Ran into her after 4 months NC

FA Breakup

About four months ago I got discarded out of nowhere. She was the first woman in a long time that I truly loved unconditionally, so it really hurt. I felt awful for the first month but slowly healed and learned a lot and I’ve had a lot of really good fortune and growth since then. Lost 20 lbs, got three promotions at work, etc.

Anyway today I ran into her at a concert with her new guy and her best friend and it was crazy to see how much she’s changed her “type” (her prior ex and I both look sort of similar). Also she hates tobacco and vaping but this guy was ripping the vape nonstop. She gave up her dream career and dropped out of school during our break up and now lives at her brothers house for free and doesn’t do much of anything all day.

Seeing her interact with this guy was weird though, in a way it was weird to see her with someone else but at the same time it was so strange to see how performative she was with him, like obsessively clamoring to him, constantly holding his hand and “towing” him around the place.

At one point she literally bumped into me and my friend group like within arms length and she just looked away and started speed walking. She saw me once or twice and immediately looked away when I caught her looking. I imagine that’s the guilt.

Anyway, it was weird and for a bit I missed the good times but I don’t miss her and I’m so much better off. Furthermore, I’m not going to reach out or anything, I have no desire. I think the no contact has served its purpose.
