We all know that relationships come and go, some last for a lifetime and some only last for say days,weeks, months and so on and so forth. In my past relationship, some of them became my friend, some i greeted the casual way, and there are those whom i dont want to recognize and i don't even want to get cross with even at the street. Those are past relationship whom i don't have a good break up with. If someone will ask me this question, my answer would depend of how our relationship ended. You how do you think would you react to such a situation?

I'm in love that's what people say about me. My friends say that one girl from our college loves me and she's afraid to propose you. They never disclose who's that girl. she used to call me from some number and never tells her name. I don't know whether i'm love or not. Unless i see here i can't tell my love. Finally the point is there is no lover for me and i don't know whether i'l see her or not. so, wait for some years to say something about the topic.

Just as what you have mentioned. My reactions would be different to different people, depending on how our relationship ended up or how long ago it was. Coz I know that time heals all wounds. I could be friends with any of them. If I see any of them, i could just smile but would not approach him. If he approaches me, I guess we can talk.

A pleasant day Honeydimple,
I am not too sure what will I feel if I will saw again my recent my ex-lover. As he has still a special place inside my heart. Though our relationship was ended for so long, my heart somehow still beats for him. Thus, if our roads gonna cross again, I really do not know how and what to feel. Perhaps, I will just say, I will just cross the bridge, when I get there.

It all depends how the relationship ended. If it ended nicely whereby both agreed to the breakup, then it is still ok to bump into each other and still be friendly. If it ended nastily whereby one party does not agree to the breakup, or where there is a huge argument, or cheating each other, or being betrayed or hurt deeply, then of course you wouldn't want to see your ex around as there might still be hatred. For me, if it is just bump into him, I will just smile and say Hello. Still want to be the generous type, able to let things go and to show that I still can live happily without him.

if i see my ex-lover with her next boyfriend, then i would take my slippers and throw at here and say you are the biggest non-sense in this world without any heart. Its better to die than to stay with a fake heart.

I must admit I have never been in a relationship but that's because I like my single life right now but if I would have had one already that broke up with me for another person, I would probably be hurt. I know it'll hurt me because I am one of those sensitive people haha. But I wouldn't try to win her back or anything because she should go with the one she feels happy with. So what I'm trying to say is that I would just ignore them and not even care if the guy is with my ex. I'll even talk to the guy if he didn't even now (doesn't know) that he got with my ex. But I know girls just break up with their boyfriend to get with another guy. After they try to make their ex jeaous by walking towards their ex with their new boyfriend and when the ex don't seem to care (by not even starring at them, turning away or anything, they just continue doing what they are doing) if they are there or not, the girls make a surprise face their ex didn't even care. NOT ALL GIRLS SO SOME OF THE GIRLS WON'T GET OFFENDED!! HAHA.

it will depend on how the relationship end with that certain person. if it ended up cruel, then it means i won't give a glimpse or talk to him, as if i don't recognize him. but if we ended good, i would still count him as a friend, and treat him as one. so far, i have a good and friendly relationship with my ex's although we do not end good with some of them. but time heals and i have mature emotionally, so i don't see any reason to hate them, especially now that i am happily married. thanks to them who hurt me before, it made me a better person right now.

I have not had the oppurnity to meet any in aa long time! Most of the the guys I broke up with I could care less about them! if I saw them I would run them over! So many of my relationships ended up badly! I rather rnot relive the pain,frustatration and the hate I have for the person

If we separated in bad terms, I'll definitely be acting like I am happy, so they will feel that I am better off without them. You know make them feel jealous in a way. Have a huge smile on your face and act as if everything is best not being with them.
If it was in good terms, I would definitely invite them for breakfast, lunch, dinner etc. So you can converse and catch up with one another. I would definitely be interested on how she has been doing.

It would all depend on the relationship, how serious it was, how it ended, how much in love I was with that person. I am married now and it would feel odd no matter what for me now.

I don't know how to call how it feels.If I still have feelings for my ex I may feel embarrassed if she sees me looking at her,but if we had a very painful relationship I will feel angry.

For my part, I can feel the sense of feeling.Though we have broken up and even forgotten each other, something inner could never fade or gone with the wind. Because we have shared the most common interests which put us together. And I think it is quite great to have this kind of experience, and if I were you, I must cherish this sweet memory and never never let it go by the time. So if I could have met my ex-lover, it is a blessing and i will treat her as good as before and just like an indeed friend of mine.

This would have to depend on how the elationship ended. if it ended in ugliness and bitterness, the last person i would want to see would be an exlover. I would probably avoid contact. If it was an amicable split, I would not mind seeing him again. the friendship ties could still be there.
