sam chalmersThe awkward "Ex-Encounter"
April 26th 2006 12:33
When an ex begins a new relationship it can trigger feelings of confusion or failure. It is in fact some women’s worst nightmare as they imagine themselves never falling in love again and never being happy because she will always have that image of her ex with another woman.
I, like most other Australian women, have been a victim of failed relationships. The first was particularly difficult as we broke up and got back together three times in the space of six months. Eventually we parted ways after attempts at a friendships ended in bitchy comments flying from one to the other, about the most hurtful as well as pitiful things. To make matters worse he got together with one of my closest friends, which just re-opened old wounds and caused tension and a great deal of uncertainty and awkwardness around her, let alone when I even caught the slightest glimpse of them together. I thought just not being with him was bad enough, I never suspected seeing him with a new partner – friend or not – would hit me so hard.
Does this hit a nerve with anyone else out there?
