Hi all,
First, thanks for the help. It's been tough. That bad news is that it looks like things got worse.
I just got back from a party where I bumped into my ex. Tonight was all the more special because he had brought a date to the evening's festivities! Yikes. In an effort to avoid what was certain to be an uncomfortable remainder of the evening, I grabbed a friend of mine who knew what I was going through and took off.
My friend, Chris, knows the situation, and as such, I consulted him on what to do. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have much of an answer for me.
Do I have a right to be upset that he showed up with a date when we are/were still messing around? Or was I simply playing with fire and got burned in the process? Should I confront him about it and/or advise him of what I'm going through?
Part of me wants to tell him how I'm feeling, so as to let him know that I was hurt. Another part of me, however, says that it will do no good, and that I'm just likely to be more hurt by whatever response he may provide.
Susan, to answer some of your questions, yes, i do (perhaps, *did*, at this point) hope that somehow we would reignite the romance between us. I realize now (after reading your message), that my desire to be back together extends beyond him, and is somewhat due to my own insecurity with being alone.
I'm so extremely hurt. I wish I could find the words to describe it. It's a pain that I fear will never go away, and one that I abhore having to live with.
