JoustingFaust Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 My ex broke up with me a year and some change ago. It was messy, mostly on my end-and despite the earnest assertion that I would NOT become a simpering, begging mess, I did anyway. She just stopped talking to me one day and never returned any calls. It was humiliating to call her and have a family member answer and pull the 'SHES NOT HERE DURRRR' card. Anyway, ancient histories and what not. I gathered what I had left over in the tank and moved on. I avoided her, disposed of all our communal crap, and cut contact (though really it was more of a gesture than anything significant as she had already street fighter uppercut me to that particular punch). A week ago the odds finally came into balance and I ran into her at a mutual friends birthday party. I had a date with me for the evening, and so did she, but as soon as I arrived she tried to speak to me as you would an old friend and for the rest of the evening sat creepily near me given our history. She then proceeded to fall into a long and very public spiel about all the things wrong with me and all the reasons she wants to see me happy. I have no idea what the agenda was with this, but she continued for at least half an hour and I played along to be a good sport given the peanut gallery. She then acted like we were close friends and started bringing up non romantic things from our past. My question is thus-am I to expect this behavior from now on should our paths cross again? I did not write this with hopes that she wants me back because I have moved on. Those feelings are gone, but I have no clue what her game is. Should I talk with her about it? (really dont want to) or return fire next time? I dont understand how I should conduct myself because that was literally the last thing I expected. Was it a veiled attack? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Calico Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Interesting situation. It's almost as if she publicly justifies why she really shouldn't be with you again, even though neither you nor anyone else suggested that. Maybe it was a display for the benefit of her date? Personally, I'd simply leave this alone and see how it plays out. Doing nothing strikes me as a better option than any of the alternatives I can think of. If you give it attention, it may become a bigger issue and also get you emotionally involved.
