meg, from Canada asks:

I wrote before and it was about an ex. Last week the ex came into the coffee shop where my friend and I were. I haven't talked to him since we broke up. Anyway, we talked for about 2 hours, he was telling me he was buying another house in 6 months. My friend asked where in town or in the country he said country. When we were dating I told him that I love to live in the country. He asked how my kids were doing, talked about work, then it got kinda weird like showing us his tattoo which was on his chest, and saying he has been working out, asked if i was still working at the bar, told him I had another job and he was like oh yeah where, my cell phone was on the table and he grabbed it and was looking at it and I asked him what he was doing and he was like I'm looking at the pictures that you took and I was like no you're not and took my phone from him. He said WHY WHO DO YOU HAVE PICS OF which I thought was weird because I'm not with him. I wanna know why after all this time almost a year would he come in and sit down, what does he want from me? Did he do this because he wanted to see if I would tell him to get lost or to find out if i was seeing someone so he could try again, or was he just in the area and thought he would stop in to say hi, lol thanks

VictorM's answer:

Meg, he's your ex, not your enemy. Exes run into each other from time to time. People buy houses in the country, they are nosey, playful, boastful... it's just the way it is. Life is not a romance novel where everything is done for a reason. He saw you, stopped in, talked for a while, and he moved on. There's no mystery, no plot, no rhyme or reason... just humans relating to each other.
