Appears that your upset due to the fact that she did not acknowledge you.
Just outta curiosity, why do you even care? If its attention you seek there are other ways to go about getting it.
Saturday last I was out running errands. I stopped in to a local coffee shop along the way to grab coffee, and as I leave, I see a former friend in the parking lot. The former friend. The crazy widow/ex-FWB. Many of you know the back story.
Anyway, I go to my car with my coffee; she's sitting in her car texting. She looks up, sees me, I begin to nod (just out of politeness....I'm not speaking to her) she looks back down to her phone. Not a word, not a return of acknowledging, not nothing! Like two total strangers!
Five little letters and a hyphen tell me all I need to know.
There is no such thing as FWB. It is a modern myth. A fairy tale.
When two people get naked with each other start bumping uglies, it is an act of intimacy. It creates emotional connection. I don't care how one rationalizes it. I've never heard of an instance of two people having sex on a regular basis where one of the parties doesn't get attached.
And then the other person is actually shocked when that happens, along with the drama that ensues. So when you encounter an ex-lover and she acts flat-out weird, what exactly do you expect?
Given the way you talk about her, my guess is that she dodged a bullet there. My money is on her not wanting to encourage you in any way, shape or form.
That is surely how *I* react to abusive crazy people in public. Just don't acknowledge them. That's the only way to stop the crazy. She did what she needed to do to protect herself - from YOU.

Yeah, except - YOU SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR PEOPLE'S OPINIONS.
If you don't want to hear other people's opinions, don't go onto a public forum and ASK for them.

I was pretty mad about her past behavior - emphasis on was - but that is history now and I'm not one to stay mad. I get over it and move on. But wouldn't you think that someone you knew would at the very least say hello, or give a nod, or whatever?
Oh, and FWIW, we're both in relationships now, so perish what you may be thinking along those lines.
Weigh in on this.
What's to weigh in about? She's moved on. She doesn't want to talk to you. The end. Why are you expending any mental energy thinking about his?
Hahaha! Not to be confused with the commonly iterated question on CD: you're retired now?
Seriously though: she was caught off guard. Who knows if she meant to give you the cold shoulder or not. Also, it's apparent that you're still working through some of your feelings about this. Does that make you an ogre? No. That makes you a human being. These things take way more time than we would hope for. Something went down between you two a year ago, I take it? Totally natural for there to be weirdness when you see her in public.
Just don't make too much of it with the new lady. She may be telling you what she thinks you want to hear, but secretly thinking "Why is this an issue for him?" Just let it go, move on. Enjoy your new relationship.
