Your reaction when you meet your ex

Don't get me wrong, I love being single! I choose not to be in a relationship because I'm fine with it. lol Anyway, I was wondering my reaction would be when I see my ex with his new girlfriend. I probably would not say anything, I'd just smile. How about you? What would your reaction be? Tell us about it. ^_^

Actually, I successfully gone through it. Perhaps it depends on the reason of your breakup as well as its gravity. For me, since i had no choice of meeting them, I conditioned myself by saying this is it and I can do nothing about it. Convincing myself that maybe we're not meant for each other, that there is someone better for me and deserves my affection and this and that. Well of course, the pain still there, but probably what I did helped a lot to react normal and still with composure. Maybe that could also be helpful for some. Making some emotional preparation like, think positive of yourself, don't let your emotion get over you for you may look loser. Tell to your self that its his lost and you're fine without him. Maybe it is really easier than done, but willingness to learn something will really put you in place where you want to be. Happy mylotting.

That is a tough one. It is always hard to see an ex being happy and in a relationship - even if you are in one yourself! I think women tend to be more emotional about things, I know I am, and I feel like my ex's are a part of me. I was married 10 years and the first 6 were good ones. The last 4 were hell as my husband turned to drinking. I was lucky to get myself and the kids out of there. He put us through a living hell and then a few years later to find out he was getting married upset me which surprised me since I cannot stand him. lol. Karma catches up though and he divorced in about a year.

Yeah, I guess so. Maybe that's because women get a little more attached somehow in every relationship compared to men? It's a good thing you got out of that abusive relationship. Be happy with your family.

my reaction i would be a bit sad actually. not bcs i still love him but bcs that would mean he forgot me fast. i have a new bf already but that was bcs he kept on hurting me and i had to let him go. but about him i always was sweet to him so would feel a bit sad that he forgot me so fast. we just broke up last month so is very recent. so if he had a new girl would be a bit sad but i know that he has to move on^^ he still loves me and i know he is hurt that i have a new bf so i wish he can find a girl to make him happy^^ but for now i would feel a bit sad but i know im being selfish. is just that for once i would like to feel a guy really loved me even if things didnt work. he can move on sure but for now i would think he didnt love me really. bcs he was hurting me always and i always was sweet even that.

That is actually how I would feel if I see that one ex of mine who I left but who I still love. I heard he has a new girl. At first I wanted to see him but now, I'm thinking otherwise.

Whenever I see my ex, she ignores me so I ignore her in return. I really feel awkward and uncomfortable whenever I see her. Don't get me wrong, I'm so over her. I just feel anxious because I don't know what to say. I didn't do anything bad to her. In fact, she was the one who broke up with me. There really are no hang ups, just the awkward feeling of meeting someone you used to date.

LOL I also tried doing that to my ex. People only teased us more but it was fine. We're in good terms today. It doesn't matter. Besides, I was the one who broke up with him. =)

I will give him a disgusted & sarcastic look. I have always been true to my boyfriend....I can never think about cheating and cannot accept him cheat on me...if he does...his bad...I will just ignore and pretend like nothing ever was between us.

I had an ex who cheated on me but I still talk to him and we're friends. But that's probably because it was I who dumped him and he was begging me to take him back. lol

Meeting ex with his new girlfriend? Hmmm...I would probably mostly be ok, but I won't really say anything nor pretend not seeing or knowing him. I think the most I can do would be just greet him using body language. I dunno if I would be able to smile, but I think I will try my hardest to so he knows that I'm going strong without him. I wouldn't try to make him sees me being weak, especially that he already have someone new, you know. I dunno what else I would do apart from all these.

I think I'd be the same way. It wouldn't be a big deal for me. I'd pry talk to both of them as if nothing were wrong because nothing would be. We move on. I'm over them anyway.

It depends, if I happen to still love that guy and he is the one who broke up with me, I would probably be shocked seeing him with his new girlfriend. I wouldn't say anything I would just go without saying any word. But if it happens to be my ex that I dumped, I would probably be happy for him, honestly. And if it happens to be my ex that I just left without a word or just by sending him a simple message that "hey, we're done. don't look for me anymore", I think I would just wish that we never crossed our paths. I hate explaining on why I left.

Maybe it would depend. If it was an ex who dumped me, then I probably would become silent to see him happy with another girl. I am referring to my exes whom I dumped and I don't really care anymore. lol =)
