How you respond to "how have you been?" from your ex-boyfriend depends on your feelings and the nature of your relationship. Here are a few approaches:
-
Casual and Friendly:
- "Hey! I've been good, thanks! Just keeping busy with work and life. How about you?"
-
Neutral:
- "I've been okay, just the usual. How have you been?"
-
Open and Positive:
- "I've been doing well! Trying out some new things. How about you?"
-
Honest (if you're comfortable sharing your feelings):
- "It's been a bit of a ride, but I'm doing okay. How about you?"
Choose the response that feels right for you and aligns with how you want to communicate with him.
