I don't have him in my classes anymore. So, the chances of me running into him are slim. I hope the out of sight out of mind approach would work. I am sure he feels at least slightly bad because he had told me earlier that he needs my support and mentoring. But I need to protect myself and I can't sympathize. He has a fiance after all for support. So there is that.

I have to take baby steps and acknowledge the fact that's probably a little hard for him too since he is used to visiting me often and doing chit chat. He sent me an email over the summer (despite the fact he was not taking any classes) and came to my office for chit chat. How crazy is that?

Past is past. Moving on.. one step at a time.
