Some of us can stay friends with an ex because the breakup was mutual. And some of us are forced to stay friends because we have too many common friends or we work at the same place. But if the breakup was bad, it’s always better to avoid staying friends.
When you bump into an ex after an awkward breakup, deal with the situation quickly and confidently. And walk away!
Running into your ex – With their new partner
If you walk into your ex and they’re in their new lover’s arms, be graceful and friendly, just like you’re meeting an old acquaintance. Don’t reveal your nervousness, and most importantly, avoid getting overfriendly or talking about the good old days.
A minute or two into the conversation, use an excuse like “Well, you guys seem busy, let me not get in your way…” “It was really nice seeing you. But hey, I’m late and need to be somewhere” and walk away.
