If you came across your ex, what would you say? (Given the relationship ended badly)

[oasisfancortes]

If you broke up with someone, or they broke up with you, and the relationship ended very badly, how would you act if you ran into them ? What would you say ?

 

I would try to be mature and act polite, but because it ended badly, I don't know what I would do. It would be painfully awkward if I ran into one, and made eye contact and didn't know how to act. So im just curious as to how YOu would be

[Ordinaryday]

Absolutely nothing. I would turn my head the other way, pretend I didn't see them, and keep walking.

 

If they don't notice me, great. If they do notice me and notice that I deliberately ignored them, even better. This is assuming I was dumped.

 

If they deliberately approach me and start Talking I'd simply sa 'I have nothing to say to you' and keep walking.

[Toddbt12y1]

Give absolutely no reaction and keep walking on.

 

Extremely difficult.

 

Given the great deal of agony and rebirth she caused me.

 

But...with all my might....I know I must resist and say nothing.

 

After so much agony...does she...they....deserve any form of emotion or recognition?

 

No....

 

It would be hard. I truly do love her....so...

This actually happened to me. Ran into my ex while walking through the mall with my current girlfriend. We made eye contact and I smiled genuinely nodded and kept on my merrily way. It felt good to feel no remorse and no guilt. However it has been a year and some months since we broke up, but I feel that I've found my peace.

[TaraMaiden]

It all hinges on what you mean by 'ran into them....'

 

Passed them by in the street?

 

Found they were in a similar social situation to you?

 

Hit them with your station-wagon....?

 

 

 

The first two have been amply answered here by Ordinaryday.

 

As for the third option - how much do you value the fender on your car....?

If my ex had not broken no contact and it was months later, I would assume he had moved on and was happy with someone else, or at least dating and hooking up with girls he fancied.

 

I would not keep eye contact with them and just walk away. Not in a dramatic, attention seeking way: I would smile if he held my gaze or if he looked as though he wanted to come and chat..... but then I would look as though I was in a hurry and leave.

 

You cannot handle what they have to say, so it is always best to just walk.

 

If you truly loved them and you have not fallen in love with another person, then you will only be upset by whatever interaction you have with them.

 

It is the same as no contact to me; anything short of them wanting you back, and you really gotta just walk away, as you will not be able to handle hearing what they have to say.

 

And I am a very kind women; I smile at being I know and like to chat.

 

I will probably have to deal with this one day.

[DavidSoBased]

My ex left me on our anniversary which was also the day of my Grandpa's funeral. She met a guy within 3-4 days after (He was probably already in the picture) and dated him a month later. If I were to see her now, I'd try to just smile and wave. I've lost weight. I dress better now. I'd wave and smile and continue on. If she happens to be walking in my direction and were to say "Hi, how are you?" I say something like "Good, I'm in a hurry. Nice talking to you!" That's what I would hope I'd do.

[seahawker64]

Honestly, I would walk over and pee on her shoe's.

 

Ok, not really but I think in my own case I would exit stage left before she saw me an if she did see me I would just keep walking with no acknowledgment. She walked out on me, does that really deserve even a nod and a smile?

[KatZee]

I would act as if I didn't even know who he was. I wouldn't acknowledge him in any way, shape or form. If we caught eyes, I'd keep a completely blank and dead stare, and then just look away, again, as if I didn't even know who he was. I would then just keep walking right past him and never look back.

[LoveB86]

I would not look his way.

 

His girlfriend (the other co worker) who I been seeing lately, on the other hand, she's being smiling at me in such an awkward way like as cold hearted smirk type way. Like seriously, I would like to tell her to stop acting like she won him because he dumped me... he wasn't all that to begin with. I was there when his as$ was broke, so anybody that should look down on anyone is me.

[J_L_C]

I wouldn't say anything....I'd just drop my pants and finger myself!

 

Hahahaha, this may sound weird to those of you who don't know my story! If curious enough, it's titled: Sherlock Holmes couldn't figure this out

[ConfusedT]

What should I say when I see him? NOTHING and smile.

 

What do I say when I see him? Anything that pops into my little angry bitter mind at the moment..

 

He did me REALLY wrong though and put me through H.E.L.L!!!!

 

I try to be civil, but for the most part, I can't. I cannot wait to get to the indifferent stage...!!!
