Running into my ex


Recommended Posts

Ran into my ex today at a cafe. Long story, it always is but I was the one that ended the relationship. I hadn’t seen him for 5 years. Relationship was 10 years. I’m now married. I was with my 3 year old daughter. I said hello, how are you etc. He told me he did not want to talk to me. I pleaded with him. He got tearful and said that he hated me and said that everything worked out well for me and that he’s depressed and alone, and that he wishes he never met me.
I don’t know what to think, like what he said to me was extremely hurtful but I’m upset that he is sad and hurting.

Why did you plead with him? Respect that he did not move on. Don't make it about you, it's his burden to carry and he may never make peace with it. Yes it is sad, but that's it. It's his pain , not yours.

All adults being equal, he's a grown man. If he wants to destroy his own life carrying a chip around, then that's his monkey, his circus.

CongrAts on your marriage and baby!

Why would you "plead" with him?  This is so cringey.  It's not a good look to make yourself seem desperate and to start airing out drama from 5 years ago.  You should have just said a casual "hi" to him and kept walking.
