I was staying after school for tutoring and I saw him heading upstairs which is where I was. but I kept walking hoping I wouldn't have to run into him. but he saw me and started to follow me. Then I hear someone call my name and I turn around and sits him. now he was going to the opposite side of the school so we shouldn't have run into each other. so he must have saw me as he was going up the stairs and decided to go to me. so I turn around and it's him and he just asks 'so.. do you want to talk?' and I look at him for a moment and just say not really and then walk away. it's just I don't get how or why he even had the nerve to come and try to talk to me because all of this was his fault and he's the one who ended it in the first place. it just made me mad but also it just scared me, cause I didn't actually believe he'd try to approach me but he did. and now I have to start from the beginning with the no contact.

damn that sounds intense. do you feel like you want to set clearer boundaries next time, or was this just a total surprise for you?
it was a total surprise but also part of me kind of expected it to happen at some point, but not anytime soon. so the fact that is happened now still shocked me. also because he had earlier opportunities to try to talk to me at other times, but he chose the time when I was alone in the hallway, which makes sense. but it was till sudden.
this is so hard. whenever i had to restart no contact, i’d literally rehearse my reaction in my head so i didn’t get caught off guard. it doesn’t make the pain go away but it makes me feel less powerless.
ugh i’ve been in almost the same spot. my ex cheated and then tried to “bump into me” at school like nothing happened. it’s such a mix of anger fear when they do that. you’re not crazy for feeling thrown off
not sure if you should keep it either. but because it's. not you that initiated it and you tried to avoid him and dissmiss him I guess there's no need
yeah that's what I was thinking
i don't even know if I should restart my NC or not. because I mean I said two words to him and walked away. does it count or should I keep it?
