That was 6 1/2 weeks ago and there has been no contact. (Yeah! Aren't ya'll proud of me?) Reading these boards has really given me strength, along with the fact that I didn't want to risk not getting a return call if I did call and leave a message. As so many of you have posted, weekends are the hardest, especially Friday and Saturday nights as I lie in bed by myself and my mind goes wild with thoughts of him with someone else at that moment. But I am trying to just take it day by day and let nature take its course and heal me. Now comes my dilemma. Our kids go to the same highschool - his son plays on the football team and my daughter is a cheerleader - I know, wierdness. Anyway, with school starting now, this is when I will run into him. He is the type who will purposely walk up to me and be all cheerful and "Hi how's it going?". Argggh. I really don't even want to be nice to him. I've heard a lot of stories about him since we broke up - how he is womanizing and hanging in the bars picking up women. Do I just walk away from him? Do I let him know what I've heard? I don't want to put on my "nice mask" for him, because it's not "all good" between us.

To your questions:
::He is the type who will purposely walk up to me and be all cheerful and "Hi how's it going?". Argggh. I really don't even want to be nice to him.
You don't have to be nice, but you can be polite. "Fine, thanks. I gotta run." Then leave. Make it short.
::I've heard a lot of stories about him since we broke up - how he is womanizing and hanging in the bars picking up women. Do I just walk away from him?
It might work, unless he makes a point to chase after you and try to embarass you.
::Do I let him know what I've heard?
Nope. 1) he doesn't care, 2) it's no longer any of your business (I mean that in the nicest way) what he does or doesn't do.
::I don't want to put on my "nice mask" for him, because it's not "all good" between us.
I hear you, I can't 'fake' niceness either.

I don't know if I'll necessarily have my "nice mask" on, but I'll definitely have the hair/make-up/clothing thing going on.
