jennie10 Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 I'm sure most of you know my story by now, and so here's what's happend since my last post. Last Sunday we (me and my ex) finally changed our FB relationship status to "Single". As pathetic as it sounds, it absolutly killed me! I cried. Alot. Then went to bed, but it soon passed. I think it just kind of 'hit me'. Anyway, the next day me and my friend were moving my things into my new flat (opposite where my ex lives), when we bumped into my ex. We hugged. We kissed (a peck on the cheek) and made conversation. He came in to see my flat with a mutual friend and again, we all talked, laughed and then they left. It was actually pretty nice and contrary to what I thought, I didn't feel horrible after seeing him. He's even offered to come and help me move the rest of my things in later this week (a guilty conscience perhaps, but a nice jesture non the less). All in all it was rather plesent and I was really pleased with how I handled the situation. Things wern't awkward, I was really rather confident. However, this is where it gets tricky, and you will have to pay attention as it gets a bit confusing so make sure you're comfy! The friend who was helping me move in, lets call her 'Lisa', and the mutual friend who was with my ex, lets call him 'John', had a thing a while back. They were never together, it was a "will they, won't they" situation and after a couple of months it 'ended' rather badly. Needless to say there was an awkwardness when 'Lisa' and 'John' met in my flat, with 'Lisa' not even looking in the direction of 'John', me or my ex. That night 'John' IMed 'Lisa' asking why she was awkward, to which 'Lisa' replied, "I felt awkward because Jennie (me) said she felt awkward seeing her/my ex again" Why would she say that? I was so happy with how I handled the situation and now I know that will get back to my ex and things WILL be awkward (<that seems to be the 'word' of the post!). After a couple of hours contemplation, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I had to tell my ex that I didn't feel awkward around him (not in the slightest) and that 'Lisa' was only masking her own awkwardness. So we have the converstion, again it was really easy to talk to him, and he told me he understood why I felt I had tell him. After all, we are trying to be friends and I didn't want him to think... Well I don't know but I'm sure you all get what I'm trying to say. Anyway, after the end of the phone call we both say goodnight and then there is a long pause and then he says "love you". I didn't know what to do/say! So after what seemed like an eternity, I put the phone down. I haven't spoken to him today and I don't know what to do... Any ideas?
