How do you deal with running into your ex?

Was the topic last Tuesday, 9 June, at the Women's Library in Newtown.

And our collective wisdom: ‘A bit anxious, don’t have a problem, not going to bump into them so not worried, depends on how it ended, depends on what stage you’re at, do a risk assessment, take yourself on a big bang holiday, ignore them if you see them, really close to all my exes, best friends with them, if all else fails there are the courts, sing ‘Oh What a Beautiful Morning’, try and remember who your exes are’. And of course what would a discussion topic be without the Nausten Powers of Open House coming up with a fool proof scientifically validated algorithmically correct formula for the situation – a) practice at home in front of the mirror your look of bored, disdain on seeing the ex in public, b) warn your friends that if you are with them in public and the ex hoves into view you will grab one of their hands and pretend like you’re lovers.
