You bump into an ex?

Question

... That you haven't seen for years, he/she is with their current partner, you wasn't amicable when you broke up.

Do you:

a) Ignore him/her, that was in the past and you parted on bad terms so what's the point in acknowledging them?

b) Say 'hello, how are you'? To be polite, why let the past reflect the present?

c) Ignore him/her because they are with their current partner and you don't want to cause any embarrassment to either party due to your status as the 'ex'

d) Put on a really sickly sweet and smug face, walk up to the ex with new partner and say 'hi, how are you'?! ... Turn your attention swiftly to the new partner and then add ... 'obviously not that good'!!! (ha,ha,ha!!!)

What would you do?

Answer 1

A is the best option. (You have absolutely nothing to prove to them, and have no real interest in making them feel uncomfortable or sad to lose you. They can see what they're missing without speaking to you).

Otherwise you'll look like a bitter try-hard loser! If there's to be a conversation, then let them have to make the first approach, then move to option B.

Answer 3

Brag my head off, about how well i'm doing... brag about the things my new girl can do, and she can't... brag about everything that she really does not want too hear...

I can get under someones skin... i'd make sure that i wasn't being bothered by her again... RESULT!

But i'd do it in such a nice way!

But then if she had done nothing wrong and it was me doing the walking... i'd fully expect to get this in return...

or i'd be really amicable... lend me a fiver... soon would leave me alone!
