Hi,
Myself and my ex broke up nearly a year ago now. He instigated it after 2 years together. Really messy, nasty breakup on both sides. However, he harassed me for months afterwards by getting his friends to bully me over text etc. In the end I left college because I had severe depression and needed to remove myself from the situation before it escalated further.
He recently turned 18 (yep, I know how immature we sound. Believe me, I'm ashamed of how we both acted) and so he's out in town a lot more now. We have a lot of mutual friends as we went to school/college together. He's completely gone off the rails since we broke up. I understand that everyone has different ways of dealing with breakups. A year on, though, I'd hoped we'd at least be civil for the sake of our friends.
Last weekend I caught him staring at me a lot. He would ignore our mutual friends if I were there, as well, and refused to even be near me. He looked pretty scared of me and would try to turn back on himself/run away whenever he came near me, unless I didn't notice and then he would happily be fairly near me. My friends think that he's quite scared and probably thinks I'm still really angry with him, but I'm not sure whether he hates me or not.
I'm thinking about approaching him, maybe just a smile and a wave, to break the ice and hopefully ease the tension between us. What do you think?
tl;dr: Ex broke up with me a year ago, nasty break up, see each other out and he makes it awkward for mutual friends by running away/avoiding me. My friends think he's scared that I'm still angry. Do I try to break the ice to ease tension?
Put the internet to work for you.
