Not in a hateful way, but they haven't been in your life for a long time and there has been no contact.

Being sick sucks, dying sucks.
In this hypothetical, You could offer words of sympathy and support and wish her luck.
It might also help to have a moment of forgiving and hopefully eliminate regret and other things she'd probably be dealing with.
Then carry on with your life.

Yes, if the STD is contagious. Otherwise, IWHI.

The biggest issue is how long you've not been together/in contact.
3 months? Yeah, I'd say something.
5 years? Frick no.

Significant other - no.
Ex-spouse - only if children involved.
People are generally exes for a reason. If none of the above is applicable, then I chalk it up to karma for them.

I'm on good terms with both of my ex S/O's. Ex wife and ex long term GF. I would talk to them if something serious happened and have no problem with it.

Wouldn't contact them. I sure as hell wouldn't expect them to contact me if the tables were turned.

The hypo is, you're not on good terms and not speaking.

Agreed. I wouldn't wish harm on any of my exes, but I also wouldn't feel an obligation to reach out to them. I guess it also depends on how long we're been apart. If we dated for 3 years and have been broken up less than a year I'd probably reach out, if we dated for 3 years and have been broken up for more than a year I probably don't know how to contact her anyway.

Interesting hypothetical.
My ex gf with whom I cohabitated for 2 yrs, before I met my future/now wife.........haven't seen her in about 7 yrs, but I see her siblings at least once every week or so, and her parents (retired) at least once per month. The relationships are all good, and they all know my wife and kids.
Her family wouldn't pick up the phone to call and tell me of "serious health issues" but would mention it in face to face conversation.
I would ask her parents to ask her if she would take a phone call from me (she is married) and I suspect that she would welcome that contact.
It doesn't have to be any more than that.

Leave it alone. Wouldn't even cross my mind but my ex wife was a bitch like no other. I heard she just had a 2 pound premature baby. I wish all the best for them but no way would I contact her.

totally depends why you broke up

Depends on how it ended. If it ended poorly, I'd feel bad for them but I wouldn't contact them.
