I broke up with my ex because he can be a piece of shit but I want his help
I broke up with my ex about 7 months ago. I moved across the country to get away from him and help me move on. I have to go back to where he lives for a surgery in Feb (we will be broken up a year and a few months by then). I’m not looking to have a relationship, but I’d appreciate if he’d sit with me for when I first get out of surgery to make sure everything is ok. Perhaps a hook up the night before lmao. He helped me during a couple surgeries. We broke up because he relied on me for everything and manipulated me/ abused me kinda occasionally. It wasn’t that serious of abusive though.
Does it sound like a bad idea to ask for his help to save me from paying someone to support me? If I were to reach out to him during the winter to ask, how should I approach it?
