War Child
Hello all. Just another advice thread.
As you may have remember, about a month and a half ago I was expressing my grief I had over a break up I went through on here. Things are better now, and I'm looking forward to a new relationship with someone new, whoever that may be.
However, my ex is making things harder for me now. This Friday, me and bunch of our mutual friends are planning to get together, and I just learned today that he is going to be there. To make matters worse, he's only coming because his girlfriend is going, who he's been dating for about 3 weeks now.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm over him, but whenever I see him with his girlfriend I feel awkward, and maybe a little jealous. I don't know why I feel this way. I have no problem with her personally. I think I'm just jealous of his new RELATIONSHIP, not that a new girl is getting attention.
Me and him barely talk anymore, and when we do, it gets awkward. I've expressed to him that I miss our old friendship, but all he says is that he understands and that he's sorry. I think he just wants me to go away. Although he's openly accepting of me coming to him with problems I want to talk about, being that I've been having some emotional issues lately, I still miss our former, casual, fun friendship.
Now, don't get preachy, but we will be drinking on Friday. I know the dangers, blah blah blah, but it's spring break, and we're generally a safe group to get drunk with. The thing is that his girlfriend gets drunk a LOT, and he doesn't like it, since he denounces drinking. I keep having this urge to drink specifically WITH her, in order to make him mad/jealous, to see that me and her get along. I know this can't be right though, and it makes me feel juvenile.
In all honesty, I'm pretty sure she's gonna dump him soon anyway - she seems bored with him and not too interested, not to mention she's got so much more going for her than a boyfriend that's probably gonna dump her in 4 months, like with me and his other ex.
But enough about that. I just want to know what I should do when I see them and how to handle this situation. I really don't want him to ruin my night by making me upset.
