I'm on holiday with my husband and six months pregnant bump. We are celebrating a year since our engagement. Everything in life is lovely.
We were just in town popping into a little shop when I quickly pulled hubbie out of the shop as my ex was in there talking to the man behind the counter. I've been with my husband for two years, and we got together almost straight after my and my ex of four years split up.
My ex was a total pig to me and had cheated on me for two years of our relationship. We split as he pulled out of buying a house with me on the day of exchange and confessed his affair. He said he wanted to be honest, the affair was over, before we committed. We limped on for a short time and then I ended it. It was, as you can imagine, not a happy split and the relationship is a very unpleasant memory.
My preference would be to not see this ex ever, ever again. The problem is that we are on holiday for a week in a very small little town/village and I imagine the chances of bumping into him again are pretty high. I told my husband why I had dragged him out of the shop and he got quite upset at the thought of bumping into my ex.
I don't want to hide away all week. What to do? I could email my ex saying I'd seen him, ask him how long he's in the place for and hope it's just the weekend? I don't know anyone who is in touch with him so can't find out how long he's here for without asking him. We've had no contact since I got engaged and told him I wanted his emails etc. to stop.
