OF COURSE It would happen to me!

Last night, while at a Omaha Symphony Orchestra performance, Ghosts of Boyfriends Past came up to bite me in the butt.

Sigh. Seriously.

I was a friend’s concert and a guy that I went out with 3 times 2 years ago was there.

Oh, not only was he at this concert with about 400 people in attendance. But he sat RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! 

A backstory: he’s related to my friend’s co-worker (who is now a friend of mine) I found this out when I met this co-worker in December. We laughed about it. Never in a million years did I think I’d see him. Or sit less than a foot away from him!

So that was awkward.

But it gets worse!

There was a reception afterwards ($75 or you had to be on the list. I was on the list, thankyouverymuch!) And co-worker and his boyfriend and my bestie and I were all sitting together. Since co-worker and This Ex are related they had to say hi. So he comes over WITH HIS FIANCE! to talk to co-worker. I am having a discussion with co-worker’s boyfriend. And then there’s a tap-tap-tap on my shoulder.

Yup. You guessed right, the Ex wanted to say hi and introduce me to his fiance. Oh yeah. Did I mention that HE STARTED DATING HER AFTER WE BROKE UP? I am Good Luck Chuck. I quit.

I stood up, he introduced us, I was polite, sweet and ON. He was saying “Melissa and I…” And then his fiance interrupted him. I really wish I knew what he was going to say! I ended up saying “Ex and I went out a few times a couple of years ago!” It was fine. We were laughing about how small the world is. That’s because his fiance is cousin’s with my rooomie and co-worker!

I GIVE UP! Gah.

Oh yeah, Ex Man Friend was supposed to be there too, but he texted me and said he wouldn’t be able to make it. Probably for the best, let’s be honest. That would have been 2 exes in 1 room with me.

I need to move. Far, far away. I’ve dated too many men here in Nebraska. I can’t get away from my exes. They just keep coming out of the woodwork.
