Ex in my group of friends

    hey everyone,

    just wondering if anyone out there had an ex who was in the close circle of friends? how did anyone handle it or what was the best way to do things?

    basically me and ex have the same circle of friends so i see him up and down a fair bit, a lot of the time this involves going to his house who he shares with mutual friends. As i'm hanging out with the group it doesn't feel strange to me but his behaviour seems different toward me.....a bit like i'm invisible? he's not rude or anything like that but i don't think we've had a single one to one conversation and id never hear from him if i weren't hanging out with our mutual friends. should i be picking up a hint here to kinda ignore him or eff off? back story is he dumped me after 2 years in November, broke my wee old heart....so i guess i'm trying to balance being the ex with being one of the group and having the craic..... sorry for the rambling

    He's ignoring you because you've had a relationship, one that he obviously hasn't gotten over. He may even realise that he can't expect you to drop your friends because they are mutual, and he is trying to be calm about the whole situation.

    Ignore him. You don't have to be cold about it. But don't expect anything from him, even a proper conversation.

    He could be keeping his distance to make sure that any potential new girlfriends aren't put off....

    Think about it you wouldn't be as attracted to a fella or bother making as much effort if a fella still had his ex on the scene.

    Its probably best for both of you if you try to move on to other circles of friends.....I say that because if the events/get togethers are at his house then you don't have much choice!
