What if You Bump Into Your Ex During No Contact?

Bumping into your ex during no contact? Don’t panic. I’ll show you how to handle it like a pro.

No contact means cutting all communication. It helps you heal. It gives your ex space. But life happens. You might see them.

What do you do?

Be diplomatic. It’s simple:

  • Respect boundaries
  • Be polite
  • Keep it brief

Don’t explain why you’re not talking. Don’t discuss the breakup. Just be cordial and leave quickly.

A client shared his story:

I met my ex by accident. I nearly panicked. Then I remembered: be diplomatic.

I smiled and said hello. Simple. She looked uncomfortable but stopped.

We talked for a minute. Friendly. I didn’t push it. She seemed surprised.

I said goodbye and left. What could have been terrible was a success!

You don’t need miracles. Keep it simple. Say hi, chat briefly, move on.

Remember:

  1. You can’t always avoid your ex
  2. Diplomacy is your safest bet
  3. Don’t discuss the breakup
  4. Be cordial
  5. Exit quickly

That’s it. You just learned how to handle unexpected ex encounters. You’re welcome.
