Why did my ex decide to help us move in together? I don't understand why he wanted to insert himself into my life like that!

Question - (29 June 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 29 June 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My last ex boyfriend (I ended things, if it matters) and my current boyfriend work together, and although they know each other quite well, they are not anywhere near friends. This past weekend, I moved in with my current boyfriend, and he asked some friends from work to help move my stuff.

Imagine my surprise when the ex boyfriend shows up with one of the guys that my current boyfriend asked to help. He knew that it was me whom they were helping, and apparently specifically asked the guy he came with if he could help. It was awkward and a bit embarrassing and I ended up busying myself in other parts of the house until he left.

The ex boyfriend and I are civil to each other when we meet, as we run in the same circles, but that is all. We are not friends, nor do I wish to be friends. In fact, only a couple weeks ago I was told that he had said he couldn't even be in the same room with me.

I love my current boyfriend more than anything, and I couldn't care less what the ex does, but why did he feel the need to intrude on us like that? It bothered me quite a bit and I don't understand why he felt the need to try to insert himself into my life like that.

I suspect he did to for a certain amount of closure for himself. Maybe seeing you and your boyfriend move in together has helped him to get over you, or something like that. I wouldn't read too much into it.
