                One weekend my wife and I, 6 months pregnant, were at the mall shopping for some stuffed toys for our soon to be newborn. We were walking through the aisles of clothes and toys because my darling wife just had to look at the clothes and wanted to spend my money. From across the room I saw her, my ex-girlfriend. We broke up the day that I told her I wasn’t the type to marry and I planned on staying single the rest of my life. I am sure she will understand it was just because I didn’t find her attractive anymore once she sees me with my wife. I tried to break it off the nicest way as possible. I just hoped she wouldn’t come walking my way. As we started moving down the aisle we got closer to her and she stopped me and talked to me. It was awkward introducing her to my wife who right away asked how we knew each other. I told her she is my former girlfriend and then she asked me who the pregnant woman is and I told her that was my wife. She had a blank stare on her face as if she didn’t know how to respond. Then after an awkward silence she said it was nice to see me again and nice to meet you to my wife and left. She didn’t have a hint of anger or sadness in her voice, just a lot of disappointment. I could tell she really loved me and I felt bad for doing what I did to her but me and my wife are happy and I don’t regret any time we had spent together. I am looking forward to my new baby boy and I am letting the past be the past. It was so awkward at first but now looking back I think that she will be able to get over it and move on with her life just like I did. There is somebody for everybody out there and hopefully soon enough she will find that somebody in her life who makes her feel special and loved.
