SCANDAL!
I just met the ex’s new beau for the first time! I’m tempted to insert something caddy here but what would be the point. I’m loathe to admit it but he seemed like a nice guy. Personable and friendly. I could tell they were a bit nervous but I guess that was expected under the circumstances. That said, I find I harbor no resentments toward him. He had nothing to do w/the breakup so no sense projecting my issues onto him. (Well, none that I am aware of anyway) The ex seems to be happy w/him so no need for me to pass judgement. If it works, good for him. If not….well, I’ve been true to my own principles thru the whole ordeal so my conscience clear.
I was a bit surprised at myself. I thought I might be upset or annoyed at meeting him. Neither of which happened. I’ll admit, I had a quick pang of jealousy but then I remembered everything that happened thru the break up and since and that disappeared in a flash. The truth is, as painful as the breakup was for me, I think it was for the best. Knowing all the things I know now I guess I have a better perspective of it. As for the ex and his new beau, I wish them all the best.

Moby, you are full of nice karma! I don’t think I could be as nice.
I met my ex’s new boyfriend on accident.
The ex and I used to be bar regulars at a nearby T.G.I.Fridays. Right before Christmas, I went in to Friday’s to watch some basketball and have a couple of brewsky’s.
I was talking about my trip to Eastern Europe and noticed this guy across the bar was looking at me in a queer way. (literally.) He moved closer to me and explained that he of Lithuanian heritage and inquired about my trip there.
Then he started telling me things about myself that a total stranger wouldn’t know.
Then he got a phone call, at the bar. Listening, I realized that he was talking to the ex! OMFG.
Like your ex’s friend, this guy was polite, and attractive and seemed normal. I politely bid my farewell and shook his hand. He gripped my hand in a friendly way and I fled.
I was kind of pissed leaving the bar, because the new friend recognized me and was not truthful at first. At the time, I was glad the ex had found someone.
I found myself liking my ex’s new man (when they first got together) even though we had only talked on the phone. Then, when I went to her place to see the baby a couple years later I met him in person and was completely non perexed. He is in fact a great guy and I prolly wouldn’t mind hanging out with him. Very endearing. Ahhh
