Ex in the City: The Do’s and Don’t’s Of What To Do When Running Into An Ex!
5. Don’t Talk About the Past
If you are forced to be in the same room with each other, limit the small talk to current events, the weather, work – anything else but the two of you. Don’t ask him why he was such a jerk or why he broke your heart. That stuff is over with and in the past. If he brings up your relationship, politely tell him that you’d rather leave all of that behind you and change the subject. It’s probably not the place or the time to discuss all of that anyway, and even if it’s just the two of you, leave it be and let it go. Talking about the old relationship can either bring up bitter feelings or send you back down a path you don’t want to go down. It’s over for a reason, remember that.
