    I don't know what kind of answer you expect.

    Without knowing what the reasons were for the breakup, who can say whether to call him back or not.

    If the problems involved him being a serial pedophile, or he was convicted of bank robbery, or he was a drug using bad tempered unemployed loser, or if he had a wife at the time, then I would say, no. Don't call him.

    However, if you ended the relationship because of distance, time, lack of interest, or incompatibility, then I would probably say, because time has passed, why not call and see what he's up to. It could be he's just letting you know that a party is birthday party is planned for a mutual friend. Who knows.

    Weigh your options, and choose the most responsible one.

    Jake2008 is right - without some further details on your relationship and why it ended, it's next to impossible to give you any good advice about whether you should call him or not.

    Thanks for the comments, actually we breakup because he fall in love with my best friend and they get marry a month after that. So I think there nothing to talk about anymore so we just ended the relationship.

    Absolutely don't call him. He treated you poorly, so don't give him a chance to do it again.
