As I am walking through the baby store with my 8 month pregnant wife I see a familiar face. It is one of my ex-girlfriends. Here is a little background on this whole situation. We dated approximately 7 years ago and it lasted for about 2 years. Towards the end of our relationship she started getting extra clingy and bringing up the "M" word... marriage. I was still an immature kid back then so I broke it off and I told her that I just was not the marrying kind. This is the first time that I have seen her since then. After we broke up I met my wife. We dated for about 3 years and I matured as I was with her and she made me realize that I wanted to get married and not just to anyone, but to her. So a few months later we got married and now we are expecting our first child. Now I am staring my ex-girlfriend in the face and I am not scared at all. I am confident in my current relationship and I assume that she has found a wonderful guy to get married to that is not me. I go up to her with my wife to introduce them and the look on my ex-girlfriend’s face is kind of weary but she does not look to be upset. Which I would hope not considering the fact that she is the one that ran into us shopping at a baby store. After some semi awkward introductions and small talk she reveals that she too is married and about 3 months pregnant. I tell her how happy I am for her and I wish her the best and my wife and I continue with our shopping. This is one situation that could have gone very badly but it turned out to be a good thing because now both of us got closure and we left each other with hopeful futures.
