Unimpressed, they were arguing when she asked him to leave but he wasn't taking no for an answer.
Instead, he tried to squeeze himself through a tilted window only to quickly find he was stuck and suffocating himself.
Terrified of her ex attempting to break into her home, the woman immediately called the police.
After alerting authorities, police eventually found him hanging sideways through the thin gap, "unconscious" and "hardly breathing".
“The man’s lower body was sticking out the window. He was unconscious and hardly breathing,” a police source said.
Paramedics who rushed to the scene said the victim nearly died of suffocation as he was blue-lighted to hospital.
The man did not suffer from serious injuries but his actions nearly cost him his life, police said.
“Only the timely arrival of policemen saved the man from fatal consequences.”

Similarly, a hapless burglar had to be rescued by police during a break-in - after he got stuck in a window for five.
The crook was forced to call for help when his plan backfired.
A photo taken by West Midlands Police today shows him with his legs dangling out of the opening.
Shortly after being freed, he was taken into police custody.
Their Response Team tweeted: "#dontgetstuck if your [sic] trying to break in. 5 hours alter shouting help #triptocustody by all means".
PC Matthew Willocks, who took the photo, told The Guardian a full rescue service had to be conducted.
