I had been dating this guy, 3 years my senior, for about a year and a half. and everything was great, but over this past summer, i broke up with him b/c i fell inlove with someone else. we had a really bad break-up, but we were on and off a little while after that b/c i was afraid to completely break off in fear of regret.

But after thinking long and hard about it, i decided it would be best to completely end it. that didn't go to well. but he is REALLY good friends with my aunt,Maria, and the rest of my family for that matter. and he comes to my aunt's house,her job, and our family parties, and he knows very well that i will be at all these places. But when he sees me, he stays completely away from me. I don't get it?? why would he come if he knows i'm gonna be there. and to be honest, my family parties arent that fun, so i know thats not why he goes.. What should i do when i'm around him? b/c i still have some small feelings for him, but they're more b/c i like attention. How should i deal with this? and do you think my aunt is maybe trying to get us back together? HELP!

I think you should have a word with your aunt, if she is inviting him then ask her to stop, she could harbour ideas of you two getting back together. You need to tell her straight. If he still goes to all the places that you do and don't make any attempt to speak or come forward then just hold your head up high and live your life. He will get bored with it all in time. Some people find it very hard to let go and get on with their own life. Just get on with yours.

Enjoy your future!

Take care

Sally R. Cinnamon agony auntHi there. Your ex is making it hard for you, by appearing at these parties and not talking to you.

* Is he angry with you for the break up?

* Is he trying to demonstrate that he's okay without you and doesn't need you?

* Perhaps he gets a little bit of revenge from making you uncomfortable.

* Perhaps he really just wants to stay in touch with your family but finds it too hard to talk to you so keeps his distance?

There could be lots of reasons for his behaviour. If you are totally confused and just don't know, I wouldn't bother guessing him. Just run along with how your ex wants to play this - if he doesnt want to talk to you at parties then make that fine by you. He's the one who is hurting most after the break up and hes got to find his own way of dealing with it. So just let it wash over you. Relax. Act yourself. Don't lead him on. Don't puzzle desperately over his behaviour, just let it be.

As for the Aunt, she may just be inviting this guy to parties just because she is friends with him and with no secret desire to get you back together. Again, I cant tell you. Even if she is, she'll soon enough grow out of it. You've made a decision not to go out with him, it sounds like a good decision given what you say about liking the attention, so stick with it. Your aunt can't change your mind.
