Things with our therapists are sooo emotionally loaded for us.
But I'm guessing that he was falling back on his training. You'd told him you'd like him to say hi. But even if he remembered that (which my therapist definitely would not) you've terminated with him since you said that. It might have occurred to him that that might change the situation. And if there was any doubt in his mind, he'd likely go to the default of not "recognizing" you unless you took the lead and did so first.
I think it's hard for some therapists to handle romantic or sexual transference. I'm sorry he was one of them. It can be very hurtful.
And I agree with Annierose. They definitely shouldn't be allowed in public where they are likely to disturb our peace. Particularly when you're trying to gain some peace with your relationship with him.
