AIO to my ex reaching out to me….

So the summary is I dated this guy for a short period of time last year. Things did not end on good terms (I brought up an issue and he didn’t like it so he ghosted me) and he ended up in a relationship with another woman a month later. I was angry, upset, and hurt, but like all things, time happened and I moved on. I haven’t spoken to him since May of last year.

Fast forward to a little over a week ago, I received these texts from him on a brand new number. I have zero interest in reconciling after all of this time and I’ve learned alot more negative things about him since then. I was wondering why he would possibly reach out to me, so I scoped out his social media. He still had pictures with the girl he ended up with after me and it said “in a relationship” with her. I scoffed and said they probably are having problems and he’s looking for ass on the side.

After further investigating, I found out that he actually got engaged to the girl less than a month ago, meaning he reached out to me just weeks after his engagement. Now, I am really pissed. Part of me wants to tell her, and part of me doesn’t want to get involved out of fear of retaliation (by EITHER of them) Am I overreacting to this situation? What would you do?

Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (100% confidence)

Top comment: “NOR. you should seriously consider telling his fiancée. he’s going to continue cheating on her, or rather failing, but trying to. she deserves to know the type of man she’s with. imagine they have kids down the line and THEN she learns he’s unfaithful.”

Notable explanation: “NOR Notice how he jumped into sex a few steps in. He doesn’t give a damn about you. And poor girl is Definitely marrying a cheater. And he’s trying rope you into that mess. He doesn’t need problems with her to cheat. He himself is the problem - likely has a second phone. Just show her the texts and be done with it.”

My ex called me during the middle of the day. It only took me a minute or two to recognize that he was drunk. He sounded very sad, so I listened for a while as he talked to me about politics, paying taxes to fund wars, etc. etc. We’ve been broken up for 8 months, and it was a very difficult breakup in large part due to his unaddressed drinking problem that he refused to get help for. I moved to another city to start my life over.

So, fast forward to me on the phone with him a couple days ago, while typing things in my computer. He proceeds to start crying. He told me he’s dating someone new, and he can’t handle it emotionally because this new girl has some emotional trauma that’s really triggering for him. I won’t get into details on what exactly because it wouldn’t be fair to her, but it involves death and loss. My ex is hoping he can get serious with her but he doesn’t know if he can. I didn’t know until this moment that he’s seeing someone new…. and meanwhile he’s been calling me lately multiple times a week to chat about life. This made me extremely angry.

So I cut him off and said ‘i don’t want to hear about this, i hate it when you call me when you’re drunk, and you always say shit that hurts my feelings with no consideration for me at all’.

I sent him a long text telling him that I know I deserve better than that, and that I barely survived our relationship because of his alcoholism, and that I really hope he finally decide to get some help. 😡😡😡😭 Then I blocked him!! I was tempted to try to find info on this woman and let her know that the guy she’s seeing is crying to his ex about how he doesn’t think he can handle her trauma…but I don’t think I’d take any pleasure from giving that kind of emotional blow to a woman who sounds like she’s had a tough past and is still healing from it.
