I have an ex story as well!

[Deleted]

Ok, so you all know what a gigantic d-bag my ex-h was after our divorce. The foreclosure without telling me, stealing my identity over 5 years after our divorce, etc.  He also talked a lot of shit about me to his friends (originally his, which had become close mutual friends to me), and they chose sides (with him - which I completely understand.  was sad, I loved them.)

Since we moved back to the US almost 5 years ago I haven't run into anyone (ex-H or his friends).  One or two friended me on FB, but that's it (and these were more distant friends to him)

Anyway, I was running errands yesterday and came out of a store when I hear someone say my name.  I look up, and its one of the guys I was close to.  He gave me a huge hug and was super chatty and we talked for a while.  His wife was there (I knew her as well back in the day, but she was married to someone else back then - !!!) and I met his kid. 

This made me so happy you guys.  The fact he called out to me, the fact he gave me a hug like "hey, I miss you too", and that he wasn't awkward, etc.

Yay.

The friend was surprisingly open about saying his name vs. just avoiding him all together - but the only thing he mentioned (when we were talking about everyone having kids) was that he was done having kids.

There was ZERO chance I was going to ask any questions because I could care less what that MF'er is up to these days and I didn't want to appear as if I did. So I was at his mercy to volunteer info!

I am forgetting the identity theft story!

Wow, today seems to be "Thank goodness I left that loser" day on GBCN :-)
