Alright, i'm not sure where to start, and i'm sure you've heard it a thousand times. The ex (we'll call him D) was my ex about 3 years ago. Dated for year and a half, thought about the marriage thing, didnt work out. He tried to come back into my life about a year later and drive off the new bf, and we ended up not talking. Showed up AGAIN on new years eve (i was single then, he wasnt), we had a surprisingly great time, but then he disappeared.

Now i'm seeing someone else (not a very good relationship, but whole diff story) but i, for reasons unknown, really want to talk to D again. He's livin with his new girlfriend so i am TERRIFIED to go over there for fear of a) her trying to beat the hell out of me b) it ending up really awkward with her there staring at me or something.

Yes, i know, by all accounts, i should not even bother. Pretty sure he hates me (i cant remember the last time we talked except for new years 2 years ago), but i really want to. The question is, how do i go about it? I sent him an email about a week ago, but he NEVER checks email EVER, and i dont have his cell number, so what now? Anyone have any advice on what to do/say?

lypiphera agony auntJust to clarify, i DO NOT want my ex back as a lover/anything else. Mainly i just want to talk to him as a friend and part on good terms. Thanks to all the rude responses, but truth be told i have cancer and would like to mend bridges while i still can, which is my whole reason for wanting to do this, not so i can be a homewrecker. Great to know people are willing to give advice instead of be rude...

Dont contact him. Get on with your life.

Hes living with someone else so that means you & him are over. Im sorry to sound harsh but its better than the humiliation of trying to contact him

If he never checks his email there's little point in emailing him!

Write him a letter telling him what it is you need to talk to him about, or whatever is on your mind, and inclusde your phone number and email addy. If you don't get a reply you'll know not to bother any more.
