crimsonskies Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Ok so today on my way to work i see my ex when he saw me he looked down at the ground, we were at a far enough distance not to have to talk. So i carried on walking when i looked again he was looking so i didn't know what else to but wave and sort of smile. Thankfully he waved back but he didn't smile he looked kind of sad i guess. We've not spoken since we broke up a month ago i've given him space but i miss him terribly. Was this the right thing to do to wave at him or should i have ignored him?
PowerOfOne Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I think you did great! Ignoring him wouldn't have proved anything. You acknowlaged him but kept going about your business. Sends a strong msg that you're in control and going about your life. Good stuff
sammyd Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Yep, well done you:) You did exactly the right thing.
smudge21 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Nice one. I contacted my ex today, just a text message as she's having a fairly big operation soon. It was just poliet and wishing her well. I am aiming to stay NC, but I'm still someone who cares when people are going through rough times, so I didn't think I did anything bad by texting. I didn't ask for any reply, just wished her well. Plain and simple. I firmly believe in NC, but I also believe sometimes it's okay to break it for special reasons.
Author crimsonskies Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Thing is im confused about his reaction to me when he realised i was there, the looking at the ground and then looking at me when i walked past and then not smiling when i did. He was the one that broke up with me after a year and isn't one to talk about his feelings and is a nice guy. I guess im stupidly holding out hope for another chance

I guess im stupidly holding out hope for another chance There's really nothing to be confused about. Men hate to be in uncomforatble situations and would rather disappear that deal with something or someone that could cause conflict. He looked to the ground because he didn't want to acknowledge you, he watched as you passed by because that's a human reaction, and he didn't smile because he didn't have anything to smile about. I use to read into everything until a good friend of mine pulled my ear and told me to stop. It can be very upsetting especially if you're holding out hope. Best of luck to you.
Author crimsonskies Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Yeah youre right, i was going to do the same thing and not acknowledge him but i decided to be mature about it and show him im not a coward nor that i hate him
