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!

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.

I think you should discuss this with your wise and committed new girlfriend.

Just because she looked at you didn't mean she actually saw you.

Trust and believe, she saw me. I wasn't more than ten yards away.

She's a "crazy widow/ex-FWB" according to you.

It sounds like you're disappointed that there wasn't any drama with this non-encounter. Let it go and move on.

You're not speaking to her. Guess she's not speaking or nodding to you.

You keep telling us how you "got over it and moved on" but you start yet another thread featuring the former friend, the crazy widow, the ex-FWB.

Hmmm.

:::big ol' sigh::: Yes, it would be nice if we could all just behave like adults, right?

There's a few ounces for you.

So you actually told your girlfriend you were pissed because your ex-girlfriend didn't wave to you in the parking lot? And she got pissed too?

What kind of crazy soap opera small town community do you live in? Cuz that's weird.

I was thinking the same when I read the post.

Sounds like the crazy widow is at least sane enough to move on with her life and forget about people.
