Meeting your partner’s ex can be quite stressful. But if your sweetie is beside you then there is no need to work yourself into a nervous frenzy. You could bump into the ex anywhere if he/she live in the same city. The trick is to be prepared and you will sail through any such encounters. It could be at a restaurant or a party where the Ex will also turn up, something you can be prepared. Here are a few tips on how to deal with the discomfort of meeting the ex in your relationship.

Be cordial at all times

The Ex is neither your friend nor your enemy. So avoid being too friendly or overtly hostile. Your manners should be cordial and be nice to the person. The person doesn't want to be friends with you, so you need not be too friendly. Also don’t act bad and give a cold shoulder to the person.

No need to be insecure

Your partner and the Ex broke up for a reason. So you don't have to be insecure about his/her ex. Remember, your partner is with you and not the Ex. So be cool and chill. However, if you have doubts then discuss it with your partner at a private moment.

Quit the competitive act

Your partner and the Ex broke up and you are his/her present. So the ex is no longer in competition. Quit being envious and stop acting competitive. And when the Ex is around, make it a point not to remain by your partner's side permanently, it reflects insecurity.

Maintain your dignity

Maintain your dignity before your partner's Ex at all times. It’s important that you respect yourself and make it a point to ensure that your partner respects you before the Ex or at any other time.
