My ex boyfriend just built a house and moved in next door to me and my family. We are both married with children of our own. Before he and his wife were married he declared his love for me, in front of her, taking his ring back from her and the whole works. It was ugly! I did not return his love and we have not spoken in 4 years. Needless to say they are now married and have kids of their own. Just recently they moved in next door. We talk now and are pleasant to each other. I have turned down several invitations to do stuff with them out of being uncomfortable. I just can’t understand why they would choose to live right next to me after all that has happened! Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture?

It may have nothing to do with you. He may have gotten a good deal on the land. He seems to have moved on and thinks of you as a friend. You appear to not have moved on quite as far, which is your prerogative. The fact that he is next door could make anyone feel weird and uncomfortable. Unless you are able to have a conversation with him you’ll never fully understand his feelings or motives. I would assume his current wife must feel strange also. Maybe in time it will all be forgotten. For now you should try your best to ignore it and and live your own life.
