Long term boyfriend and I broke up a month ago. We tried to be friends after but I eventually told him last week that I could not just be friends as it was hurting me to see him and not be able to cuddle..touch.. etc. So I said if he didn't want a relationship with me right now then I couldn't be in his life right now. He did not like the idea of not having me in his life but agreed that some time apart was good. This convo was approximately a week ago. I haven't contacted him since then and last night, I went out for drinks with a friend (ex-boyfriend from years and years ago that has just become a good friend) and my recent ex was there with his friends at a different table across the room. I said hi to one of his friends that walked by me when I first entered the place, so they knew I was there. We sat at opposite ends of the room for an hour or more until he finally got up and went to pay his bill (which is right beside where I was sitting) and did not even look at me. Just paid and left like I wasn't even in the room. I did not realize we were on "ignoring each other in public" terms as we did not leave each other in a fight or anything. Has this situation become more awkward than I thought it was? Why did he not say hi?
It's simple. He's hurt, he's just seen you with another guy (he may not know its an ex, he may not know what your relationship is with this new guy). He's not trying to be a jerk, just protect himself.
Sorry I should have said this, he knows the guy. He also knows we used to date years and years ago but nothing has happened since then, just still in my group of friends. Do you really think he was hurt/jealous by this? He's the one who said he didn't want a relationship right now... if it were up to me, I would have been at his table with him.. - 18 days ago

He could still be trying to figure it out. But even if he did decide he didn't want to be in a relationship, he would still be upset to see you with an ex (I know I would). This doesn't mean it's a bad thing either, it could make him really consider what he's losing. - 18 days ago

Join the club. I got blindsided 4 months ago by my girlfriend of almost 5 years. Apparently she thinks the grass is greener somewhere else, and that she'll find some hot good guy. They don't exist, but whatever. Anyway, ya I was trying to be the good guy and be friends, but talking to her and acting anything but loving towards each other was so hard for me. We broke off talking, I moved in with a mutual friend (which she told me not to, because she's controlling) and basically am still having a very hard time moving on. She parties all the time, has had multiple sexual partners since, and whatever. He is not paying attention to you to see how you react. He who cares least controls the relationship.
