Today, my ex-girlfriend woke up from a coma that lasted a few months. Her parents called me from the hospital shortly after because she was in hysterics that I wasn't there. Apparently she thinks we're still together, and I now have to somehow break up with her again after almost a year apart. FML

That... really sucks. Although I think it sucks a little more for her than for you. You may not be her boyfriend any more OP but I think the break-up speech can maybe wait a bit until she's been awake for a while and got used to the world around her again. That's a long time to have been in a coma and I imagine it would take a while to adjust. The best thing you can do is be there for her now and try to keep her emotionally well. Who knows, she might remember you've broken up a little down the line. Good luck with it.

She has been in a coma for a few months and they have been apart for a year. What do you think when they broke up?

I would be honest with my ex. Either make the parents tell the ex or just straight up tell your ex you guys are no longer together.

It sucks for both of you, you have our support and we trust you will have the courage and patience that are needed . In the words of Basil Fawlty, just don't mention the war. I mean, you know, best avoid the whole topic of the elections. She'll have to believe it soon enough.

My judgement depends on when you originally broke up with her. Pre-coma? ok. During? Karma and YDI.

He said they where almost a year apart, and the coma lasted a couple of months...

Even if during the coma, I'm sorry they aren't married. They were dating. If she was expected not to wake up or something I can't blame someone for moving on.

Bit of weirdness - I just moderated a submission that said: "I have to go to court for truancy. I was in a coma for 2 months and they won't take the doctor's note as legitimate."

If she was in a coma do whatever you can to make it easier on her now and sort it out later. It will be hard but I know from personal experience what traumatic brain injuries, including comas, can do to your psychic reasoning. Please take one for the team - it could be the difference between healing and PTSD-like trauma for her. Just sayin'

No, don't take one for the team. Inform her the break up happened and move forward.
