Your strength & Courage is AMAZING

I came here to ask a question about whether or not I should go to wedding my ex will be at. But now, the question seems so silly and petty when I see people going through really pain and more recent break-ups. I just wanted to say, iT IS HARD. IT DOES STINK, but you will come out the other side. I journal about mine,., blog about mine, talk to girlfriends and reach out here about mine. Just do what makes you feel best and hang in there!!!

Hi kayla,
No question is too petty or small. We get all kinds of stuff here, some major, some minor, all of it can mess with a person's emotions.
Without knowing your story, my usual response to this situation is, "Yes, most definitely go." It's about them that day, not you, not your ex. You would be going to the wedding I'm sure to support good friends of yours in a major milestone in their lives. You don't get those too often, and in a couple years' time, you may regret not going. Rarely have I ever heard of a person regretting attending their friend's wedding simply because an ex was there.
I'm sure your friends would understand if you didn't go, but running from an awkward situation doesn't help, facing it does. You know, you'd probably surprise yourself with your own strength and courage. Keep your wits and your dignity about you and go easy on the bubbly.
Welcome to the board.
