Smarty Pants Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 I've posted about my situation in the past, but here is a quick run down: Girlfriend of 2 years, on and off for two years prior, broke up with me in November. We took a "break" which turned into a breakup "magically". We continued to hang out or whatever for two more months. She had a 'friend' on the side throughout our relationship, something I didn't know about. He started taking her on dates while we were still hanging out. Eventually she told me we couldn't see each other anymore. After two weeks of the normal begging and pleading, I backed off. She lives with my best friend, so I have had to be around in her certain situations. None of these events have gone well. I had been clinging on to hope that she would come around, and we would find ourselves in these one on one situations where things felt like they were back to normal. After the last event that ended with me getting very upset (not with her, just being around her), I went full NC. It's been a month. There is now a big music festival tomorrow and she has been telling everyone that she isn't going so that I could have fun (its my birthday tomorrow as well). Just to be sure, I texted her tonight to see if she was coming. She replied "yeah, if thats ok". I don't know how I feel about being around her. We have both agreed that we can't be friends because there are still feelings there, especially on my end. She is riding with us, in a separate car from me. It is a big festival and there will be tons of people. But she doesn't really have any other friends to hang out with. I am going to try my best to avoid her as much as possible. Unfortunately, I won't be able to drink as much as I wanted so that I can keep my emotions in check. Any advice on how to handle being around her? I know when she gets drunk she will want to talk to me and hang around me.
Poppyolive Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Yay music festivals!! Have fun, enjoy the camping, friends, music and fun! When you all arrive say hello and get on with enjoying yourself. Be aware your friends are there enjoying themselves too do not make any awkwardness, mean comments etc... If you feel emotional go for a walk around the grounds. If she makes any attempts to talk, hang out say its not the time or place to do this, let me enjoy my birthday. Don't welcome any talks, engage in drinking with her....keep your head in check. Have a blast & happy birthday!! What festival & whos headlining?
