Ran into an ex. I’ve moved on but has he?

[Anonymous]

Ran into my friends with benefits (on and off for a couple years) the other night at a birthday party. I expected him to be there as he’s related to the birthday girl. We had not see each other in about 4 years and I ended it by completely blocking him on everything. My sanity was worth it and no matter what he was never going to take me seriously. Everyone knows - EVERYONE (family/friends/our social circle) we dated / we seeing eachother for a while. Anyways, fast forward, I am now married and with a 6 month old. He is single (31) and no kids. So during the function he kept making eye contact with me and I would hold it but look away. Wouldn’t hold it for long but wanted to let him know that I’m not bothered by his presence. Friends told me he would look a lot at me and my baby throughout the entire night. The last time I talked to him was 3 years ago when he texted me asking me if I was still single and I said no and he apologized for taking me for granted and that I didn’t deserve all the disrespect. I said that’s life and that I had truly liked him for all those years. Then I blocked him.

The night of the function though makes me feel he was regretful due to him constantly making eye contact with me. I wouldn’t deliberately try too. What is your perspective?

Sounds like he feels like he fucked up and knows he'll never get a chance again

I dont think you're constantly on his mind all these years but you being there kinda took him down memory lane of what he could've had

Oh well at least he knows forsure now

He has probably moved on but is not actually over the situation. There’s a difference. I’m sure he knows there will never be a future for you two but it sounds like he regrets how he treated you and could still be upset that you blocked him and completely cut him off years ago. That usually destroys a man’s ego lol. I wouldn’t think too much into it though.

nah i just think he since you have a kid it's kind of weird to see an ex that now is married and has a kid. i'm sure anyone would do the same.

He probably regrets the situation but it’s the past you now have a family and a kid.


It’s good you ended things with him and now have a family.


Hopefully he learned from his past mistakes, and takes the next person serious instead of wasting their time.


U made the right choice , he fucked up and will regret it for a long time.

He might regret the situation, but let's be real, it's not like it matters. You're married and have a kid now. The fact he isn't in that same situation should tell you that he probably hasn't come around to being the settling down type.

Sounds like he has some regrets.
