This afternoon, I went out with the bf for some errands-I know, as usual. Anyway, after it was done, he wanted to eat. We first ate dessert and then went on to buy chilli dog. At the chilli dog stand, I placed our order and went back to the pick-up truck. The bf didn't want to eat outside as it was hot and he preferred the cool confines of the cab. While waiting for our food to be ready, the bf and I talked.
Beside the stand was a bar that doubled as a poker place. I had seen my ex-boyfriend or former fiancee (not the one working overseas) here on several occasions. I was hoping he wouldn't be there that time. I was not as lucky because he went out after a few minutes. I just kept quiet and didn't mention anything to the bf. The ex looked pathetic. He was skinny, looked older and missed a tooth! Imagine that! He was only three years older than I but he aged, in my opinion. He used to be youthful when we were still together. I waited for him to get back inside but didn't. So I went down and got our food. He saw me and called my name. I pretended not to hear him and ignored his presence. He went in and called his friend. His friend pretended to call on his phone and loudly said I was looking for the ex and vice versa. I didn't pay them any notice so they went back in after that.
The bf didn't observe anything out of the ordinary. He does not really recognize the ex and will only know him if I point him out. I was happy he didn't hear my name being called because it would have been another cause for bickering-and I wouldn't be able to eat chillidogs anymore.
It made me realize how lucky I was to have gotten out of the relationship when I did. The ex never improved himself after all these years. He is still the same person and probably is even going downhill from what I can see. Besides, if I stayed with him, I wouldn't have an absolutely adorable baby boy.
