I ran into the T I saw last year when I was going to the gym. Given ethics she wasn't allowed to say anything to me, which was nice. I just walked past her. She met my eyes but turned hers away first. It kind of threw me a little to see her. I just had to share with people who would understand.

Oh yeah, that is an intense moment every time. Seeing an old T.. it's so emotionally charged, it's almost like seeing an ex-bf or something just because of the intimacy of the relationship, only different since you know they can't be the first to approach. Safer, but still.. awkward.

How are you doing now?

Hey Jexa.

I'm feeling better now. Since this is the week I don't go see T, it made me miss her a lot. We didn't really get on well, which is why I think it was so awkward. Had it been pretty much any of my other past Ts, I would have said 'hi'. But with this person I just felt better not acknowledging her. I was wondering what she was thinking because she did smile when she saw me. But not enough to say hi.

I know how you feel. I attend the same church as my last T. I saw her for a long time. I knew her before I started attending the same church. I've been there eleven years now, so I've dealt with this for a while. I saw her tonight at church and thought to myself how thankful I am that I don't see her anymore and how thankful I am that I now have the best T on the planet. My old T just has an awkward presence and I always feel judged around her.
Thanks for this!

Ethics.....meh

My old t was one of my best friends up until a few months ago. I saw her for almost 3 years and she terminated our professional relationship because she couldn't cope with me
We've been on holidays together, dinners, our immediate families were close too and she adored my kids which was very important to me.

Weird really now I look back on it...
Thanks for this!

Wow that's intense. It would scare me to run into a past T. Like it would undo all the magic (if they were good). And I can think of a past T it would be really horrible to run into. Hope you're feeling better, googley.
Thanks for this!

Yikes....that IS awkward....It's hard to see them as human beings, especially when caught off-guard like that....Even when my current T is in the parking lot, I find that I want to duck and hide. LOL....
