How to get along with your ex-boyfriend?

China
September 7, 2012 8:05am CST
In fact,we haven't contact with each other for two years,but because the internship ,we were assigned to the same group,there are twelve person in our team. Because of the working place is too far,so they all decided to go there together,in order to avoid the dangerous incident,and it's easy to administrate. So,we have to meet each other every day and every afternoon,the others all know he was my exboyfriend,so they always made fun of us.I was very embarrassed,and he didn't talk with me at all,what's worse ,he neglected me intend. I didn't want to talk with him too,on account of that ,his girlfriend is our classmate. What can i do?

It's normal to an ex-couple to have different unusual changes after in terms of treating and talking each other. If you recover already your feelings to him so no worries at all. It's a matter of moving on to remove all your worries about your previous relationship. I think you will be enlighten if you read this thread. It's about a conversation with my ex. Go through the thread and you will enjoy. Check this discussion link: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2584244.aspx

Treat him like 'the celebrity you used to have a crush on': you respect him, because he's still a celebrity; you just don't think of him 'that way' anymore.

you need to go along with him as a professional and set aside any personal things that happen with you in the past. t s already over and do not bring t anymore. as he sure remember you but the feeling s gone now. i do nt know about you that you feel awkward. maybe, deep inside you still have feeling to him. so if ever your co 0workr tease you just be calm and relax and tell them there is n any remorse or wishing to get back to each other since he already have a boyfriend. so just tell them you work him because you mention already need for your job.

I think the best way to do is just take it easy. Everyone know that he is your ex mean every one know is pass tense. If you already accept the fact, then you should not take it serious. If you really feel uncomfortable of what others had said, just make it clear to everyone that you r not happy with the way they joke.

It can be very risky if it happened that way because it is very limited what we can do. Especially seeing friends make fun of because of the year that he was ex. Everything went awry. I think the good thing is that you may be able to act as usual, do not deem her ex or something because you're together so long that by the belt by apprentice status, I think it was that there was no awkwardness if anyone would like discussed or ask for help.

Ye,the best way to solve this problem is that act as usual. As long as my heart is quiet,and don't care much about them,i would be very happy. Thank you very much. Best wishes.

You are right. We should be ourselves,it's not worthy to care too much things that we can't handle.

Act neutral and since he is not talking you should not try to be his friend. So in a way, you do not require to get along with him. If you are feeling uncomfortable about those people's comments, just let them know that past is past and you two moved on. So they need to behave maturely by dropping the topic.

hello pinggai...You are going to have a hard time dealing with him if you still haven't move on in your relationship.... This is really unfortunate that you are going to see him every day...and you can't avoid him because of your internship... Your relationship before with him ended bitter isn't?

Ye,at that time,i was very sad,but with the time flies,i am going to forget him almost. But now he is nothing to me,what i can't accept is that i have to meet him every day. Well,i will change my attitude to him,just regard him as a stranger,and be more optimistic. Maybe this is better for me .

you both are really in an uncomfortable situation. As long as you can, pretend that you are not affected on that .Just focus on the tasks that are given to you. Ignore the tease of the people around you and if they don't stop, tell them, "past is past".

I know how hard it is for you to be with hom in the same group. It is such an awkward feeling. Don' t show thst you feel that eay. Just be yourself. ignore the teasing of your classmates abd act as if you never care at all.

There is nothing if both of you are in the same team. The past relationship is a close book. Try to be civil towards him, if he ignores you. Leave it that way, at least you've tried.

I like your words,yes,i have tried and do what i can. No matter what feelings he will have ,i won't care anymore. Move on,move on,haha.

That was really hard and really an awkward situation but I think you should just think of your internship and if he does not mind you then you should at least stay away from him.You cannot force someone who is your ex to get along that easily.It takes a lot of time.I have an ex also,actually he is the father of my son and we went to the same school.We did not get along until now,he just text me when he wants to see his son.

Uh,i am sorry to hear that,i hope you can happy every day. And i believe that you have recovered,right? Thank you for your help,and i will stay away from him,thus we won't disturb each other anymore. Have a nice day.

Frankly to say, I haven't had this kind of experience as yours before. But I can understand the feeling that one have to face someone else who have been kept in the black-list,that is, someone you will never want to meet with once more. The world is very small,sometimes or always. If I were you, I would stop joining in the team and switch to another one, or change to another job. Or if the activity of your team will be ended soon , pls be patient to wait for the ending of the activity.

I hope you will never have the experience,it will influence your mood. Well,i can't change the job now,so to be patient and wait its ending is a good way for me. When i want to meet someone,the world seems too bid.But if i avoid to meet with somebody ,it becomes too small. Perhaps,its the god's game,who knows.

You could try to have yourself re-assigned to another group. I think that would be possible if your head is really understanding. But if that's not possible, then you have no choice. As you said, there are twelve people in the group, so I don't think you'd need to mingle with this person nor his girlfriend. Just do your thing and if there are things that both need to discuss about the internship, then just stick with that. Also, do ask your other friends to stop the teasing because it's not helping. You're soon-to-be-professionals, you could get the hang of that. Just focus on your priorities. Let him think what he and his girlfriend wants to think. At least you're guilt-free. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Thank you for your advices,i will follow them at the coming days. The group was assigned in the summer vocation,and it refered to too many people to change,so i have to adjust it. Now that i can't change the condition,so i need to change myself. Do my best to finish the task ,and get on well with others,just regard him as the air,i can over come the hard time as soon as possible. Now ,it's weekend,and there are so many time for me to relax,i am very happy. Best wishes to you,--

Its been two years best thing you can do is move on . You just be civil to everyone and no hard feeling thats the best way to move on . Dont be catty about his girlfriend are him . The more people believe you are ok the more you will start believe that you will be ok also . Fake it till you make it .

Well, I have to admit that my ex-boyfriend is actually one of my best friends now. We did go through a period of about nine years where we didn't have any kind of contact with each other at all. However, about a year and a half ago we encountered each other again. What I found was the key to being friends with my ex again was that I needed to put the feelings that I still had for him aside and just work on the friendship that we had with each other that was not a romantic relationship. Doing things this way, I find that he is one of the few people that I can trust the most in the world.

Wow,that's unbelievable,nine years,what a long period of time it is. But i know it's true love,it will be remembered to the end of our life. When we are used to that someone accompany with us ,once we lost him,it's a hard time to go through.Yet your experience tell me what's brave and how to be optimistic. Thank you a million ,for you can share it with me,and i am a little envy of you,because you can be friends at the end ,though it's not a perfect ending,it can give you more power. Enjoy your life and have a good luck every day. God bless you ,dear friend.

The best thing you should to do is to leave your present internship group and seek another group,you have no choice,or else you will meet awrward and distress everyday and even more worse,it will affect your future life and work,you say you haven't contact with he for two years,but i think two years is still two short to forget a relationship,so you must away from he.

Hi,there,i want to change a group too,but it's not a easy thing. On account of that we wrok in the government,and the people there are all very busy ,they don't care this kind of thing,after all,it's none of their business, maybe i have to meet him two months,but i know how to do now.

Hmmm, that's one awkward situation for sure. If you guys had a good parting and broke up without any unfinished business the. I guess you just do what's your part in the group and just concentrate on it. It is after all the main reason why you all are there in the first place. As for the readings, just give a small smile and say nothing. People will and can always say whatever they want to say about you but if you remain silent you'll never be misquoted and misunderstood. Just take it all stride and enjoy your group experience with the ret of the 10 members of the group.
