Your situation is a tough one to answer. Only because you deserve to be happy and have a good time around the holidays, and your break up shouldn't stop you from that. The only thing, your not over him, and seeing him may set you back. It could cause you more harm then you think. He might be dating someone and bring her to the gatherings. Are you prepared for that? Can you see him with another woman? If you can and it won't hurt you, then by all means go to the parties. But if it will hurt you, then you might need to rethink things over, and weigh out the situation. Maybe change your plans, so that they won't involve him and you will not see him. I think the break up is still "fresh" and seeing him will cause you some pain. Your doing well, because 6 weeks is a long time. Think of the days it was hard, and you wanted to pick up the phone and call him, but you didn't. You stayed strong, and held your ground. That takes a lot of strength and determination. But you did it, and seeing him will set you back, and you will have to start the process over again. Ask yourself, is it worth it? The process will
I know you want to go out and have fun and you deserve to!! For sure. But, I think you should just hold off and do something else with another group of people if you can. I honestly believe that seeing him will set you back. My sister broke up with her boyfriend four months ago and she was feeling so strong and good that she sent him a Christmas card. He emailed her back and now she's had a MAJOR set back.
You've made it this far. Keep GOING.Perhaps sacrificing for the short term will help you in the long term.

I have to say I agree with dev242.
Hi there,

Just my 2 cents.
I'd stay away from him and those parties if I was you.
Take this xmas off.
