Today, my ex, for whom I still have feelings, introduced me to his new girlfriend. To make things "less awkward," he invited a mutual friend of ours. However, the last time I'd seen this friend, it was a week after my ex and I had broke up, and we hooked up. Awkward doesn't cover it. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was hanging out with my ex's new girlfriend. I found out he was dating us both at the same time and was comparing between us. That is why he broke up with me two years ago and is still with her ever since. FML
Today, I told my friend that I insisted on to remaining single, but yet he still wanted to introduce me to a friend of his. Turns out it was my ex, whom I haven't talked to for 5 years. FML

Today, I saw my ex and his new girlfriend walking towards me. To make things less awkward, I tried to be cool and give him a high five. He misjudged and went for a fist bump. I ended up slapping his hand, and it felt like it lasted forever, all while she just smirked at me. FML

Why didn't you say you needed more time before seeing them.

This is why you should talk about it with your ex before this thing could happen. FYL OP

One of the most awkward situations I've heard! Hopefully it wasn't too bad, maybe you could have made an excuse not to go if you knew beiges hand the friend was going

Your fault for not being able to control yourself.

If you still had feelings then I don't think meeting the new girlfriend was a smart idea. FYL for sure. In time you will get better though.

That sucks OP. The fact that he tried to make it less awkward for you, is sweet though, it sounds like you're both trying to treat each other with respect and want to stay involved in each other's life, which is nice. Good luck on getting over the awkwardness.

Anyone else think her ex already knows about her hooking up with their mutual friend? Sounds to me like they're still friends and ex is just trying to help her out. Still, teh awkward.

It was the hooking up with one of his friends that threw me. Not the best way to get your ex back.

The breakup couldn't have been that distressing for you if you decided to hook up with someone just a week after breaking up with your ex.

Well since you hooked up with that mutual friend of your and your ex ONLY a week after you broke up I'm going to say you never really loved your ex it was only an infatuation you felt towards him...

You know this kinda makes sense. I was once infatuated with a girl for the longest time even though I never really knew her. I sometimes think we fall in love with the idea of who someone is and not the real person.
