I just saw him; he is now working 2 streets parallel to me. He looks good; he gives me a hug a kiss on the cheek… Why? I’m the girl he doesn’t remember. The hug is wonderful, I exhale deeply, I’m still attracted to him. I don’t want to be. I’ve fallen for his charm once before, not going to let myself do it again. I deleted his email a few weeks ago, I was strong, I didn’t even open it. He still has that affect on me. I can’t control everything. He is too close.

Ohh wow, that's harsh. Good luck with that. I have no advice. :(
No no no... don't the emotional blackmail creep in. You can do it. 2 streets away is enough to put an emotional distance when you think of all the bad history. Does a kiss on the cheek and a hug undo?
My ex's new boyfriend lives two streets over from my unit and ONE street over (I could see his house) from the place I sold last year and 'Stalker Girl' lives even closer....and sends test messages like there is going to bea prize for the most sent!!!!!! Good Luck
PS: My ex still does it for me...my chest constricts everytime I see her but I don't let her see it (I hope)
No easy fix there. Maybe meet him for coffee now and again, spend time with him but don't give in to anything more - either it'll fizzle over time, or you might end up giving him a second chance. Never say never...
Gosh. If you're feeling chest constrictions you need to put serious gaps between the two of you. Also, write a list of all the things that are crap about him and pin it inside your work jacket.
Isn't Love/Lust marvelous. Uncontrollable, engaging and encompassing it helps us know we are alive. Pain and Pleasure both parts of the game. Good luck with this one!
Thanks Steph…
cBabe – You’re an eastern suburbs girl, I’m on Riley, he is on Bourke, I saw him on Crown! A kiss and a hug does not make it better, one mistake and that’s it in my books (mistake of that magnitude)
scorpy – I’ll take you up on the stalker swap now, I’ll even throw in a couple of extras!
Nick – Coffee? Not going to happen baby! I know I’ll see him again at a birthday party end July (mutual friend) that’s enough. I turn into a giggling mess when I’m around this guy and I have since the first time I met him approximately 4 years ago.
Audrey – I have put a huge strain on what ever our friendship/relationship was, I have declined several BBQ invitations and drinks at the pub invites etc (mutual friends) I know how to protect my little heart.
David – So undeniably true… unfortunately the pain outweighs and outlasts the pleasure in this instance…
Ugh... I feel for you. Just think strong, Nat. One day at a time...
