>24/F, salary in the low to mid 40s range
>Big city native that recently moved in with her dad in the burbs to save up money. Dying to move back.
>From an area that gentrified recently and thus is impossible to rent in again- fell in love with a different area.
>Was involved with a guy for 4 years- 3 years fwb, 1 year dating- broke up back in November.
>Initially did the crazy ex gf thing of texting and calling, trying to fix shit, etc. got over him in spring and started dating a new guy who lives immediately north of the area I love.
>Looking for an apartment, found a GREAT DEAL- one that I'm probably not going to find again unless I took an older apartment or apartment in the hood- but it's on the same block as ex.
>Super easy to get to work, probably a 20 minute commute.
>Talked it over with new guy already, he's not afraid of the proximity because my ex was an asshole.
>I have no intention at all of ever getting back with ex.
Should I take this apartment? The two arguments I've been hearing are:
Pro- Taking it is financially reasonable and also dominating a bad situation.
>[I don't know how he's going to react to seeing me with a new guy.]
Con- His friends are going to think I'm insane and trying to get back with him.
>[I don't really care what they think, but that's an assumption I'm making now.]
What does everyone think I should do?
Do it
Should also mention-- I can't do a roommate situation I feel, so if there's an affordable way for me to live alone I feel my hands are tied.
Take your fucking apartment and stop giving a shit about your ex

Who the fuck cares. You do, that's why you're making this stupid thread. Get the fuck over him. The chances of seeing someone in the same neighborhood is still slim. Go to work, go home. Wtf man.

Absolutely take the apartment. There's no reason not to. I highly doubt that his friends will think you're insane just because you move near your ex.
I live one literally down the hall from my ex-gf, and I see her maybe once a month.
