So I'm here at my sister's drumline competition and my ex is in the same group as her...

 

So as they were practicing..some of their outfits needed fixing and I was asked to fix them with safety pins...

 

I didn't think my ex would need any outfit adjustments, but he came up to me needing safety pins...I grabbed a few and handed them to him...it was strange..I still have small feelings for him, but it's as if they're fading. We stood face to face as I have them to him and he muttered a thank you and I just said mhmm and walked away...

 

I know it doesn't mean anything, but that's the first time in a while I've actually encountered him, etc...

 

I don't know how I feel towards him..I think I still love him, but it's fading and fading...he kept starring at me as well...looking over in my direction as I talked to my best guy friend (I wore sunglasses so he didn't notice I looked back)

 

It's just hard for me to stomach seeing him with his new gf

And thankfully his gf wasn't there...

Id try to avoid those situations....

 

That would be painful as hell to me..Unless I HAD to be there(not sure, but I think you could have bowed out of this event without consequence) I just would avoid it at all costs.

 

Hope it didnt set you back..I know it would have set me back..

 

Hang in there!

It didn't hurt as bad as I thought....I didn't make any eye contact with him...I just gave him what he needed and that was that...

 

I do still love him, but I can't let him know...he has a new gf, he's hurt me, and in no mood to boost his ego at all...

Was the way I handled this situation okay?

I'd say you handled it as well as you could have. You didn't show your hand in how emotional you were. I'm sure it was just as awkward for him as it was for you. I never look my ex in the face when I see her. It hurts too much to look into her eyes and not see the same person I used to see.

Sure...I think you handled it well..Knowing me, unless someone died or there was some other extenuating circumstance., Id rather just avoid the person. The way I see it is it cant help...But thats me..

 

Stay strong..

I went to the gym today with my best guy friend and boy was I in for a rude awakening...with him was my ex...I tried to avoid him best I could, but I wanted to talk to my best guy friend...and my ex would follow him around..I smiled best I could and laughed a lot with my friend..not looking at my ex at all...he and I made eye contact once but that was it..My ex had dropped something...it happened to roll over to me and I picked it up for him..he looked down and said thank you..and I just said yeah..I still have feelings for him, but I didn't feel very much pain..just longing...

 

I hope I handled things okay
