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:
- You can’t always avoid your ex
- Diplomacy is your safest bet
- Don’t discuss the breakup
- Be cordial
- Exit quickly
That’s it. You just learned how to handle unexpected ex encounters. You’re welcome.
