Vacation in 4 days with ex

[Griesfootball]

This weekend my family and my exes family are going on a 5 day cruise. This trip has been planned since February. My ex of 13 months broke up with me April 7. It is 21 days since contact. There are some underlying things that have happened since the 9 weeks of breaking up like me doing all the things your not supposed to at first. So I do have feelings but am doing good at moving along without her. At first it felt like I had no life but things are back to normal. But I want to know how I approach this trip. Our rooms are near each other on the cruise. I want to be myself and show her who I was at the beginning of our relationship but is that a good way to go or should I go with a cold shoulder. I'm nervous because there is an emotional buildup of nc for 3 weeks then all of sudden I will be with the person for 5 days. It's both our first trip out of country so I just want to go and have fun and not bring up anything about the past but I'm unsure of how to approach her.

I would just play it cool. I mean It's hard (I've been there, went on vacation almost 2 months after our breakup, families included, but we were still vert much in touch but we kept on fighting). The NC period is on your side, its been so long since you've seen your ex that he/she will be curious on how you proceed/look/behave. Just enjoy yourself, be courteous and friendly (not overly) and just stick to your family and enjoy THEM. Let it flow... so far you seem to have done well

That plan is well and good, but you have to emotionally brace yourself for the possibility of her hooking up with some guy on the cruise. It might not happen, but it could. You are not together anymore. Just something to think about so you are not caught off guard.

This sounds like an utter disaster in the making.

I agree, I just shutter at the though of being stuck on a boat for 5 days with my Ex with nowhere to run.

 

 

But, she was a massive bitch anyway.....
