Need Advice: Ex-Boyfriend Ignored Me and I’m Weirdly Happy About It

Hey everyone,

I need some advice and maybe a bit of perspective on something that happened recently. So, I ran into my ex-boyfriend, Mark, at a mutual friend’s party. We dated for a couple of years back in college, but things ended pretty amicably. Anyway, he was there with his wife, Kinsley, who is absolutely stunning. Like, seriously, she’s gorgeous and seems super nice too.

Here’s the weird part: Mark didn’t even acknowledge me. He didn’t say hi or even make eye contact. And you know what? I was actually kind of happy about it. I felt this strange sense of relief and even a bit of joy. I mean, I was expecting to feel awkward or maybe even a little hurt, but nope, I was just… happy.

So now I’m wondering, why did I feel this way? Is it because I’ve moved on and I’m genuinely happy for him? Or is it something else? Has anyone else experienced something similar? I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice on this.

Thanks a bunch!
