Is there an etiquette for correct behaviour when meeting an "ex"?
A friend of mine posted this on Facebook:
That special moment when you weasel out of meeting with your ex like the chickenshit baby that you are...
and it feels so good."
The whole question intrigues me, the FB friend who posted this is fairly recently married, btw. If you are happily married or involved with someone else, have no intention of being unfaithful, and you encounter your ex, what is the best way of dealing with this social minefield? esp. if your current other half is with you when you meet the ex?

A true lady or gentleman would never embarrass other people... they would be polite and keep any meeting or conversation short and as far as possible non-controversial. You might say you hope they are in good health, wish them well, and say you are pleased to have seen them. Under no circumstances should you ever suggest taking it any further, no half-hearted comments like I hope to see you again or call me. Neither give nor receive anything that could be passed on as gossip... don't share your news or tell them about other people... it might well come back to haunt you later.
We are measured all the time by how people see us... so it pays to always be on our best behavior.
