UGH!!!!!!!!! I ran into my ex husband, not just ONCE last night, but TWICE, at a concert.

Why did I have to look down when he saw me? As though I cannot hold my head high? As though I am ashamed??? Has he beaten me down this badly????

When I first saw him as we were walking into the venue, I closed my eyes immediately and looked downwards at the ground while I was walking towards him.

As I've mentioned in this thread, he's completely ignored an email I sent him two weeks ago, announcing my achievement in getting a new job plus a 20K raise. He couldn't reply to just simply congratulate me...

so, why am I holding my head down?????? I should be holding my head high!!!! This was a HUGE achievement, after being unemployed for the last 6-7 months and after being essentially fired from my last job!

What is wrong with me?????? I am SO frustrated with the healing and recovery process right now.

And THEN, I not only saw him when walking into the concert, once we were at our row trying to get to our seats, he was standing only just a few feet away from me! I immediately turned away so as not to make eye contact. I am not sure if he saw me the second time.

I am really not happy with how I handled running into him.

And yes, this is a concert that I had planned on long ago and decided to still attend because it's a favorite musician, the tickets were pricey, and the venue is large enough that I didn't think it was likely I would see my ex husband.. was I ever wrong! GRRRRRRRR.
