cherryade Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 My ex and I have a vast pool of mutual friends. So far this hasn't been a problem - everyone seems to have agreed that what he did was wrong, but maintain their friendships with both of us independently. But the ex is coming back to town for Christmas. And I have just heard from a mutual friend that the ex is planning a gathering with everyone. Except me. Obviously this friend has told me this, and thinks it's unfair and plans to invite me herself. I don't even know whether I'd want to go in that situation. But they are my friends too. Yes, some of them were his friends who became friends with me. Others were my friends who became friends with him. But there are several (including the person who told me) who are genuinely mutual friends. I suppose the ex would argue that I could arrange for them all to meet for a second time without him. But realistically that's not going to happen. I'm actually quite upset. I have no particular desire to see the ex, but how dare he try and monopolise the whole of our friendship group.
