More trouble with the ex. His, not mine. Makes a change. Oh wait, lately it doesn't!
Went out on Friday night for his workmate's leaving do, and she was there. She kept talking to her mate and pointing and looking in our direction, in a really over the top drunk way. She was talking to Manc, about Nottingham (as if to ensure I knew that she had been there - wouldn't that have caused some trouble if I hadn't!) and generally making me feel uncomfortable. Fair enough it can't have been easy for her seeing us together, and a lot of it was my own paranoia. Well, some of it. But I would have thought she would have calmed it down a bit and drawn as little attention to herself or us as possible. For her own sake, no one elses.
In the next bar she cornered my friend and was saying that she didn't want there to be any trouble, but was slagging him off somewhat. She moved onto Manc, going on and on while he was pulling faces and she was failing to get the hint. The way she was acting, really over the top with her friends in front of us, and touchy feely, it was as if she was trying to mark her territory. Show me that she is still part of his life whether I like it or not.
Still, if that had been the extent of it I would have stayed fairly sane about the whole thing. But no, she asked him if he was going to introduce us (loudly pronouncing my name wrong, which is quite odd really as I seem to remember her pronouncing it perfectly fine when she barged into his living room to accuse me of being disrespectful). His response was that we'd already (insert expletive) met! But, she said, it wasn't under the best circumstances. Then, turning to me she said I think we may have met. Well yes, I seem to remember some vague situation where that may have been the case. I'm not a bitch. That was her response, not mine.
Isn't it great, we have been properly introduced, and now the three of us will be able to move on and have a great time when we go out for Manc's birthday next week.
Yes. That is correct. She was accidently invited by another friend, who is jointly celebrating his birthday on the same night out. And she thinks its a good idea to come. Knowing that I'm going to be there, with people I don't know and it will all be very awkward.
It just feels like she's making it difficult for us. I know I don't have anything to worry about, I don't think he would want to get back with her or anything like that, but I just don't like the fact that she is going out of her way to still be part of his life. Apparantly, she's not even really friends with the other guy whose birthday it is, yet she's still coming.
I shall be calm. And nice. And play the whole I'm-so-cool-the-ex-doesnt-even-hit-my-radar thing.
Ok, I shall get drunk.
