Long before that, I had another run-in with an ex that was kinda funny. This was the first guy I had dated after moving to New York. We had irreconcilable differences, so parted ways. It wasn't a nasty breakup, but it was kind of like neither party having an interest in seeing the other again.
About 4-5 months after that, I went to a coffee shop in Chelsea that's popular with the gay crowd with my friend Matt. Matt is my best gay friend, and he's also really gorgeous. Anyway, we left to go see a movie, and outside the shop ran into my ex. I said hello and gave him a hug, and introduced Matt. It didn't click with me at first, but my ex seemed to be acting really strange, and kept complimenting me on how I looked. I explained that Matt and I were off to see a movie, and we left.
The next day, my ex left me a message asking if I wanted to get together for dinner or something, saying he had "missed" me. I was a little perplexed, since we had had literally no contact at all since breaking up, and it wasn't as if he made an effort. Then it clicked--he assumed Matt and I were dating, and was probably jealous at how hot Matt was... hehehe!

Well, at least you were able to get your ex jealous. I think I was the only one who was jealous when I ran into my ex. You see we kept doing this whole stupid break up and get back together thing because I was away for work or school or because she didn't have spare time because of work or school. Also she was older and her friends didn't approve of Christine dating a younger guy so occationally we'd get into fights and break up because so and so said she could do so much better then me, blah, blah, blah..
Any way usually a couple of weeks or even a month or two would pass and then one of us (normally me but not always) would send an e-mail to the other and we'd end up going out for lunch then it would just seem so natural for us to get back together again. In the beginning I was half expecting us to do the same this time but after a few months I gave up the ghost and decided to move on.
Now seeing her has brought it back but it seems she really has moved on and has moved up. I know I should just find another girlfriend but sometimes moving on is easier said then done.

I was engaged to be married about 25 years ago and she decded to marry my room mate instead. Then they invited me to their wedding. The whole thing was a nightmare for me that lasted a couple of years. Each time I saw them it was like my heart was being ripped to shreds again. Eventually I approached them both at a social function and gave her and him a very sincere hug and a few words of encouragement. I guess I just grew up and got over it.

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....

To top it off she'd gotten a big raise at work (she just finished her MBA last June) and the new boyfriend actually seemed like a really nice guy though he seemed a good 6-8 years older then her.
