4 Emotions You May Experience Seeing Your Ex-Husband In Public

Running into your ex-husband after the divorce can bring up a lot of mixed feelings and reactions, especially if you were together for a long time.

For me it was almost 30 years! In this video, I go through 4 powerful emotions that I experienced and how you might react, too.

1. Anxiety

The first emotion I went through was anxiety – “How would this person react to seeing me? How would I react?”.

My initial reaction surprised me! 

I was quite emotional when I ran into my ex-husband and I didn’t expect to get so overwhelmed with emotions.

2. Acceptance

The next emotion I experienced was acceptance. I noticed him and he noticed me back and life continued. It was strange at first, especially because we had such a long shared history, but I thought it was a true testimony to the amount of inner work and self-healing I had done after the divorce!

3. Appreciation

The third emotion I went through was appreciation. I kept running into my ex-husband in public and every time I had only gratitude in my heart for the opportunity to meet him and share a part of my life with him.

Eventually, it felt like the Universe was testing me and how I’d respond as I continued to run into him, which is what made the situation a little bit more humorous than dramatic.

4. Ambivalence

Last but not least, I experienced somewhat of ambivalence as I realized that our soul contract together had been completed. It was OK to move in a different direction and welcome new connections and adventures!
