after 5 years of imagining the scenario I saw the OW

H 5years ago had a short term EA that turned physical. I found out and tore the OW a new one on fb message. Her DH had suspicions too but she had deleted my H off of her fb page so he only knew my H from first name and couldn't contact me. He intercepted the message I sent her (I was very drunk) and they moved away very shortly after and I assumed made a go of things.

Me and H also tried again and put it behind us.

For years now since finding out I fantasized over how I would confront her and what I would say and do, usually horrible nasty words.

Today the day finally came, me and H were out celebrating our anniversary and I noticed a lady kept turning her head behind her to look at me. I caught her eye and realized who it was after a while She looked so sad and like a dear caught in the headlights. I waited until she looked at me again and I politely smiled at her and waved!

WTF....

She gave me a slight smile and nodded her head.

Did I just do a grown up thing there?

I didn't say don't listen to other peoples' opinions, I said pay no heed to what other people would/wouldn't do. Distinct difference there.

I think I would have done something similar! You've let her know that you've spotted her but you haven't caused a fuss.

Did he not ask who you were waving at?

I'd recognise a face from a photo, in fact I have in very similar circumstances. That's what humans are good at.

Good for you OP for keeping your dignity.
