d00d1986 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 So this is a bit of a lengthy story, and as a new member to this site, I don’t know the correct way to go about things. So anyways, here’s the situation that I’ve been in for the past year. My ex of almost a year broke up in May 07 while we were both living on campus at college. She works with my friends and my best friend is living with her current flame. So last summer when I went to visit him, my ex was almost always there and it was very awkward to walk in and have no eye contact be made and the whole situation as most can probably imagine. If you couldn’t have guessed, the break-up was pretty bad and was pretty drawn out (she broke it off with me). So this year at school (fall 07-spring 08), my current girlfriend worked where she lived (in a residence hall). Things were weird when I visited her at work and no eye contact was made. During this past year, I sent her an email saying that I would like us to not be awkward around each other and basically try and squash the animosity between her and I. She replied positively, but the next time I saw her, things didn’t change. Finally this summer came around (2008), and my best friend lives with her boyfriend and things continued to be awkward. So I guess my question is, has anybody else had this trouble with seeing your ex everywhere even after a breakup? If so, how do you make it less awkward? Thanks a lot!
jerbear Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Not much other than be cordial with each other. If both of you are at in a social activity, keep minimal contact and be cordial. Shared friends are bound to happen. In a college, it is not uncommon to bump into friends, ex's, and people you don't like.
