Any of you guys or gals bump into an ex who's gotten married or had kids or real, real fat or something? How weird can that be? :)
When I got back from vacation two weeks ago, my mother informed me that my Uncle had bumped into my ex-grilfriend (whom I had dated for 7 years). The two recognized each other and talked for a bit. Turns out that she's getting married. Man, that's weird. I mean, we dated 7 years (well, actually, 2 on, 2 off, then 5 more). We've been broken up for about 3 years or so. I mean, I'm happier with my current gf than I ever was with my ex, but still, that was my first major relationship. Still, I was happy for her. We had a lot of problems but we didn't end on a bad note. We tried keeping in touch but you know how things are- that 'being friends' shit almost never works out.
Anyway, a buddy and I go into Carvel last night to get some ice cream and who's in there? My ex and her fiancée. I was actually fine, but she seemed completely freaked out. She said hi to me and my friend but didn't say much else. This wasn't really like her, as we've bumped into each other here and there and she's always been friendly. I guess having the fiancée and her ex there at the same time made her really uncomfortable for some odd reason.
Plus, it was an ego boost- he looked like a real dork, unlike the moutain of studliness that I am. ;)
There was another time years ago where I saw a girl I had dated in High School in a shopping mall- about 75 pounds heavier and pushing 2 baby carriages. Fucking gross.
