Would it be a bad or good idea to apologize to my ex? Should I?

Question

He’s helped me out with things financially even though we broke up & we got into an argument over something small & We we’re going at it out of anger from the past and saying things we didn’t mean. I told him to die and I called him a crack head baby since his dad does crack :/. And he’s never blocked me in our relationship or after we broke up but this time he did. He has a girlfriend too so I don’t want to interfere I would just like to apologize because deep down I know that’s not how I am.

Yes, it can be a good idea to apoligize. You can do his face to face or send him a message. A message is less personal, but it might be a good idea to keep distance for a while. I don't know long you are not with each other anymore, but just let it slide for now.

My adive.
1: Apologize in front of him, don't make it sound like you want to get back with him. To avoid suspicion, you can apoligize whil his girlfriend is watching the both of you (few feet away).
2: Be honest, don't apologize if you don't mean it
3: Move on, try to live your life without him,. Try to be happy. Do things you like or try something new.

I dont think it would be respectful and that necessary to do it in person. And it’s been 2 months since we broke up so things still hurt a bit.

Well, it's up to you how you apologize, but apologizing in person is way more respectful than sending him a message. Sending a message means you don't really care and you want to get it over with as soon as possible. It's up to you whether you apologize or not. Just talk to him in private without his girlfriend.

If you want to apologize you can. Keep it brief, but make sure it's clear.
Keep in mind his new girlfriend may discover your apology. Don't make it sound like you want to get back together.

It’s not about just letting go. Believe it or not but you have a small or big impact on everyone’s life you come in contact with so.

Loll, well he’ll know that I didn’t mean those things, because him blocking me was a first so. I dont know he had a sad story and he got skinnier after our break up.

You’re probably right it won’t do much sigh. It’ll just be an “ok” moment and we move on with our lives.
