Nanners Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I'm not going to tell my breakup story, you can click on my name and read it if you want, but I will say I have been in strict no contact with my ex for over three months. Beginning of January she did indirect contact, she used my friend to get her message through to me, and I ignored it. Anyways, yesterday night I was loading up my car for a week long trip for a internship. Literally as I was walking out the door a friend called me and asked if I wanted to go to the only grocery store in town. I said yes because I could use some snacks for the long drive and I haven't hung out with him in awhile. When we got to the store I was excited to see friends that work their. After catching up with everyone we decided to actually shop. We started to roam through all the aisles when my friend stopped me and said "Oh #$!&". Before I could process what was going on I looked up and saw my ex at the end of the aisle. We made eye contact. My friend grabbed me and we went to another aisle. We laughed it off and continue to shop. A few aisle down the same thing happened. She was standing at the end of the aisle and we made eye contact again. Except this time I smiled at her and for once she actually smiled back. I nudged my friend and told him I had enough excitement for the night and that I wanted to leave. At the cash register I looked up and saw my ex standing at the end of an aisle staring at me. I thought it was weird but I was polite and smiled at her again, she smiled back. As we were walking out the door a friend was eating at the cafeteria section of the store and offered us free food. We accepted and sat down with him. There's only one entrance and exit to the cafeteria and where I was sitting I was in plain sight. After about 10 minutes both friends stopped talking and their eyes got wide. I looked to my right to see my ex standing a few feet away from me staring at me. I was polite and said hi and asked her how she was. She started to tell me how she got back from the hospital from a snow boarding accident. I told her "Thats not fun" and I jumped back into my friends conversation. She stood there for a few seconds and awkwardly and slowly walked away. I think she caught the hint that shes no longer a priority to me anymore. I think I know the answer to this but why would she act like this?
mantlefan Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I don't know why you did it, but I think you handled it well. You were polite, but also made it clear that you have better things to do than get in a conversation with her of more than a few pleasantries. Way to make the best of a bad situation! I know it's hard, but if you really want to make even better out of this, try to not think about why she did it. Unless you are a behavioral psychologist, the why's of her behavior are beneath your interest. 1
lauri Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Man ex girlfriends are sometimes so funny. I love how always when you run into them they bring up a problem. I swear they must think it will hook you in and make you talk to them again. Either way dude you handled it extremely well and did a great job. Bravo. 1
