so my family and i had to attend a funeral the other day, it was my mother, my sister, my fiance and myself. when we got to the calling hours we went in and saw everyone but then my fiance and i walked back out side because a bunch of my friends were there. at first all was cool then my one of my friends kept looking at me then at his car and back at me, so on and so forth. so i look over and my friend heather was in the front seat, i was all like ok cool and walked over and started talking to her...then i looked in the back seat and there sat one of my exes. long story short one of my friends hooked us up then got jealous and told my ex (for this we will call him jay) anyway my friend started telling jay that i was sleeping with all these other guys... i was still a virgin... anyway jay believed my friend over me and broke up with me over facebook knowing that i didnt have internet at the time. so i heard through the grape vine and had to call someone to let me us their computer. sure enough there it was in big bold letters staring me in the face... we were together over 2 years and it was just over. about a year later we started talking again until i found out the only reason he was talking to me was because he wanted to sleep with me. we got in a huge fight and never spoke again. so like i was saying i saw him the other day and for whatever reason my heartrate picked up and i was like oh crap... i waved real quick to be nice and practically ran away... but then every time i turned around he was right there... but he never spoke just stared. i was so glad when it was all over and we went home but also kind of upset for some reason... i havent thought about him in over a year and ever since that day i havent been able to get him out of my head...for somereason this feels like trouble. what can i do? have you ever ran into your ex unexpectedly? how did you handle it? im completely lost here because i am on good terms with the rest of my exes and we actually hang out all the time.

If your ex could end a 2 years relationship with you over some rumor, then he's not someone you would want to be with anyways. Your significant other should always trust your words over everyone else. And if this ex is talking to you so that he can sleep with you then he's definitely someone you should avoid. This person is your ex he belongs in your past. Unless you still have lingering feelings for this person, but didnt you also mention that you have a fiance?

Your fiance sounds like a wonderful guy, who loves you dearly. As for your ex I think it's absolutely normal for you to still have slight feelings for him. You did give him your heart at one point, sometime you just cant completely take that back. The feelings you have for your ex will always haunt you. The best thing you can do is be strong about it and not let your feelings cloud your mind, if it does it can destroy the beautiful relationship that you are in right now. Plus it'll crush your fiance's heart. I think what you are looking for is closure from your ex, to close that chapter in your life, but that's kind of dangerous. I would not recommend that, because I think it's best that you steer clear of him. Since he's a jerk and all. Your main focus should be your fiance, because he's the one that's taking care of you and loving you.

i completely agree with you. im very happy with my fiance and i dont need him. its not hard for me to steer clear of my ex either... my fiance and i moved to a small town over 40 miles away. my car broke down so now i only have his 1987 ford F150 to drive and that only gets about 7 miles to the gallon and with gas hitting around $3.80 a gallon where i am i really cant afford to get up there. lol he really is a wonderful guy and i couldnt do anything to hurt him. at least not on purpose

It's a good thing that you live far away from your ex, that way there wont be any interference with your relationship. I wish you the very best and good luck with everything.

It took my ex nearly 18 months to talk to me again, but he's only spoken to me the once and not done since then. i still have to deal with his father (my ex's) over my son which i don't like. But I do remember when i saw him for the first time after i got rid of him (the police were involved) mum and i were having lunch in a cafe and he walked in scared the s... out of me. He just walked past, as that was he was allowed to do even thou he should have turned round and walked out the cafe. I wasn't sure of what his reaction would be, as what i'd done was really bad but i had to do it. I guess i will always be on edge about my ex cause of what happened between us. I will put up with him for my sons sake.
