    this.
    i don't see the big deal.

    but then again, some girls have to ability to create drama no matter what they do

    This! If i found out my ex lived down the street, i would run home and look up new places to live

    My ex lives in the same town, so yes close.
    He gets on the bus minutes away from my place (I live next to the terminal) and we frequently use the same buses.
    So I know I will see him again, seeing how the guy I am seeing a bit lives ... two minutes from his mom's place (where he's living now).

    So if we're ever outside I am going to see him and probably his family.

    I still talk to my ex's brother though, so I wouldn't care if I saw him at all.

    Live and let go. Being angry and unwilling to forgive only hurts you and takes up more of your time. He's not thinking about it and neither should you. Not only does my ex live right around the corner but he, his girl (who i have known since we were 6) and myself all play softball together or against each other a few nights a week. Grow up, be happy with what you have before you lose it.

    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??

    kind of what I was wondering too.

    Maybe you feel the need to let him know how he made you feel, but I am guessing he knew when he was doing it, but he may apologize. Or he may just justify and blame you. A bad ex relationship is like a sore tooth-sometimes you press on it just to see if it still hurts. Think of your exercise like an antibiotic...take it all the way to the end and the pain an infection will.go away and you will get your smile back!

    Maybe I'm a bit out of the loop about how past relationships are dealt with, but why in the world did you text him? I would have just thought to myself 'oh, that looks like what's-his-face' and gone about my business. As far as the title of your post...I don't think it was much of an "encounter" until you made sure to turn it into one. Just my thoughts.

    Maybe just poke him with a big stick, then you'll get the attention you're seeking from him.

    I live near most of my exes, bar one, I'm best friends with all of them except my last ex. None of my relationships have ever ended badly, but with my last ex we're now not speaking due to him being an idiot ha, so if I did happen to see him knowing me I'd act like I didn't even see anything. I mean you said you hate him for not treating you right but you still texted him, little bit weird. My last ex treated me like crap, he cheated on me and while I don't hate him for any of it, I have nothing to say to him. I still know his number, but if I ever saw him why would I text him to tell him I hated him and we weren't talking? It sounds slightly silly. You've moved on, forget about him, he's in the past.

    If it makes you feel any better, I have seen my last ex, 3 times in the 4 months we've been broken up and we dont even live in the same city, it sucks! One lives 3 miles away and we never run into each other. Thanks for the laugh! I'm sure none of the people posting on here have ever done anything stupid.

    He lives close by and you saw him...so what? Go about your business and forget about him. Would your guy like the fact you text your ex bf to make sure it was him you saw?

    You actually texted him to find out it was him and then notified him that you wouldn't talk to him when you saw him as you want nothing to do with him?

    HUH? He was outside his house and you walked by, wouldn't it have been easier to just keep walking and not spend so much energy on that other business? Are you really over him because I wouldn't remotely do anything like that.
  • You should always assume its him and just go the another route-without contacting him. If I ever see an EX anywhere I turn around and the other way- there is always a reason he is an EX.
    Move on because its in the past, I wouldn't bring it up to your current relationship because it will cause tension. He will think you are interested in your EX, just as people on here do because you contacted him.
  • I live 5 minutes away from my ex-husband and it's a double edge sword for me...we have kids together so it's convenient, but most days I wish he lived in Antarctica.

    One day, I'm hoping, he will just go far away forever. :bigsmile:

    this!!!!

    why would you text him 'to confirm' and then go to the trouble of telling him you always run that route and will be ignoring him if he sees you...?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    just let it go...

    I'm sorry, but I don't quite get why you contacted him at all if you want nothing with him. I'm on this with the guys... it's weird.

    I mean, why contact someone to tell him you don't want contact with him and plan to ignore him? :S

    I mean no offense, I simply don't get it.

    Youve made it look like you care or are bothered by him because you texted him.

  • thought this was going to be a post explaining that you got drunk and then accidently let him bang you for a couple of hours and has left you feeling guilty. Oh well.

    You want nothing to do with him but the 1st thing you do is send him a text?

    U stoopid?

    I agree that it was a wrong move to contact if you don't want contact. Just ignoring probably would have been best. She is young and probably didn't think before doing what she did. Name calling is also making all of you sound very young too.

    Seriously.

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

    THIS...was there really a need TC?

    If you have no interest in him and want nothing to do with him, why did you text him?

    I hate when people create drama just to rant/whine about it.
    or try to ruin someone's encouraging thread for no reason at all. sound familiar?
  • If you're over him and want nothing to do with him, I don't think you would have contacted him. The fact that you did tells me you are either not over him or you wanted to find out if he is really over you or both. I think if you were in fact over him, you would have avoided contacting him and continued on with what you were doing. If he approached you, you could have told him you don't see the need in continuing a friendship. But from what you've said it sounds like the conversation would have went in a completely opposite direction.

    Currently, I do not live close to my ex but I am happily married so it wouldn't matter either way. I used to live a few houses down from my ex and yes it does make it harder to get over them but I never called him to tell him I'm over him. That is a bit odd. It's really not his responsibility to avoid you. You could always go in the opposite direction but it sounds like you want to see him or want him to see you. Actions speak louder than words and this is the perfect example.
