Respect for yourself or just stubborn??

[AXJules]

OK so this has been bothering me for awhile and I can't get an objective viewpoint. You guys might think this is totally stupid/boring but hey, I'm up and need some help.

Freshman year in college I lived in a co-ed dorm. There were only about 50 people in my hall and we were freakishly close. Other dorms like, made fun of us b/c we were all friends. Anyway the guys were all non- Greek, the girls were half and half, and we were a happy family.

Soph. year our group of friends was me, the boys, and one other sorority girl. We did everything together- that was my circle. Well one night we had a party and I got into a disagreement w/this guy I'll call *brad*, the ringleader of our group. Later that night heard a convo I shouldn't have. Basically about how they're all sick of me and my drama, didn't care if I drove in the rain and had killed myself, b/c it would be a way to get rid of me.

the next morning I left the apt and never looked back. Brad wrote me an email about how I was never to be friends with these people again, and how I should be glad I finally knew what they thought of me. (sorry this is so long!!!) Anyway I was devastated, lost all my friends, and threw myself into my sorority to make friends.

So now, here I am a year later, with new friends and a boyfriend and everything's cool.... when Brad comes up to me in one of my classes and is like, "Hey sweetie, what's up?" like nothings happened. I'm like, WTF????Haven't seen them in a year and now I have 4 classes w/him and the boys.

I have no idea what to do. My friends are like, don't be so stubborn. It's not gonna kill you to be nice to him. That's great that you guys can be friends again. My boyfriend thinks I shouldn't even waste my time giving him a response.

Has this ever happened to any of you? What did you do to handle it? Is it being grown up, or a case of immaturity????
