Struggling

Journaling, but comments and thoughts are welcome.....

I just got home from a graduation party for a friend's kid. My STBXW was there with our kids. Didn't talk to her, not because I was avoiding her, but just because we didn't bump into each other while mingling. Got tired, said goodbye to the hosts, some friends, and said goodbye to the group she was chatting with. As I was leaving, she said very pointedly "Hey, Goodbye!" like she was miffed I didn't specifically say goodbye to her.
I said, "what? I just said goodbye to everyone..." I gave her a second to reply; she didn't say anything I turned around and left.

I realized, though, that I hadn't said goodbye to S and D, so I walked back thru the party said goodbye to D, couldn't find S, so passing STBXW, asked her to say goodbye for me and I left.
