It was a very messy breakup and he called me terrible names and told people things about me that weren't true, like I was stalking him, sitting on his doorstep etc. He betrayed me, I suspected he was two-timing and he led me on when he had no intention of having a serious relationship with me. I tried to smooth things over for a while and sort things out so we could be friends, because I don't like bad feeling. He refused to speak to me if he saw me and would blatantly ignore me if I even tried to say hello. So after a while, I just gave up even trying to speak to him even to say hello. I heard on the grapevine a while ago that he had someone else,and just thought good luck to him. I have no feelings for him now. The other day, I happened to walk past him in the street and just walked past him. As I did, he looked and smiled at me. That was the first time he has acknowledged me in a long time. I ignored him and walked past. It left me wondering why he should acknowledge me after all this time and after everything that happened? Would appreciate your feedback- sorry it's so longwinded. Thanks x

he sounds awful. but maybe time has changed him and he's matured emotionally since you broke up. Perhaps he just felt like it was time to be friendly and bury the hatchet after all this time. I wouldn't read too much into it and let it go. He sounds like bad news.

You'll probably find that he's no over the break up, and is feeling very neutral. Therefore it made acknowledging you far more easy for him.
I would be cautious as to what you make of this. Many people sit there wondering what ex's have been thinking or doing, and have wasted a huge amount of time. My bet would be it was merely a polite acknowledgement and nothing else.
