Should I avoid an ex??

[glamgurl]

I was wondering what would be best way of handling the fact that an ex works in the public, such as at a restaurant or retail store or that and you want to go to that place? How long if at all do you wait before you go into the place again? I mean I like the store and would like to go back but I don’t really want to run into the ex. I have nothing to say, good or bad, to him at this point. I don’t want to let him have any power over me by me feeling like I can’t enter the store. Maybe it’s stupid to even worry, but who wouldn’t think of their ex when they would go to the place they knew their ex worked at? I do want to go and shop at the store, however I don’t want him to think that I am hoping to see him or talk to him, because I’m not. Maybe he wouldn’t think anything of it or maybe he would. Obviously no one can tell me what he’d think, but what’s a good way to handle the situation? Am I worrying too much? Just need a lil perspective. And also is it okay to bring someone you’re seeing now? Thanks in advance!

i try to avoid bumping into my ex at all costs. I think you should only be ok bumping into the ex when you have no feelings left if you saw the ex kissing someone. By then you wont be making any effort to avoid them because you jsut not thinking about them anymore

Thanks good point.

yup, you should only go once you are completely over it.

Look, there is always another store you can shop at.

If you have to question whether or not you should avoid an ex, then you probably should. That means things aren't fully resolved for you.

 

If you don't care about a person- you won't go out of your way to avoid them, or meet them, you'll feel indifference. When you are indifferent- their presence, or lack of presence, won't affect you.
