What to say?
Hello people,
I am looking for a brainstorm. I keep wondering what I could say if i ever run into my ex again. He hurt me in a deep way by making me pregnant after many years together and then panicking and leaving me. We chose the pregnancy consciously together. During the first months he acted like i never existed and when he did acknowledge me, he was mean and selfish. It was a nightmare. The pregnancy eventually ended in an horrific way. Even then he acted like a terrible person. I dont know how else to describe it. He is a classic avoidant who fled into another relationship within weeks with his employee. (Found out later) I have had a very rough year mentally because of all of this. In the whole process I tried to stay as respectfull as possible; because a relationship ends, you dont have to mentally kill somebody you used to love right? I never got the respectfull closure a long term relationship like ours deserves.
Now i keep having dreams about seeing him but being too stunned to say something. I’d love to prepare myself for when that moment comes in real life. (Maybe the dreams stop too when i know i am prepared). But what do i say? I’d like to say something to acknowledge my own pain. But i do not want to be disrespectfull. I dont want to be passive agressive. If he decides to ignore me, i do want to walk up to him and be present. What would you do?
