Running into your ex.

Don't say that. The guy's probably a ****er. It's obvious that you still have some feelings for her, but it's really nothing to upset yourself over. Since this isn't such a big deal, I suggest that you spend sometime just doing the things that you like to do. Spoil yourself a bit and have some fun. You'll feel a whole lot better. Plus, you never know who you'll meet in the process.

Don't worry about it, Oerdin. We wouldn't want the world's savior to be distracted, now, would we?

The really funny thing is about three months ago I e-mailed Christine to tell her I was coming to San Diego to visit my folks and to go to my nephew's birthday party and I asked her if she wanted to go out for coffee. A week and a half go by and I'm assuming she just doesn't want to talk to me then the night before I leave she writes me back saying she'd love to go and gives me a time and place to meet her.

So any way the appointed time rolls around then the appointed time plus 30 minutes rolls around and she still hasn't shown. I've finish my coffee and I figure I got stood up and just as I'm leaving Christine walks in. Apparently she and the new boyfriend had been arguing alot (nothing new there Christine can become a real demon when she wants to) and they broke up the day before she wrote me the e-mail. Any way they were talking on the phone and she told him she was going for coffee with her ex-boyfriend (me) and I guess he flipped out and they had a big argument which was why she was late. Any way our little coffee break turns into a five hour date complete with dinner and long walks around Balboa Park (that's San Diego's central park and also the place we went on our first date). During this whole time Christine is telling me what an ******* the new boyfriend was, how she can't believe she's dating him, how I was a much better boyfriend, blah, blah, blah.

At one point I if she loves him and she says she cares for him but she doesn't know if she really loves him the way she always loved me. I take this to mean maybe she wants to get back together again and actually have a relationship without all the stupid little games and anticks. At the end we go to our sepporate homes and I tell her I'll call her tomorrow. The next day roles around and I give her a call and she tells me she can't see me any more and I bad for her and I'm interfering with her life, blah, blah, blah. WTF? She told me to call her and she said she loved me the day before?

So any way that was the last time I spoke with Christine until yesterday.

Do I really come off that arogant? Somebody should tell me when I'm a pompous ass.

While you are indeed an arrogant ass, I was actually talking about this.

Hmmm. It sounds like you're better off without those kinds of games she was playing, mate, although it probably doesn't seem like it now...

I was happily married for three years and doing well for myself. Then, out of the blue, an old friend of ours from childhood came to us with a sob story about not having a place to live. Now my wife and I grew up in the same neighborhood and knew this guy was a bit of a dirt ball, but decided that since we had a good past together that it would be ok to let him stay in one of the extra bedrooms for a few months until he got back on his feet.

Well, after a few months went by, and he still hadn't "gotten back on his feet", my wife told me that I had to kick him out of the house or she was going to leave me. Hmm... tough choice. He was gone instantly and every indication of him ever having been there was completly gone in a week.

Two weeks later I leave on a one week long Army deal. When I get home, the livingroom and dinning room furniture was gone. The dishes and pots and pans were gone. And my wife was gone. The only good thing that happened that day was a traveling salesman came to my door and told me he'd clean my carpets if I let him put on a demonstration. I turned around and saw the empty livingroom and figured what the heck, no furniture to move...

About a month passes and I get hit with divorce papers at about the same time as I get word that my wife had actualy left me to go live with the guy she told me to kick out. That one hurt. But time heals all wounds...

It had been several years (and several GFs) but I had been recently remarried and was walking hand in hand with my new wife in the local mall where my ex continuelly kept switching jobs from one store to another. We were going to Sears to look at stoves for our recently repaired duplex (it had burned down earlier in the year) and were going to walk past a furniture store where my ex used to work. My wife and I both laughed together that we could now actually use the store because we had heard through the grapevine that my ex no longer worked there. We were both laughing and holding hands when we both looked into the store as we past. Lo and behold, there she was. Sitting behind the counter looking directly at us. With both me and my wife knowing what we had just been laughing at, we both instantly quit laughing, looked away and kept walking.

It was an amazingly ackward situation for both me and my wife because of what we were talking about before it happened. But everytime I think about it, I keep wondering what it looked like to her. She must have been devestated. There she sat, back at her old job when she looks out her store window and sees her happily recently remarried ex-husband and his new wife walking, laughing and holding hands. They see her seeing them and they quit laughing and scoot away without saying anything.

When we were done looking at stoves about 20 minutes later, we had to walk past that same store we had seen her in before. We had decided to go talk to her but when we got there, she was gone and somebody else was in her place. I haven't seen her since....
