CantCutitOff Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Okay guys, I'm a little torn what to do in this situation. MM & I work for similar agencies but not the exact same office. The blanket agency which includes all of us is having a function this week one day after work. Many of my co-workers and friends will be there, it's a great PR/networking opportunity for me, and it'll probably be a good time, so I would like to go. Problem: MM will likely be there with his family. I'm on Day 10 of NC. I'm don't know what to do about this! I want to go on w/ my life, and this event would otherwise be a great opportunity to do this. I also will have an out-of-town friend visiting, so that could minimize the impact if I go - and who knows, maybe I can be strong and play my true feelings off. On the flip side, I don't really want to run into him b/c I don't want to feel bad afterwards (which is the norm after running into all of them), and I certainly don't want him to think I'm going to the thing to see him. Help?!?
rossm Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Unless it would be detrimental to your career, I say don't go. You're in day 10. Good so far. No point in setting yourself back. I'm sure there are other functions or events (work or play) you can go to where he won't be there, and you can use those for getting on with your life.

Help?!? I say don’t give up your dream for someone else. Only you know if you can handle this! If you think that you will get sucked in, don’t do it, otherwise I say screw him and go to that event so you can better your career!! Would you go to this event, if you and MM never got together? I just think that it may suck to see his wife and family.
