crederer Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have a childhood friend that I dont see often anymore. I run into him a couple times a year. The last couple of times I ran into him, I was with my ex. I saw him at a bar last week and he said "hey man, good job with the girl. She's really cool and absolutely beautiful". I couldn't bring myself to tell him we broke up, and ever since I've been really bothered by this. I don't even know why but when I got home I thought I was going to have a nervous break down. I was on the verge of getting over the hump but now I feel really set back. Anything like this happen to anyone else? Any insights? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ale khun Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Credered I have read most of your previous post and you seem to be a real mature guy with a confident personality , don't let this bother you , you are better than this trust me . Probably his comment brought memories about her and maybe he thinks she is a great catch but she wasn't a match for you . Link to post Share on other sites
SweetiePie12 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Anything like this happen to anyone else? Any insights? Yes! A week after we had the big explosive discussions that ended us, I took a weekend trip with two aunts. Aunt: "So. Do you still have a boyfriend?" Me: "I really don't want to talk about it right now." Aunt: "But...do you?" It was only months later that I was able to explain to her that my pain was still very, very raw. Link to post Share on other sites
Sneaky Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Mm yeah, I've experienced something similar with a mutual friend a while ago. It is awkward and I didn't quite know how to say we weren't together anymore so I just kind of ignored it... not the best solution but, eh. Link to post Share on other sites
Author crederer Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks for the replies. The thing is most people I am close to already know the situation. I don't understand why it was hard for me to explain to him my situation when it wasn't hard for me to explain it to others. I think a part of it may be that I was so proud that I had a girl like that and couldn't bring myself to tell him I lost her. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was so proud to have my ex, and I have a cousin who always brings up how hot/cool she was and asked if I was ever gonna get together with her again. I've always tried to play it off but its a pretty ****ty feeling Link to post Share on other sites
