yeah. i mean if you are in a mutual social situation where she's unavoidable, then obviously being open and friendly is far superior to being bitter and looking ******ed, but if you dont have to talk to her or see her, why do it? especially since many of us don't have the henry-esque emotional detachment necessary to simply snap get over a breakup.
my ex left another guy (bf of 4 years) for me, and about 6 months after she and i got together (and thus after their breakup) he sent her a big tl; dr emo email about how sorry he was for not talking to her and for not making any attempt to be her friend after the break up and that it was just hard for him. he didn't even do anything bitter or rude. she asked me what i thought of it and told me how nice she thought it was, and my blunt reply was that he had nothing to apologize for and had done nothing wrong.
i actually felt really bad for this guy (not a bad dude at all... really nice person). he was the one pushing marriage with this chick, and she left him for me pretty abruptly (seriously this is a fantastic story if you ever want to hear it). he wasn't in any of my classes, but he was in the same building as me for a lot of the school day and definitely knew who i was. he also lived in a neighborhood just one block over from mine and i'd pretty often walk past him to/from school (never said anything).
one day only like 1-2 months after the break up, she and i were walking home from school back to my house holding hands when a bike passed us on the street 3 feet to our left... it was him. he had to have been coming down the sidewalk (you cant cross the street easily) behind us for at least 100 yards and it was unmistakably her and i.
a few weeks later she was leaving my house early in the morning after spending the night, and i see him biking by to go to school and he looks over just in time to see us leaving the house. **** like this happened all the time. i dont know how the guy didn't kill himself/me.
apparently he also started doing a lot of drugs, and his mother one time after the break up showed up at my ex's parents house (for a different purpose facially) in tears sobbing about how she had lost her son and he had lost his faith and was doing drugs and how she missed my ex's family, etc. etc.. it was really awkward, and my ex's mom was trying everything she could to get the lady to leave without feeling terrible.
this girl has, could you say, a nose for drama.
