my boyfriend broke up with me a few days ago and we havent really talked since but ive heard that hes in a really bad place atm and i dont know if i should text him and make sure hes ok or just give him space

No give him space, you guys speaking will only make it harder for him in the long run. Block/delete his number and social media x

Give him space, if you think he’s in a bad place then tell one of his mates to look out for him

Honestly when I broke up with my ex I stayed friends with him which made him keep hope and keep asking me out I found the best thing for both of us was for me to stop talking to him so he could move on and not still have feelings

Unfortunately you're not really the best person to comfort him in this situation and might just make it worse. He can seek support from family and friends

No you should keep your distance, he needs to seek support from other people now
