wanderingsoul Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Hi everyone, So today I ran into my ex on my way to a meeting. Long story short: 2 year relationship, my first relationship, and we're young--in our 20s. She used to push the issue of marriage and the future, but I was never quite ready to think that far ahead. When she broke up with me she had told me that she hoped to remain friends and didn't want to lose me. The breakup came completely out of the blue and needless to say, I was devastated and depended heavily on my friends for support. After about a month of NC, I thought I was stable enough to be friends, but it ended terribly, and she told me she didn't want to be friends anymore, at least not for a long time. Heartbroken again, I decided to turn and never look back, and I have been doing OK until I saw her today. When I saw her she was with her girl-friend and they both grinned and waved at me and said "Hi." All I could muster was a quick glance and a "Hi" before I went inside the building. When the meeting ended shortly after, they were still there so I awkwardly waved a quick goodbye and walked around the building when I stopped because I received an e-mail. I then heard them coming around cackling and talking loudly as if it were all a big joke! I'm hurt and confused. What does she want? What should I have done? I'm doing my best to move on, and I was, until today.
USMCHokie Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 What does she want? Nothing. What should I have done? You did exactly what you should have done. You were courteous when you ran into her. You did not make it any longer or more awkward than it had to be. Then you left. I'm doing my best to move on, and I was, until today. This run in changes nothing. Keep doing what you've been doing in moving on.
ZachNormand Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Well, keep doing what you have been doing, because anyway you won't run into her everyday...
CaliGuy Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Just ignore her. She chose to walk away, she doesn't really deserve any of your time.
TaraMaiden Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 If you feel this way, it's because you are letting yourself feel this way. "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent". Does she care? The hell she does. The question is: Why do you care? By the way: you were absolutely completely right to NOT consider marriage and the future. Way too young. trust me - she was rushing stuff and running before walking. Stroll on....
