If I were in better health, and less self conscious about what my illness does to my appearance... I'd fully agree with everything T said. ^^ to the 'T'! <333 (T I love u!!!) XD even with the one exception, my ex... but, I think that would be understandable to anyone... he was disturbed, and extremely abusive towards me for 4 years... I've seen enough of him... I never wish to see him again, under any circumstances... though the run in may be inevitable, since I'm still friends with his sister, and two brothers, and cousin... ugh But, as things are... I'd rather I not bump into them at all~ not that I'd avoid them... and not because there's resentment or hard feelings anywhere... I like to let bygones be bygones, and Pisces father taught me (or maybe it was just a genetic/astro-flaw) to forgive fairly easily (and frequently)... I can't hold a grudge.... it's impossible! I've tried!!! X___X mutable~ I suppose.... I'd rather see everyone I was with healthy, happy, and alive... then think of them in the other regard... hurting, pained, sorrowful, or worse... dead... that's just not me! >.<; no!!! I've run into a few over the years, usually at less than ideal moments (usually out with current SO), and usually, things happened just how T put it... we'd catch up, and usually have some drinks, or just shoot the sh!% for awhile... But, now I feel that it is probably more likely that I'll try not to engage in anything more than social etiquette/graces require, a simple "hello"/acknowledgement (nod, wave)... try to keep a distance. ^^; Maybe one day I'll go into remission and it won't bother me anymore!~ but for now... I hope to have few run ins, and will be cautious when they happen. Not because of any ill feelings towards anyone... or really that I feel they are awkward encounters... but, just self-consciousness, (not vain sort... just want to look healthy, have them remember me as healthy, no pity...)! ^^; 6h Aquarius/Uranus (4h) cnj Venus squaring Ascendant.... ^^; IP: Logged |

One of my good friends from childhood, a May 9th Taurus, did this to me a few years ago after like 25 years of friendship. Thing is, it was just a clumsy email mix-up...she gave me her new phone number and I deleted it by accident, so I asked for it again. Guess that p*ssed her off completely. (???) Really I'm at a loss.

Me, too. Last time I saw my Virgo ex-soulmate, we were at a mutual friend's wedding. We had been ignoring each other for years, and I guess he was suddenly in the mood for a change. So I was talking to yet another mutual friend of ours, and my ex came up and kind of drilled his eyes into me like he was expecting me to talk. I acted completely oblivious to his presence. He left, went outside, where I saw him smoking a cigarette, looking kind of morose. I think that cigarette was for me.  IP: Logged |

In general I have black and white thinking which is a bad tendency I am trying to get rid of.So it is really all or nothing with me and my ex's. Since I am a very sexual and intense person I generally feel somewhat...guilty and almost ashamed and nervous when I see an old ex who I messed around with since I subconsciously will know Wow, all I wanted them was for, well, fooling around [not necessarily straight out sex but still... Cancer Mars makes me guilty very easily, especially since it's my 5th house ruler and in my 8th]. So yeah, I don't even like holding hands with half the people I go out with unless they can break down my walls... it takes a lot for me to feel someone is special and also, break ups can make me have that split thinking of either hating them and undervaluing them and the whole relationship or feeling wistful about it, BUT the latter rarely occurs. So I usually just avoid ex's and if I run into one, I'm cut and dry, hi and goodbye. I might even act arrogant and distant since the whole thing annoys me since it's anxiety provoking and inconvenient, also I don't like pretending like I still care [I'm blunt, aren't I...lol. Blame my Mars-Pluto?] I've yet to act really nice when I see an ex, even if I'm nostalgic. IP: Logged |

Haha... I will be completely oblivious to their presences. Once over, I don't keep them as friends despite my Leo sun in 11th house. I cut ties. Not sure which aspect will contribute to this.Anyway, I look prettier after evey breakup. Yes, that's intentional. oh well, i did tried to keep every relationship running til we hit the crossroad so i truely have no regrets at my end.  Wouldn't mind running into them but they will be strangers.  One ex, Scorpio Sun-Mercury-Venus, who got really angry when i said the day we broke up that I will cut ties if he walked away. He angrily told me that why shut out ppl who know you better than anyone out there? I said cos I only do what makes me happy. We never talked since. He got the idea clear I never wanted him in my life again. IP: Logged |

SMoth, luv you too!  ...yeah, i guess it's not normal, but I don't often end on bad terms in any relationship. And if I cared about you once, I'll care about you forever and would love to talk and see how youre doing, if we bumped into each other. Had a bit of a problem with an ex's new girlfriend (years ago). Ex and I were still best of buds, but she did not want us to be. I can respect that or understand why, definitely. Too bad she really could not understand that we broke up for a reason and there was nothing there, like serioiusly. & i still cared about him as one would a family member and thought we'd always be in touch at least. We both tried to explain our relationship to her, but because we once were together romantically and still lived together broken up for years later, she wanted me far away from him and even said she had a feeling we'd get back together and didnt want that. We had to not have anything to do with each other eventually because it upset her so much. It was set in her mind that I was some sort of threat to her. Oh well. Kinda sucks though. I miss him - friendship-wise sometimes still. I probably couldve been good friends with her too if she wasnt blinded by jealousy and open to it. I think they are happy which is good. I hope he is anyway, since I didnt really know her well, i'd be more concerned about him. He never wanted kids, but she wanted more. Now they have one together......eeek. I'm sure he's....mmm....adjusted to it.  IP: Logged |

...to the above post...did i mention we were both Taureans and got really comfortable and very set in our ways...? lol Imagine that.  oops. Lots of trines made our relationship very easy, but not the most exciting or growthful...imo.
I think Taureans do best with partners who don't let them get too lackadaisical and instead shake them up and challenge them more.  IP: Logged |
