My heart skipped a beat. I smiled, he looked and turned his head a kept walking.  The first time i had seen my ex since we split.   It has been 3 months, and about a week ago i was thinking how i had been lucky not to have ran into him.   Well...now it has happend and i feel like shit. 
 
You always think you are over your ex until you see them for the first time- then it hits you right in the gut.  I feel like some one has beaten me to the ground and just kicked and kicked.  
 
Our relationship was a futile one.  Both had baggage.  Both had insecurities.  But he had a temper.  He was really caring and loving, but all the make up hugs and kisses would never let me forget all the emotional and physical abuse.  It took me two years to leave.  I celebrated the next night with my girlfriends.  I was free finally. 
 
Now three months later, i miss him.  I dont know if it is time that waters down all the pain and just makes you remember all the nice things and forget about all the shit. I dont know. I  dont know why i feel so bad seeing him.  I thought it wouldn't effect me.   I guess you can never prepare yourself or establish ahead of time how you will feel or what  you will do in situations like that. 
 
I just hope next time i will be the one to not smile...to just turn and keep walking. Because, i know he doesn't deserve it..

    Are you sure he was abusive, or is it something you maybe tell yourself to make it easier to get over him?

    i guess people have different ranges of what they count as abusive..

    but, spitting in my face, pulling my hair, grabbing me that i got bruises and pushing me to the ground...the list goes on not to mention the verbal abuse....i know that i was lucky he never beat me as such to the extent that i had a black eye..but as time went on it slowly got worse...so who knows if we were still together now what would be happening.

    ..so abusive or not to you...for me yes that counts as abusive...

    over him...yes i think i am.  I think i just freaked out when i saw him...

    I wasn't really implying that he wasn't. I was merely stating that it's all about perspective. For example... spitting, pulling hair, grabbing and pushing could all be carried out in a completely playful or sexual manner, thus the fact that he may have been abusive would, in that case, be irrelevant if he wasn't doing it to hurt you and wasn't aware of the pain he was causing you. However, since you said he was abusive, my assumption would be that he was aware of the pain he was causing you... which makes it completely fucked up, so I'm sorry. I'm glad you're over him, though. Once you find someone who offers you everything you need, you won't think twice when/if you seem him again and you won't smile. Maybe you're just a better person than that and will always be there to smile, despite the pain you've endured. Consider that strength in character.

It had to happen eventually....
I was talking to a friend and she asked what is means to be in a relationship today. She had this same discussion with a male friend of hers. What he said in a nutshell was that today people get into relationships for selfish reasons. One may want a rela...

I dedicate these words to poetzsoul, in hopes that her next 25 years are motivating....
You do not really have to worry whether your ex is thinking about you or not. More than likely, your ex is actually thinking about you even when you don't make any effort....
