I ran into one of my ex husband's best friends this weekend at a concert. It was a buzz kill. He wished me the best and talked to me for a minute, but I felt awkward. I had unfriended he and his wife and all of my ex's friends when we separated a year ago. We had been friendly with each other at one point in time and had somewhat become friends. I had gone to the beach with his wife once, just the two of us. But things got weird after my ex and I separated. I sent a few texts to this friend's wife. screenshots of texts between my ex and I. I was trying to prove to this friend's wife that my ex had been abusive. She never replied to those texts and didn't block me. And I only did this twice. Once, and then a couple months later, once again.
I was with a date when I ran into this friend of my ex's. The friend looked my date up and down. My date's hair resembles my ex's. Dark hair with silver streaks and a beard. My ex has a gotee though, not a beard. And my date is a lot thinner than my ex. But still, the hair is very similar so it appears like I am attracted to the same type as my ex husband.
I am not going to stop going to these events, as certain members have suggested I do. It's not so bad that I don't want to go to these events. But it was awkward for me, and it preyed on my mind a little bit during the show. I was wondering where the friend was sitting and if he could see me dancing up front with my date. My date and I stood in the very front row in front of the stage and were highly visible.
I still had a good time at the show, nonetheless. My date was affectionate and fun to dance with. We had a good time together.
