Update: Ex-friend 34F asked me 35M about our relationship over 10 years ago. How to respond?
Congratulations, ApplesandOranges! You found a post that finally hits incredibly uncomfortably close to home for me :toot:
This dude should not respond and in fact should probably just not talk to the ex's family at all, because she was, and they are continuing to, treat him as the backup plan. I know because I was in a very similar situation; my ex would go months, sometimes years without saying a word to me, and then suddenly come swanning in as if nothing had ever happened, stir things back up, get my hopes up (after making sure I was still single, of course). And then off they would gently caress again once the rough patch had passed, and I was left alone again.

No one deserves to be strung along as someone else's Plan B, because you will never be Plan A.

Agreed, but per the comments, it's even more than that:

Maybe she should teach her kids to read the ingredients list and "remember that time we had to rush to the hospital, that's why it's important to always check".

No, it's anyone and everyone else's fault if my kid encounters an allergen! Certainly not mine or my child's for not paying the gently caress attention to what they were ham-fisting into their gob. What do you mean, I should parent my kid?!

Several of my inlaws are needing knee replacements, a couple are pre diabetic, directly caused by being obese for a couple of decades.

Happy at every size is admirable, healthy at every size is complete bullshit.

Again, i want to be very clear: obese people are people. However they will not be people for as long, with as high a quality of life, as people who are not.

No one here is saying that 'healthy at every size' is a thing, though. We're mocking the idea that fat people are on the same level as smokers. They don't increase the chances of people around them gaining weight via Second-Hand Fat.

You put an obese person in a room with other people, and they'll likely sit and mind their business.
You put a smoker in a room with other people, and that smoke is everyone's business, whether they want it to be or not.

They are not even remotely the same and trying to claim the big people are the worse ones is dumb.

Divorce his rear end. Then he can move up with dear old granny and be there every time she stubs a toe and declares a family emergency.
I say this as someone who has had several grandparents die. These many heart attacks are a little sus, if I'm being honest. EIther Grandma is not taking proper care of herself, or she's enjoying the attention every time she's "on deaths doorstep" and everyone flocks in to see her for what might be the last time.

Same. I'm also not a fan of OP for trying to stay neutral; cajoling other people to be the 'bigger person' is easy when you're not the one all of this poo poo is being said to. "I know he smashed your insecurity with an overhead sledgehammer swing within ten seconds of meeting you but please, be the bigger person, just let it go and let him win so I don't have to deal with all of this anymore." gently caress that and gently caress you, OP, that's how bullies keep getting away with their bullshit.

I'll give the GF a lot of credit for being there when OP woke up and for staying with him for the two-day stay.

You really really should not. The time for giving credit was when OP was trying to contact her with "holy gently caress please take me to the hospital"; blocking his number and continuing to party and only at 3am, getting home, going "oh poo poo he wasn't trying to ruin my evening, something he has never attempted to do before and I had no reason to think he would try to do" is way, way past the time for giving credit. This is 'desperate sucking up to avoid being broken up with' territory.

There exists a certain subset of posters both on Reddit and elsewhere to whom the man is always at fault, forever, no matter what actually happened, and they cling to this with the rabid faith of MAGA people clinging to the cheeto.
