So yeah... long story short... he started dating this other chick a month after we broke up. She basically sunk her claws into him and was always obsessed with him. We are both part of a very large group of mutual friends... which is somewhat good, and also somewhat bad. The more I talk to people, the more I think he may have started something with her in the last month when we were together, when he decided to shut me out for no reason, after months of professing his undying love to me. Which makes me all the more grateful I don't have to deal with such an emotionally messed up scumbag.

 

Anyway... some of my friends, my ex, and this new girl recently traveled overseas with them for this singing conference thing. Then... she proceeded to go to CA with him. She missed a month of college (a MONTH). Now, word on the street is that she is transferring out there. She is young, immature, and stupid, and is prepared to give up her life to go be with him and his unemployed a$$ (something I was never willing to do, and probably, a reason why things never would have worked out between us).. and I actually pity her in a way. But most of all.. its a reason for me to feel lucky that I'm not her, to focus on my own life, to laugh at how pathetic she is, and weirdly enough, to move on.

 

However... I recently realized that she blocked me on Facebook. My ex has not... just her. Like.. why? "Ooooh I'm not going to let you see anything I'm posting about him!" My thought was, "um... thank you for doing me a favor and no longer exposing me to your idiocy." The weird thing is, I have no idea why she would do that (if anything, *I* should be the one blocking him and her... but I haven't).

 

Based on the opinions of others, she's getting psycho and super over obsessed with this relationship. My worry is, running into her eventually. I don't really know how I should act. Should I ignore her? Should I be openly nice about her? The thing that I HATE the most is that I am 99% sure my ex is playing the victim, and she is spreading rumors about me. My instinct (and even my mom's opinion), is if it comes to a certain point, to point a finger in her face and give her the, "LISTEN, B*TCH..." talk. But *I* also don't want to seem like a nutcase.

 

So... when push comes to shove, and I eventually have to see her (remember... same circle of friends)... how do I treat this insane new girlfriend of my pathetic ex?

Best thing: Be the bigger person. Don't let it phase you and DON'T say anything mean to anyone about him or his new girlfriend because things always end up back to your ex. It could be a rebound, but in the meantime live your life, let this relationship run its course, and show him that he is missing out on something amazing.
