mymission Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 My ex broke up with me 5 weeks ago. We were together for 18 months, he lives in a different city about 1 hour 15 mins drive. I was very close to his best friend's fiance. She is 8 months pregnant and I got invited to a surprise babyshower. She's been very supportive with me when I was upset about break up. Anyway the baby shower is tomorrow and the question is should I go? I'm in 2 minds. A.) I've not got much money for petrol and gift B.) Its right by my exes house C.) I've been doing alright for the past few days I feel like going back there would bring it to the forefront But like I say she's been very good to me and I feel like I owe her. Hmmmmmmmmmmm
TaraMaiden Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 yes, but you're going to see her, not him. And maybe you could ask someone to just lend you some cash for fuel until payday, because..... and give the reason..... so your relationship is over. he's your ex. He really can have no effect on how you live your life, and neither should you let him.... contact this girl, explain the financial situation to her, tell her what's on your mind, but you really want to go... Then go.
smudge21 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 The moment you're break up starts affecting the relationship you have with your friends is a very sad time indeed. If you don't go, you will truly regret it in the long term - you'll be angry with him and yourself for letting this get to the point where it stopped you doing what you wanted to do. Besides, staying busy and keeping in touch with friends is the best course for healing. As for the travel costs, yeah I know what you mean. That budget just hammered everything I enjoy - petrol prices so drivings out, alcohol has gone up in price and even take away food too. If the internet goes up in price I'm doomed!
Author mymission Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Yesss true! I've bought the gift now!
Chi townD Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 YAY!!! You're going! You need to celebrate her new baby and her happiness especially when she was so supportive of your situation. She's proven to be a really good friend and it would be wise to be there for her.
TaraMaiden Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Yesss true! I've bought the gift now! you'd better come back and tell us how great it was!!
smudge21 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Nice one. Go have fun with the people who appreciate, respect and love you.
