So ex, broke off in March. Friend told me he still likes me. I still like him. We haven't talked/seen each other for months. Saw each other again like 2-3 weeks ago. Conversation formal: work related stuff. We are coworkers working different departments. He flirted during our meeting. I flirted back. Got a call last week asking me to hang out this weekend. Received a text saying he couldn't make it. Going back to his brother place this weekend in to see World Cup cause he hasn't see the brother in awhile and they are going to have a party up there.

I am upset. Guess this relationship is really over. Am I being unreasonable? I feel unimportant. I don't mean much to him.

Input?

You don't have time for flakiness and drama.

Time to move on!

If the reason you broke up is completely over and in the past (like an argument that seems silly now, or a misunderstanding), and you really do want to get back together, I'd let it slide. Your plans were to "hang out," which doesn't mean much, and he's going to see a brother who doesn't live nearby. You work with him and can see him whenever, presumably. Shrug it off this time. If he does that again soon, stands you up, or makes a habit of it, or if you broke up because he's a flake, then don't bother.

Let me get this straight. He threw an opportunity to get a GF away to go watch soccer? Why on God's green earth would you even remotely want anything to do with him?

Sigh, I know I should let it go, and you do make sense. but I am so turned off by his behavior. I know it's his brother. It is the first time he stood me up. Brother is more important, but , I couldn't help but think that I would visit my brother another time and spend time with him since I haven't seen him in a while. He likes to have fun and I am his backup. urghh!!! What a jerk!

I love the way you say this. Speak my mind. Verbalize it better than I do. I am so bitter. You know what...he is out the door! My heart churned just thinking about this. How dare him cancel on me soccer If he wanted to visit his brother, he can go any other time.

If you are broke up and this was not an actual date what do you care and why so bitter?
You haven't seen each other in months and you seriously think you were his first choice?
Considering he dumped you for soccer I would say he made plans with you until something better came along.
If he was actually out the door there would be no contact and you would have already moved on.

Just a wee bit of advice, do not date someone you work with, even if it is a different department. These relationships rarely end well for anyone involved and it tends to feed the gossip group at work as well.

Another thing, I'm curious why you would say "How dare him cancel on me for soccer and his brother"?
Isn't it best to be put aside before you have sex with him then he disappears again?
