Thank you everyone for your kind and thoughtful responses. Sorry it has taken me a few days to hop back on but alas the drama never quits.

After I recieved the email and spent the weekend wallowing (I know that doesn't help) I decided to try to help myself. Started forcing myself to get up and get going to be productive, went on long bike rides and did things I normally enjoy to get some peace in my mind and stay busy/active.

Well, the problem with this ex is that she took a job while we were together doing the same thing I do except with a different company BUT even at a different company we are still tied together and always have the chance of running into one another at work functions. It's ben two months since the break up and the inevitable happened. 4 days after the destructive email we ran into one another. I did what I had been telling myself to do in preparation of us crossing paths at some point, I completely acted like she was not there. Didn't even look in her direction, the email of course made this easier to do after her staying she had nothing to say to me yet going on a long winded rant about how horrible I am. How did she react during our first time around one another since the break up and in a very professional atmosphere?? Horrible. While I am the one who has received numerous texts and emails about how crappy I am and how she has nothing to say to me ever again and don't ever contact her she kept looking at me, staring (I could see from my peripheral vision) came in after I sat down and say directly in front of me, talked loudly so I could hear, kept playing with her hair over and over in front of me, for up and moved around talking to various people in my view, stayed long after she was supposed to leave while I sat waiting for my next work load then packed up her stuff loudly announcing she was leaving and staring at me until I felt so uncomfortable that I ohysically turned my back to her to speak to a coworker. I felt this all very immature, an extreme overt attempt over the course of only an hour to gain my attention all while I never looked once at her.

The icing on the cake? We have to do it again next Tuesday. I am a professional and my job is extremely important to me as I love what I do but I am not looking forward to having to be subjected to this behavior again. I absolutely refuse to contact her in any way to give attention to the behavior or ask for it to stop. That's only giving her the attention she was looking for. I refuse to get my work involved because she will, once again, say she wasn't doing anything intentionally then try to make me out to be the "crazy" one. All I can hope for is the behavior stops and isnt a part of my work day next week. I find it very childish and honestly I am confused. If I'm done then I am done. I will avoid, not look at you, and leave the situation as quickly as I can. Yet after the nasty email she sees me and makes such an overt point to try to garnish attention then be in my physical presence as long as humanly possible. Why??? It makes no sense.

Here is to hoping that next Tuesday does not involve the same dramatics and we are not scheduled for another work event where we are forced to be around one another. Sigh...it's not something I am looking forward to dealing with again.
