Man Says He Doesn’t Want to See His Dying Ex-Girlfriend One Last Time, Even Though It’s Her Final Wish

A man says he has no interest in seeing an ex-girlfriend before she dies, even though it is reportedly her final request.

He shared his story on the Reddit forum “Am I the A——?”, where people seek advice on personal conflicts. According to his post, he dated the woman “six years ago for two months” before the relationship abruptly ended.

He explained that he broke up with her after learning she had cheated on him with a former partner. Afterward, he moved to a new country, built a life, met his future wife, and is now a parent to a “beautiful” 3-year-old child.

Recently, the man says he began receiving calls and messages from the woman’s parents. They told him she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and wanted to see him “one last time.”

They also claimed she deeply regretted cheating, calling it “the biggest mistake of her life,” and revealed that she had not been in a serious relationship since their breakup.

The man discussed the situation with his wife, who supported him in making whatever decision he felt was right. Still, he expressed that he has no desire to revisit that part of his life.

“Honestly, I don’t care about my ex,” he wrote. He told her parents he didn’t want to visit and asked them not to contact him again. According to him, the parents accused him of being “cruel” and “heartless.”

He noted that some friends believe seeing her wouldn’t harm anything, but he insists that chapter is long behind him: “I have my family, my wife, my daughter and my life here.”

“So, AITAH?” he asked readers.

One commenter replied, “NTA. Two months? That’s not a girlfriend, that’s a hookup. And six years ago? Move forward and don’t look back.”

Another user added, “Her parents are obviously distraught, but asking you to visit your ex in another country is beyond the pale. You have a family now and visiting your ex would be taking money, energy and time from them. You do not owe her or her family anything beyond basic human respect. Taking their call fulfilled that. NTA.”

A third commenter wrote, “NTA. It’s not your issue that she didn’t move on.”
