouldn't bother either. The important thing is that you no longer hate him and you will be more comfortable. No need to make any further contact, just be happy with the new boyfriend.

Your ex bf was very nasty in the way he acted toward you.

If I were in your place, I wouldn't bother (to congratulate him).

there's no need to congratulate him. you're done, you're over, you're no longer part of each other's lives. since he didn't call you up to share the news with you himself but rather you heard it from someone else, it's better if you left it at that and didn't say anything to him.

it sounds like this isn't really about wanting to congratulate him, but you feel some reaction this news about him having a baby. just leave it be.
