Respect, is the key word here! Mutual respect! and, friendship of the noble variety!

Partner just broken up means, you have made an adjustment because you cant go together with him. that does not mean that the partner has become your enemy. You have learned a big lesson from him, how to adjust with partner. So next time you wont make the same mistake. So treat this partner as your friend. Never think anything wrong which hapened between you. Whenever you meet think about the positive effect the relationship has made in you. With a gentle smile greet him. Give him the due respect needed for a friend.

Depends upon the break up.
if the person cheated or hurt u badly while breaking up then u can or rather should be mean to that person.
if it's mutual then u show respect to the person and just behave like a distant friend...but not too friendly.
N if u are the one who cheated or broke up badly and left the other person hurt then u should feel guilty and atleast apologise for ur bad behaviour...and later on be abit friendly...it might be difficult in some situations.

What is acceptable is peaceful conversation if needed, or nodding at each other when needed. What is practical is staying away from each other for a while, because everything is so fragile and painful, it is easy to be a fool.
Most important, don't get drunk and be stupid, everyone will talk for years if you do that, and you will hate yourself.

I think the most important thing is to try to treat them with respect. You may be hurt and upset, but saying or doing mean things to them isn't going to make you feel better or change the situation.

Depends on whether you have kids or not. If yes then you need to treat them with the respect the position as other parent deserves. If not then keep your dignity treat them the way you wish to be treated.

Avoid contact with them as much as possible. It's rare that people can be "friends" after a relationship. Though some try, hurt feelings will almost always be there.

when at all possible... ignore/avoid them. life is to short to dwell on the wierdness. if there is a job or kid issue complicating things... you gotta suck it up be a grown up. be polite and respectful. Do your job (whether in the workplace or as a parent) and make it your goal to not make your breakup anyone elses problem.
good luck

It kind of depends on the breakup. If there was a lot of drama, distance is the way to go. If it was mutual...just be cordial.

If both are confortable then being just good friends would be practically prossible... (unless you hate each other sight).
