Episode 260: Ex & the City - Unexpected Encounters, Setting Boundaries, & “Can We Really Be Friends?"

AsianBossGirl

After a difficult breakup, many people often want space to heal, reflect, and forget. But when your ex still lives in the same city as you, it’s difficult to avoid familiar spaces that you used to share together. Your favorite bar might remind you of that person, things can get awkward if you have mutual friends, and you could even run into them at the grocery store. Whether it was a long-term relationship, a situationship, or a hookup, running into an ex can bring up some complicated feelings. So how can you mentally prepare yourself for these situations, reclaim spaces for yourself, and ultimately reach a place of healing and peace? In this episode, we share our top tips based on personal experiences & our most awkward run-ins with an ex.
