It's been forever since I started a thread! Good times, good times.
Anyway!
I recently ran into two exes (on different days) and had very different emotional reactions. The first encounter was at my doctor's office. I was sitting across the office near a large potted plant. When I spotted him I slouched down and over into the plant to hide. It was a brilliant move; he didn't see me. I should have been a spy.
The second ex I ran into was a different story. It hurt to see him, and it took my breath away just a little bit. We didn't end on the best of terms, and we haven't spoken in years. This encounter was brief. Honestly, the word encounter seems too generous a term. In seeing him I realized I didn't miss him romantically, I missed him as a friend. With the exception of one ex who goes to church with me, I don't speak to anyone I've dated. It's always a clean break. But in this case, I would have made an exception for ex number 2. Too bad he won't make an exception for me.
So tell me how you handle your ex partners! I want all the details.
