"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nTwo years ago I stormed out of a Brazilian steakhouse in Philly after breaking up with my boyfriend on our four year anniversary. I swore I'd never talk to him or see him again. I mean, when you find out that he screwed around with some fea on Valentine's Day (not to mention, he met up with you after right after), you kind of hope to pay him back in the worst way possible. Forget waiting on karma to do the dirty work!!Two years later, with a new man and a baby girl, I called him. I even called him in front of my boyfriend, but I couldn't help it. He's living in a beach town and a high risk area. As much as I can't stand his guts, I just had to make sure he was OK. And while I could tell my man didn't seem thrilled, I know he understood my reasoning.Hurricane Sandy left so much damage on the east coast\u2014nearly 80 homes in my home state were burned to the ground over this superstorm, and I can't get around to save my life! When you think about times like these, you put the crap behind you, suck it up, and admit \"Hey, I still care about this douchebag after all the BS, so let's end this on a good note.\"  It's been a while since we had a conversation. We've exchanged a few words here and there\u2014like a congrats when my daughter was born two months ago and an occasional like on a Facebook status.Am I telling you, chicas, to go out and call all the dudes you've been with in the past? No. But you can't deny how much you care about someone during a nightmare like this. Besides, he wasn't the only reason I called. I wanted to check up on his mother, father, and sister too. We are not a couple anymore, but I had great times with his family, especially his sister, who I looked at as a BFF at some point in my life.I'm glad to know they are OK. When I asked you whether you'd call your ex you all gave mixed responses, but one particular answer stood out to me: It depends on your relationship with that person.  Will some of my amigas call me la loca for even speaking to this dude? Yes, but I can't tell you how relieved I am to know their home wasn't washed ashore."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
