When Old Meets New

Well, I can go ahead and scratch "Have Awkward Moment When Ex Sees Me With New Guy" off my Things to Do List. Said event happened to today at church.

I invited EP to church with me and he accepted. Background info is that my ex and I attend the same church and that's how we met. Situations like this can cause a flurry of stupid things to worry about for a woman. Items include, but are certainly not limited to:
"Do I warn him (new beau) just in case and to be nice?"
"Do I warn him (old beau) just in case and to be nice?"
"Does it even $#@$#@ matter?"

It was not nearly as awkward as one would imagine and I'm kind of proud of myself for not turning into live nerve-ending. I decided to just roll with it. Didn't warn the ex and instead, made a superfluous 2 sec phone call to the new beau this morning babbling something like, "Can't remember if I told you, but my old boyfriend goes to the same church. He could be there this morning. Isn't an issue for me, may not be an issue for you either, just wanted to give you a heads up in case." And EP was totally cool about it. He never ended up having to see/talk to the ex because he (EP) had to leave right away to study. Instead, I was able to catch up with some other good church friends and the ex came up to me for about 30 seconds to say hello. (He didn't look so good; either tired/hungover or depressed) Very anticlimatic. Just the way those moments should be.
