Random question, but today I was out shopping and walked past my ex. He was controlling, nasty, and verbally abusive when we were together.

Today, I was dressed up and felt super confident. I walked past him with my head held up high and it felt so damn good. He looked a bit of a hot mess and I could see him looking at me! I'm not a nasty person but damn, I loved that feeling!

How do you guys react when you see an old flame out and about?

Don't have one but it depends on the terms we had left on!

inb4 "we are still friends anyway" sized mess

Give him a hug and chat it up a bit, we're still on good terms and talk occasionally.

I feel bad for you if you think this isn't possible.

Normally annoyed. but then we both laugh when we make the same disgusted face at each other

Well considering my last ex was a girl and i haven't seen her since I came out, I would probably break a damn heel running off the other direction.

Flaunt my sexy in front of they face since they can't touch this no mo!

Last time I saw my ex, I tried hide behind a mannequin and ended up knocking it over.

act like he doesn't exist

I'm still friend with one of them because we maintain a common interest.

As for the rest, I'd totally ignore them or pretend that I didn't see them.

Nnnn.

Cheating heaux.

I could list the things I would do to him but let me not get into legal trouble therefor I shall remain silent.

Pretend they're not there

this.

OT: Usually I make some nasty comments after that I turn red and walk away

I smile creepily in order to get them to say hello and have a good laugh. They never do

I'd give anything to at least see him again. It's been so long and I miss him.

I end up in the same social gatherings too with my exes too often. So I have to plaster a smile on my face like every time.
