Long but please please please read. i need someone to talk to.
So me and this guy dated for 4 months and he broke up with me in October. (6/5/11-10/5/11). But me and him are still friends and everything. But today, we were in gym and my friend matt, who's also friends (kinda) with my ex, was telling me that my ex's other friend alex has been saying really.. nasty rumors about me and my ex just because he was jealous of us. ( because he used to like me alot ). And matt said he's been starting these rumors while we were going out and im just now hearing about it. Apparently alll of their friends know about it too. And alex asked me out after me and my ex broke up and i said no so he started more rumors. So my ex saw i was reallyy mad in gym and he actually came over and talked to me. ( our friendship is still in that awkward stage so it was shocking ) We were outside playing kickball and i was at 2nd base and he was running the bases and he stopped at 2nd base and stood really close to me, looked me in the eyes, and gave me that " im sorry" look he gave me when he broke up with me. this was our convo: him: " .. are you okay?" me: " im fine." him: " look, dont worry about it. Its mostly about me and you just got brought into it cause we dated" me: " yeah i know, but you know i cant take when people talk about me. especially when what they say isnt true." him : " i know i know. i dont either. But just forget about it, its not that bad" me: " okay.. whatever." then he had to run again. But i was shocked that he actually talked to me. it meant alot. But anywayy, i have no idea what to do to stop this. any advice? If you read all of this, thank you sooo much. it means alot<3
