I saw my ex at an event, we didn't speak but he looked emotional and left straight afterwards. Why would he do this?

A female Canada age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I saw my ex at a recent event. I have not seen him since he broke up with me more than a year ago. I was trembling inside and my knees felt weak when I saw him. He had this emotional look on his face when he saw me. I ignored him and walked away. I just could not handle it, especially when I heard through the grapevine that he's with someone else now. I still have unresolved emotions towards him and I was afraid I'd start crying if I spoke to him.

He left the event as soon as he saw me. Why would he do that?

He felt uncomfortable around you, that's all. That's a normal part of being broken up.

The relationship is over and there are some painful memories.

It is normal to awaken residual emotions at first sight of a former lover. In his case, it may be a painful memory. Don't presume his emotions are the same as yours.

Try to keep "your" emotions in check, and take everything into proper perspective. It's a small world, and you're likely to cross paths. He has someone else now.

Don't raise any false-hope, or conjuring any omens. It was only a coincidence. You live on the same planet.

Move on and continue to heal.

You have to remember you broke up for a reason. You may always care for him and have unresolved issues. He has moved on and so must you. I think it was okay to walk away. He didn't try and talk with you.

My thoughts are, he left cause he wants nothing to do with you. Sorry to be so blunt. It is time to move on.

I wish you well.
