Pat_Myass Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 My boyfriend won't come to my company's holiday party because he feels weird knowing that a co-worker that I used to sleep with will be there. I am friends with the co-worker but nothing more. I’ve decided to retaliate by not going to his company’s holiday party because there is a co-worker that he used to like will be there. Although they have never kissed, slept together or even held hands, I think it’s only fair. Is he over-reacting or am I? I am also upset because he told me that he would also disagree if I get the occasional lift home from my friend even if it’s the only way for me to get home from work. Thanks for your help.
Pocky Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 Is this an ex-lover or did you have an affair with the coworker?
Merin Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 IMO.. It's ridiculous that he won't attend your company's holiday party with you because an EX of yours will be there.. the part of him NOT wanting you to accept a ride home from this co~worker you had a thing with IMO is justified. You refusing to attend his company's holiday party because he won't attend yours and there is a girl going to be there he used to like is also ridiculous... He should go to yours because he cares about you.. and beside the point isn't that showing the co~worker that HE is in your life NOW? Same goes for you.. shouldn't you go to his party because you care about him.. and it lets the other chicka in question know YOU are with HIM? Joy to the world, and stuff....
Author Pat_Myass Posted December 9, 2004 Author Posted December 9, 2004 This is a guy that I really liked but he was separated from his wife at the time. We saw each other for a few months. We kept things kind of quiet at work but I did blush out of embarrassment when my boss mentioned that we should probably go on a weekend business trip together. There were other people in the room at the time but I don't think any of them suspected what was going on.
bubblygrl5 Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 If you two are solid now, the past is the past and you guys need to stop feeling threatened by people you each dated ages ago. Go to his party and have a good time, and take him to yours! If it was cheating now, I can totally see why he would be irked about not going...in which case you guys have a lot of issues to work out. If it wasnt cheating, than this is just immature behavior! Bubbly
