if your ex-boyfriend's wife, the one he dumped you for, were coming to work at the company that you both work for, what would you do?

just ignore...I mean, he is your ex-boyfriend already, right? So unless you still have feelings for him, then there's no reason for you to be affected

and hopefully she won't pop up on company e-mail either!

If I was instead of you I would react normally and keep my distance from her. After all it might not be her fault, that your ex boyfriend has dumped you. He could have left for other reasons as well. I ll try not to be prejudiced against her and give her a chance. We might end up as best friends.

Probably not, but I guess that stranger things have happened. :-)

Wow, that's tough. It would definitely be uncomfotable and awkward, but, as others have stated, I would try to be mature and behave professional as I should in a work environment. I would definitely HATE to be in that situation though!!

different locations entirely, I moved after we broke up, so it's unlikely I'd even ever see her! hope she doesn't pop up on e-mail though.

Try to be the bigger person. Don't let her see that it bothers you in anyway.

Simply keep on doing you job as always. I don´t think you necesarily have to have any contact with her, so mind your own business and do your job. In case yo do have contact with her, treat her like any other coworker there. You said it, she´s your EX boyfriends wife,so you should be over him, and even if he did dump you for her,,,i guess it was a while ago and you´ve moved on

I would treat her just like I treat my other Work Colleagues I would not ever show myself up or take my Private Life into the open so to me it would be someone that works there and nothing else

Well this is the time that your professionalism will be tested. Personal life and professional life should not mixed that is why when you will be co workers then you should show the courtesy they she deserves as a co worker. Personal history should be not be an issue.

Run and hide!!! Leave!!!! Only joking, but I would think it strange that she would want to come and work at the same place as you, surely she would know you work there!! I would be very adult and not raise to any bait if she were going to get at me. I would also go and have a chat with my boss and just expalin the sitution so he is in the picture

It's very strange, especially since he kept telling me how much he hated the company and I should hate it too. And then later that SHE hated it just because she was with him. Can't talk to the boss the way things are structured, CAN talk to OE if necessary.

If that happens to me, then i will just ignore her. I dont want to have a fight with her for it is already the past, but I would not also befriend her, well because even though it is already the past, I still have my pride. Though having pride is not good, but I think as long as you dont do anything bad to others or hurt her or something, it is okay.

no way no how would she ever befriend me anyway, she has a serious jealousy problem...

i think in a situation like that you have to be mature and as adult as possible. you go to work with her and u suck it up. thats what i'd do. im not about to go losing my job because someone else is coming in and they make me feel uncomfortable. not happening. you can stay working there and avoid them as much as possible and when you see her and have to interact, take the high road. if thats just too much, then switch jobs if its really causing you some problems.

haha I may be forced to switch jobs anyway, there are layoffs coming... but running into the person is pretty unlikely, we're in offices 300+ miles apart!
