So, I need some advice, as I've been doing really well with the NC since my ex and I broke up about a year ago, I had a few slip ups but since about November we've been pretty much NC.

 

However, about a month ago I was in the hospital for a ruptured appendix, had two surgeries and was there about 2 weeks after my second surgery. My family was really supportive, however, one night nobody was there and I was scared and alone in this hospital and decided to call my ex. He answered and we talked for a little bit. He didn't come and visit but he asked if I wanted to get together and get a cup of coffee or something, I think I agreed and then we hung up. (I was on a bunch of pain meds when I made this call, so I don't remember a lot of it.)

 

However, now that I'm remembering it, it's making me question if that phone call wasn't a big mistake.

 

So, what do I do in this situation? Do I just ignore it the whole thing or do I go and get coffee with him?

 

Help?

Sounds more like a slip up than a "big mistake", although where you go from here depends on what you want from this situation.

 

If you really, TRULY want to be friends with him than why not meet up for coffee?

 

Not sure how you feel about him? Imagine him showing up for coffee all smiles with a gorgeous girl in tow wearing an engagement ring on her hand.

 

If that image makes you feel like you need another surgery to remove your battered feelings then I'd politely decline if he follows you up to set up this get together.

Thanks for the advice. I would like to see him again and catch up, just because he was in my life for so long, but I don't think it would be a good idea for me to do so. Also the image of him with somebody else does not make me happy, so maybe it's best if I do avoid it.
