A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

About a month and a half ago my boyfriend, "Greg", told me that he wanted us to break up because he had just lost his job and was going through a lot and said he just couldn't focus on a relationship at the moment. I had feelings for him so I took it kinda hard, especially since he stopped responding to my texts and wouldn't talk to me anymore. We are both firefighters, and last night there was a beef and beer benefit at one of the local firehouses, so I went with a girlfriend of mine and met up with a guy I had just started talking to, "Joe". We all got a little drunk and were having a good time talking at the bar when all of the sudden "Joe" leans in and kisses me. I pushed him away, laughing, and then looked up to see "Greg" looking at us and then he just walked past.

"Greg" stayed at the one end of the bar the entire night talking to people, while I socialized and danced and tried to pretend that I was happy and having a great time, but everytime I would look up at him he was watching me like a hawk, but never came up to me to even say hi. I gave "Joe" a few friend-like hugs while we were all joking around and laughing, and then a slow dance came on and me and my girlfriend starting dancing with each other. Well, "Joe" cut in and I started to dance with him, and he tried to kiss me again. I told him no, clearly shaking my head and laughing it off, and out of the corner of my eye I see "Greg" storm out of the party looking furious.

I texted him a few minutes later like, "Damn, can't say hi?" and he immediately texted back furious about me "hanging all over 'Joe' and kissing him" saying I was trying to "rub it in, and that I don't see him doing that with girls, but two can play this game". I responded back reminding him that he was the one who had broken up with me and had told me to see other people, so I didn't understand why he was upset, but he never responded back. Since then he has ignored my texts yet again, but now I can't help but feel I've made a horrible mistake. What does all this mean? What should I do? Why would he act like that when he made it pretty clear he didn't want to be with me??
