Was she trying to avoid awkwardness?

Question - (26 January 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 26 January 2011)
A male United States age 30-35, *ringobeaner writes:

The story is, I see my ex-girlfriend (was seeing another guy during our relationship and lied to my face bout it, reason for "ex" we aren't friends.) at a bus stop and I was with my other friend and just hung out there. she's usually around her friends but this time she was alone, so I was staring at her and I see her playing with her phone and it'd look like she was doing something but I knew she wasn't and she couldn't look at my direction or walk it or look up at all.

So I kind of laughed about it because I knew what she was doing and for what reason. So I needed to get my binder from where I left it in my local gas station and I had to walk through her in a way, and the old me would have taken a detour to avoid awkwardness but I said "You know what who care's I need to get my binder and I'm not gonna let her be in the way". So I just walked by her, with no anger or any expression, just a regular face, and I turned back because I've forgotten my friend and right when I turned around she walked the opposite direction from me right away.

We were standing for a little while now and I knew she didn't want to walk by me. I laughed about it even more.

I don't know for sure what this means but I guess it was to avoid awkwardness or something but what do you think?

Thanks for reading and answering

Honeypie agony auntLet it go. Think of it as - Her Loss!

She most likely was uncomfortable, but whether there were any deeper thoughts then that? *shrug* who knows?

Abella agony aunti think she is still regretful and ashamed that she cheated.

She also took her cue from your behavior. You gave no indication that she meant anything to you now. That's part and parcel of of a rejection.

So she was not going to chance speaking to you, just in case you revealed an emotion she did not want to endure.

Such as your contempt, disgust.

So the painful feelings she has are still there. You may not feel any of those feelings.

But her regret and feelings of shame were obvious. If you asked her she might react with bravado and deny it. But actions always say more than words.
