Is it arreter (not s'arreter) because "ce que je faisais" is the object and s'arreter as a reflexive can't have an object??

Vous l'avez rencontre a une soiree - you met him at a party
Vous les avez rencontre a une soiree - you met them at a party
Il nous a rencontre a une soiree - he met us at a party

Nous nous sommes rencontres a une soiree - we met (each other) at a party
