what would be your first reaction when you bumped into your EX?

Hi, well my marriage ended in really bad terms so I do not even go to any place he might be but luckily I live almost 400 miles away. If I ran into my ex-husband I would say hi if he said it first otherwise I would walk away. As for an ex-b/f who lives close to me, well luckily I haven't seen him too much but every time I have, I have always been with my b/f. My mom said my ex-b/f was staring at me and my b/f when we ran into him.I never speak to him. I see no need to.

I would ask him to treat me. I never saw 2 of my exes after break up upto now. In case I would accidentally get bumped unto them, I would be glad and asked them to treat me and have some friendly talk. I had moved on and I respect whatever relationship they have now. I am the type of girl who could really befriend with my exes as well as with their significant partners. There would be no awkward feeling because if I do, it means that the feeling is still there and it would be unfair. Whatever happened in the past should remain in the past. What is important now is the present and future.

I actually "bumped" into my ex about a month and a half or so ago. I was cashing my check at Walmart and he was like 3 people in front of me and as he was walking away, I saw him. I think he saw me, but I'm not sure. If he did, he sure ignored me. Not that I really care, though. I only dated him for a month and some days, but if I were to bump into him, I would probably just ignore him. I don't care about what he is up to, as bad as that sounds. He was a scum bag as far as I'm concerned.

Um. Awkward! This happened to me in a parking lot of a grocery store I *used to* go to all the time. Turns out, he started going there after we broke up. I found another grocery store, but that's a different story. He acted like he had no idea who I was. I smiled at him because I thought that was the nice thing to do. He was with friends and they said, "who's that?" He said, "I don't know, just some girl I guess." Jerk.

Oh!! that still hurts!! ouch!!! well, if it happen to me? am sure my day is not that good. It will really ruing my day. Specially if we did not end our relationship in a nice way. What would be my reaction? if possible I will not look at him. hahaha.. I will pretend that I did not see him, I will snob him . And if there is a way to avoid him, I will do everything.. not to meet him hahahaha...

I guess I'd try to talk to her in a friendly manner ..ask her all the regular stuff like how are you? and what you doing and stuff....what i wouldn't do is ask her any personal questions or remind of the times we shared ....i guess i'd try to end the chat as soon as i can because it could get hazardous(if you know what i mean)...

Well I believe there is always a reason why things happens. Well if we split up that time with a lot of hurts and I really got into trouble well maybe a hi is enough and not to prolong the conversation. Maybe that time I was moving on so I wont care less. Have a nice day to you!

Hello, Kenchiprincess. If I saw my ex-girlfriend, which has already happened, I act normally. If we happen to meet each other and start talking, I'll be myself. No hurt feelings, nothing. Talking like old friends. Now, there was this ex-girlfriend that I met, and she was hiding herself because she didn't want me to see her. I don't see why. She knew I saw her already, but she avoided me. I'm not going to chase anybody. If she is avoiding me, alright. There is no reason to do what she did. Relationships are common. People get hurt, some don't. I can deal with it. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

No matter how long or short the relationship was or if it was good or bad, still no reaction at all. If ever we bump to each other i just say hi or hello and how are you then goodbye. Past is past and just have to move on.

I had a boyfriend for almost four years. I broke up with him because I found someone more deserving. Though I did not intend do it on purpose, still he was hurt. We havent seen nor bumped each other for more than a year. No chat/text or email communications. And I still have no idea what would I react if ever we see each other. Sometimes our reactions can be unpredictable. But I think a simple "smile" would be safe. Hope he smiles back. :)

That depends really if your still in love with your ex but in my case, though I am no longer in love with him, I still have this feeling that I want to prove something to him. That he shouldn't have never broken up with me and its his lost! Hehe! -cherry

My ex caused me a lot of pain in the past however, I knew that I totally got over him already because I don't care for him anymore. It means that if ever I bumped into him, I'll just shrug my shoulders and think what a small world it is. I don't have anything to do with him and I just don't like to think of him either as a friend or even as an acquaintance. I don't even like to waste my time thinking of that person. I won't tell my husband, "Oh, there's my ex" because he definitely is not worth my husband's time even just a glimpse of him.

Wow! nice discussion... Well, I think it happenned to me when I broke up with my first boyfriend who is a Mama's Boy type. Well, we are all invited for a debut party of our schoolmate, that was I think 2 weeks after our break up. We just smile with each other and he never took the chance of talking to me and explain his side and try to win me back, etc. I was surrounded with my group of friends and so he was too but if he he willing to talk to me privately and seriously, he will do it right?! We talk as if we are just friends and no history maybe we are just shy of what had happened to us, our relationship last for a month only but it can be extended if he is not stupid not to find ways to tell me what happened to him and never communicate with me for a week. But it's 6-7 years ago and we are happy with the person we are with. Whenever our batch have reunion we talk a little and we already moved on with our life.

oh man.. now that is going to be awkward. i would never ignore him.. i would smile at him, ask him how he is, if he fine, ask if everyone in his family is fine, ask whats new with him and routine questions like that.. if the relationship broke mutually,then i would ask him out for a coffee and we will talk about old times.. just catching up.. otherwise if it was a serious relationship that we broke, then i would smile, ask how he is and i would walk away..

If I saw an ex in a public place I would probably start walking in the oppisite direction to get away from them as soon as possible. There is a reason that exs are in the past. If they hurt you once then they could hurt you again and who wants to be hurt by the same person more then once. Im married and im sure that talking to an ex could only hurt not help my relationship.

Im married so if I saw an ex in a public place I would probably try walking in the oppisite direction. Just seeing an ex would either bring back good or bad memories. Ex's are part of the past for a reason and its smart to leave them in the past. If they hurt you in the past they could hurt you again and who wants to be hurt twice by the same person.
