J0N Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I have been thinking lately. There is only one more time where I might run into my ex, before we both move to opposite sides of the country. It is something that we both have to go to, there will be hundreds of people there so the odds aren't very high that I will run into her. BUT if I do, I want to be prepared to handle it properly. I was thinking something along the lines of: Being polite yet totally stone cold. Any tips on maintaining composure? I am really worried that running into her will really tear me up, especially if she is with another guy... I don't think she will be, but its been over six months since we've broken up so anything is possible
Bateman Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Well I think it's good that you have a plan of action. I was 3 months NC when I randomly saw my ex gf. And it tore me up. I approached her though which I think was a mistake. If you see her, politely smile and wave and let her come to you if she does at all. Stay cool and if you feel uncomfortable, I would leave the place. Good luck.
Fufu Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 How about, just don't think about running into her? Sometimes we are afraid of running into our ex (if that will happen), and even if you do, maybe you will even surprise yourself that actually you won't even feel that much hurt that you expected.
TaraMaiden Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 If it makes you feel better, think in terms of running OVER her..... When's the big move? And what place is this, that you're so concerned about meeting her in...? A bar? The gym? A baseball stadium....?

Sometimes we are afraid of running into our ex (if that will happen), and even if you do, maybe you will even surprise yourself that actually you won't even feel that much hurt that you expected. i agree with Fufu. from time to time i find myself wondering how i would react if i were to run into my ex. but halfway through coming up with a strategy, i stop caring and drop it. i really don't expect to run into him anyway. and if i do i do. there's really no way to prepare for it. i would hope that if i were to ever run into him i would be far enough in my healing that it wouldn't upset me all that much. now if i ran into him with his new girl -- that would be another story altogether. but again - - there's really no way i can plan ahead for something like that. so i just try no to think about it and focus on getting better, instead.
