I am having a bit of an conundrum and I would love my readers to give me some advice. At the moment there are not many people who I know who would be able to help me with this ‘situation’. Once I’ve gotten a clearer mind and am more sure it’s what I really want to do, I will know which step to take next.
While fighting with my ex last year, I bumped into another ex of mine. Literally in the middle of a fight with my last ex and I literally bumped into the one before him. We had a pleasant exchange (apart from the total and utter fear on his face). Recently in my state we had huge devastating bush-fires and I know that his parents house was in this area. He doesn’t know that I know he now lives with his current girlfriend. However, it has made me think a lot because the place we “bumped” into each other was actually where I work.
I don’t hate him anymore and I don’t want him to fear coming into where I work. Especially with the bush-fires it’s made me realise that I know he wasn’t a bad guy and a lot of his lying was to protect me, in his own weird way. I was his first ever girlfriend and he was so used to being a “player” that lying is honestly the only way he knows of.
My question is, should I unblock him from my Facebook and write just a little message saying that I hope his family are alright and he does not have to fear coming into where I work?
If it were me, I wouldn’t actively reach out to him. That’s just opening up a door you probably want to keep shut. But if he comes into your work again, it’d be a good thing to say, hey, I hope your family is doing well and that they weren’t affected by the fires…that sort of thing. But for your own good, it might may be better not to actively seek out an opening with him by texting him or messaging him on Facebook. That’s just me though.

Sorry to hear about the job. Hope it gets better. Or better yet, hope the place you likes offers you a paid opportunity. Be careful with the ex.
