Isabella82 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 So today was the first time that I have seen my ex since he broke up with me after two years.... didn't give me a reason, and never called me again. It has been 2 1/2 years since I have seen him, and finally I saw him today... with his gf Where I live there was a blizzard... my car got stuck in the snow a couple of blocks from my house. My ex just happened to be there helping people get unstuck, so his gf came up to me and asked if I wanted them to pull my car.... She was sweet to me, they later gave me a ride home to my house.... she offered the ride, I said I was going to walk he said ok and she said NO let us take you home, here sit in the front seat! She was so nice. Later on she asked if I was the ex gf and I said yes, and I am so sorry, and she said no its okay, don't worry about it. Then she asked if we still talked, and I said no. So I thought that it was wierd. The last blizzard we had was in 2003.... when I was with him.... now 2006 another blizzard and out of all the people that could have been there who would have guessed?? I live in a big city... But anyway just thought it was an interesting post.... to tell you guys that I finally saw him.... even though I prayed to god that I never would. I mean he tore my heart out never called me again... for no reason... still hurts even though I don't want to be with him, I still remember the pain like if it were yesterday.
Great Gazoo Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Sorry it still hurts but yeah it sure is funny when that happens, makes you feel like its a small world after all.
che_jesse Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Yeah that is odd, you handled it well though, considering it came out of nowhere. Its been years since I saw my ex. After my guy that I'm with, the love of my life, got together I started to think a lot about previous relationships and how, while I thought I had loved some (2) of those people in the past it was nothing at all when compared to what I feel for the person I am with now. Absolutely nothing. Anyways after I had realized all of this it brought all of the bs with exes into focus, how stupid and unimportant it all was, how what felt like complete heartbreak when those relationships ended was little more then a bit of a sad time. So I call up the last ex, tell him "Thank you" and "I'm sorry", both are appropriate at the end of any relationship, that was the last we spoke. I saw him at a gas station years later, there was just nothing left to say, he could been anyone of the street, just happens to be someone whos family I know. I guess my point is: In my experience, the exes that we think we really loved and those that we think really hurt us amount to very little when viewed in the context of the person you are really meant to be with.
Author Isabella82 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 Thanks! Yeah, I did handle it well, I was proud of myself. It honestly didn't bother me that much, it was just ackward because she kept calling him baby.... and she didn't know who I was at that time. Just a wierd mix. She was helping me threw the snow, and me and her were talking. Ha I think she is too good for him.... and I wanted to warn her (but I didn't I was nice) She asked me if we ever talked.. I wanted to say no he left me after 2 years for no reason, and then never called me again. But I didn't say anything.
Guest Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Wow! I can't believe how strong you are. I bumped into my ex after 22 years and I was the one who was with someone at the time and my ex ran the other way. I did not handle it well at all. I ended up on this website and have been reading self-help books ever since. The same thing happened to me. They broke up with me in one night after five years and then I never saw them again. I can't believe that you were so strong, Isabella, I'm so impressed and wonder why the same thing had affected me so much more when I was the one who was clearly with someone and they weren't.
