Encounter with my ex....need to let it out!

I need to let this out! I have been living in the house I am in now with my boyfriend of 1 1/2 years for about 8 months now. I have been jogging/walking in the neighborhood and have gone this one route and past this house. Just today I saw this guy outside in the front yard of one of the houses. He looked SUPER familiar. I looked again and it was my ex-boyfriend who I was with before my current boyfriend.

I texted him to confirm (I memorize numbers and then I can't un-memorize them) and he confirmed it was him. I have no interest in him and want nothing to do with him. I feel anger and hate towards him for wasting my time and the way he treated me.

This is just so surreal. Do you any of you live close to your ex?

I am just kind of in a state of shock...I put him out of mind so long ago.

I told him that I will be going that way still and that I want nothing to do with him. I said I will pretend (if he is out there) like he is a total stranger.

    My ex is 2 hours away and in some aspect that's still too close... be thankful you don't have kids.

    Seriously.

    I think I would have just kept going, not contacted him and went on my way?

    I do find it odd that you texted him at all. Or presumed that he would care if you would be jogging by. You've all moved on so it's irrelevant. !?!?!?

    She's young...I may have done the same thing at that age....but since I'm older and wiser now, why the heck did you text him??

    Yeah. I think the fact that you contacted him after is really weird.

    I hate when people create drama just to rant/whine about it.

    Right. I was thinking they ran into each other at the supermarket or something and he was being a douche to her! but if he's just minding his own business outside his house... well...

    Had to laugh at this one!!! I totally get the poster however, I wouldnt call him to tell him I wouldnt speak to him. I wouldnt have just ignored him into the next century.

    lol@ her texting him and talking to him. Oh to be young again. I am glad I moved 350 miles away from my ex (abusive relationship of 12 years) WITH the person I left him for :) I doubt I'll run into him anywhere.

    exactly.
    reminds me of something I watched on the tube a while ago, forget the specifics. Some chick calling her boytoy to tell him she wasn't speaking to him and giving him the silent treatment, by calling him.

    Got drama? Call 1-800-springer, we'll make you famous

    Precisely. The opposite of "love" is NOT "hate," it is indifference. And you are still hating him, but you need to let go because it is not fair to your current BF...

    Well I am glad the one ex I want nothing to do with is in Wyoming (i am in Texas) so i don't have to worry about him. All my other exes i'm okay with seeing they weren't that serious.... Though my fiance's ex is looking to move to the same neighborhood as us and that is just weird I don't like it one bit, even though we are all on good terms and it would be easier for us to pick up the kids that's just too close for comfort...

    My ex lives 2 minutes away, I see him at the store, I see him when I'm walking the dog. I know he lived there even when we bought the house. Who cares where he lives

    why on God's green Earth would you text him that you'll be running past his house daily (or whatever)? That makes no sense.... it isn't as if he went out and tried to stop you and say, "aren't you...?"

    Kind of a boneheaded move, IMO. He had no idea... probably didn't give a rat's *kitten* either.

    Seems to me that maybe you aren't as "over" him as you claim? The only time I've ever cared about where an ex is or worried about running into an ex is when I still have the hots for him...or when I was worried that my abusive ex (who beat me while pregnant) would/could find me and take my (and his, unfortunately) daughter.

    So, you texted him to alert him that you live nearby, this is the route that you walk, and you won't be talking to him? That really doesn't make any sense. Oh, but now he has your number (assuming that you changed it after the breakup) and knows your routine. Are you sure you don't have feelings for this guy?

    I see my ex of 2 years all the time, she lives round the corner lol, at first I hated it, as I gained alot of weight when I was with her and she did her best to make me aware of that before harshly dumping me on valentines day via text to have a new boyfriend within a few days, anyhow, now I love it, I look amazing to what I did, better job, more female attention and she knows it, so for me, its nice. just thought Id share that lol
