Celadon Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 What really kills me about the post-breakup situation is when the ex says, "Well, let's be cordial when we see each other." First, that's insulting. I'm not about to haul off and scream at him in public; never did, never would. Second, I remember many times DURING our relationship when he wasn't at all "cordial" toward me -- he'd sulk, throw temper tantrums, accuse me of stuff I wasn't doing. So NOW he wants to institute a "cordiality" rule? Get real!! :splat: Link to comment
southerngirl Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Yeah just ignore him then. Sometimes theres just nothing more to say. Link to comment
TheRedQueen Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Classic case of projecting. Thank god that this guy is no longer your boyfriend, and that he can now be officially classified as an ex....Next? Link to comment
iamteddybearfeelmecuddle Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I agree, that he is probably projecting. He may have had some nasty spats with exes in the past. In which case just ignore him and if you have to see him do just what you would anyway, be 'cordial', but if I were you I'd be leaning more towards avoiding him a bit. Link to comment
hjc Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Think about it like this..he's said something that you find insulting, but actually he's scared of what you might do. That gives you some power...not saying you should threaten (or indeed do) anything. Just know that he has an inbuilt fear of something that you know won't happen. Hold that thought of power over him...and know you could one day use it (I don't recommend, but you could enjoy the power)... Link to comment
joyce1412 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 eww. that's disgusting. it's hard enough dealing with ex gf/ex bf relationships, but the guy has to actually request cordiality? LAME. i'm sorry. he shouldn't be throwing rules at you to make himself feel less guilty. Link to comment

Scout Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 What really kills me about the post-breakup situation is when the ex says, "Well, let's be cordial when we see each other." I know what you mean. It's like, that's what you're primarily concerned about?? Post-breakup etiquette when we see each other in public????? Link to comment
