as for my experience when i am in a grocery, i accidentally saw my ex, and she also saw me, then we just glance at each other and so as not to be shy, i am the one to approach her first. the usual hi's and hello's and telling her she looks good. she then ask if i have moved on and i told her yes, then i told her some stories of my present relationship. I think as individuals we must be of in good terms with our past relationships, no ill feelings. they have been a part of ourselves, and contributed to our growth as individuals.

If I am in such situation, despite the bad breakup and all the unwanted memories, I would be civil and just say “hi” to my ex. In a way, it just goes to show that I had moved on from the pass and just move forward to the life I am having. It will also help to pull off a good mood and be civil and have a closure to such relationship. I don’t like putting grudges also, so by dropping by a “hi” would do a good impression.

It happened and thankfully I can be very cool. I don't get nervous or feel guilty when I see an ex, it's alright to me. Actually I be happy everytime I see someone that was part of my life so it's exciting. It's sad when the guy still is angry or something but then there's nothing I can do about it.

I thin 8 years ago i saw my first boyfriend accidentally in the park near to my place, at first i did not recognized him because he look old and stressful. But when he called my name i recognized his voice and talked to him, he still kind and gentle to me. We talk and eat dinner in the nearest restaurant and i asked his forgiveness for the things that i have dome to him and for dumping him. I am glad that he forgave and he already move on. That's incident help me to lessen the burden and quilt inside my heart, now if even i can see him I can easy approach him because i know he forgiven me and no more hurt and heart feeling between us.

Hi Thisisit, I love to see my ex, want to know their present life, hows their family and hope they were also happy as I am. even though I am a widow for so many years and never have relationship. I am happy with my kids and my families (parents, brothers and sister) when I bumped them in a certain place surely I will make a chitchat with them and make some jokes...telling why they leave me without saying why, whats wrong with me lol...and hope that the one they choose is better that I am.. (patient and understanding :)....)I don't store grudges with my ex, I just reminisce the time when we are happy and not the time when he left me.. lol...Life must go on, moving forward is the best and we will reach the rainbow...

Once everyone have moved on, i think it will be normal to be at peace with eachother bur one must know the extend of interactions because both partners knows the soft buttom to press which will in a way rekindle the fire. Remember an old FIRE is easy to rekindle at any point in time.

I am quite lucky in a way that I can still talk to my ex boyfriends if I see them around, because I was never in the position where I ended a relationship with them in a bad way. This means that there was never a chance of us having to avoid each other because none of us were uncomfortable seeing each other in the street, and we would still be able to talk about how we'd been and the things that we had been up to and other things like that. It is nice in a way, as I would hate to be avoiding somebody who meant so much to me at one point.

Well for me it all depends upon on how did we ended up our relationship.it depends if we had a formal break up, or we ended well.it's hard to approach a person who are not in good terms with you. but for my situation, just in case if I see my ex accidentally, there will be no problem with that. we are actually good friends now and she is already involve with another guy now and i can see she is already happy and I'm happy for her.we still text one another and share some problems and give advices to one another. so i won't have any issue if i will see my ex accidentally.

hi or hello would be enough for me. sure, no ill feelings anymore...but no warm feelings neither. that' exactly how i feel about all of my exes. an ex is an ex. nothing more nothing less. and if he ever starts a conversation with me, i'd keep it short, polite and simple.

Well, if both of you parted ways with a common good feeling, then there's no problem when you see each other again. What would be difficult is when you parted in bad terms. That way, both of you will really avoid each other, even if you have already seen each other.

Well if there is no more grudges and both moved one, we really have to be civil and human enough to even say hi or hello.If there are still pain and hurts inside it would be hard to deal with ex.

You are right, we must always be at peace and in good terms with everyone who has been part of our lives once. It may be impossible to be this way to everyone we encountered but we can always try. I only have 2 boyfriends, and my husband is my second so I only have one ex. He is also married now. We havne't crossed paths yet but we had a good separation; we did not part ways like good friends but we weren't enemies either. We are also happy, we're even friends on Facebook haha, so I guess it would not be awkward if ever we meet. I am also cool if ever he is with his wife, and I'm sure he is also good if ever he meets my husband.

I think nothing special about seeing my ex again.Unless you still feel something for her then that is another story. For me I will deal with her as usual person I met before.I will greet her maybe and walk away.

I agree with you. We should always be civil with one another. But I guess, if the pain is still there, and I accidentally see my ex, I wouldn't be able to sat hi. I would stay away from him in an instant.
