Yellowbirdie Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Coming home from an evening out and I bumped into my ex, who dumped me when he was in an episode of major depression. It was bound to happen as we both get the tram home and live only 15 mins away but this is after nearly 4 months no contact and never seeing each other. I was on the tram first when we pulled up to where he was and we caught eyes for ages until the doors opened. He then proceeded to not say anything or even express any emotion at all and run all the way to the other end of the tram to sit down as though nothing had happened. My stop came first and I have to wait for the tram to pass to cross the road and instead of looking in the opposite direction like I thought he would he just sat and stared as it went by, followed by him then dramatically putting his head in his hands...what on earth was this situation all about? How can you have gone out with someone for 2 years and not even be able to say hi? Is it due to his depression do you think? So mixed up right now! Link to post Share on other sites
TAV Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 What a painful experience for both of you. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Seems like he was utterly confused and not capable of having a conversation with you but obviously regretted it the moment you got off the tram. What are you going to do? Have you heard from friends how he is doing? It's awful how a depression can change someone's personality. I really feel for you Link to post Share on other sites
Author Yellowbirdie Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 It was horrendous, I don't know whether it was confusion or shock but it was so unlike his usual character. It was a look of regret but I keep going round in circles in my head as to whether it was regret for not talking to me or regret for ending it all. I don't really know how to respond to it to be honest, I think he still needs the space so I might just leave it until we inevitably bump into each other again. On the outside he can portray himself to many people as being fine that's one of the problems but on the inside I think he's still in turmoil...it's heartbreaking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lovenotwar Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Awkwardness in this sort of situation is normal, because people are human and don't know how to act. This is especially true if the breakup was not that clean, or there were weird issues like depression, which might be persisting. I wouldn't read too much into it. If you want to talk to him, just call him or something. Link to post Share on other sites
