HAVING TO SEE EX AGAIN
Sun, 01-02-2005 - 11:14pm
Hello,
My boyfriend of two months broke up with me just before the holidays. We are both classmates and are attending graduate school in Washington. I am at home in NY and he is with his family so the time spent apart has helped me cope with things. He has called me a couple of times to wish me a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. However, I am not looking forward to seeing him again in January once the spring semester starts, not so much for the awkwardness, but more knowing that things will not be the same again. In the past, whenever there has been a breakup, I never had to see the other person again and therefore, I have been able to get over the person more easily. I don't have any ill feelings for my ex; I understand where he's coming from, but it will still be difficult for me to see him everyday. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this?
Thanks!
Katherine
