Just a Saturday night with the high school crowd

[saucydiva]

I went to my high school reunion, and I don’t know yet if it was a mistake.

You don't need to be over it yet. You should be whatever you need to be. I'm so sorry, darling.

And like I said, I'm pretty sure you dodged a bullet because V seems SUPER unstable.

Please remember I have Americone Dream in my freezer if you need to get out of the house. <3

Agreed on all counts, except I do not have Americone Dream in my freezer. V is obviously an idiot and unworthy of you, and you should let me know if there is anything at all I can do for you from all the way over here and HUGS, additional hugs for diaphenia.

No, you're not over it, and don't let that throw you too much. It was someone who'd been important to you years ago, so getting involved again was a big deal. It's not someone you you'd never known before. Makes sense to me

ITA with this. Especially, "Sometimes a big heartache hits people like you harder. "

Because yes.

[popgurlie]

all of this.

the only thing i'd add is that you should use this as a milestone of something difficult that you got through the next time you're faced with a situation that feels overwhelming. you went in with very reasonable expectations and got hit with a far more emotionally difficult situation -- yes, you felt shaky (UNDERSTANDABLE), but you stayed and that is pretty fucking awesome and brave. you are pretty fucking awesome and brave. i will make you a button to remind you :)

That sounds really awkward and hard to get through, but you survived with your dignity, and now it's over, thank god, right? It almost seems like he is trying to rub it in your face talking to your friend like that, and if he is, what a dick. You are totally winning the breakup because you haven't done anything dickish to him.

Try not to be too hard on yourself in the meantime. You cared about him, and this hit you out of the blue, and breakups suck. You were happy before, and you will be happy again, and there's no timeline you have to stick to for that. Just take care of yourself.

So sorry to hear that it turned out to be upsetting and awkward for you. I'll agree V does sound like an immature dick, and one who was out to hurt you in this case, and while it hurts right now, I hope in time it'll feel like it was a good thing that you two broke up.

You know I hope for all the best for you. <3

Dude. Your ex showed up at the reunion despite multiple assertions that he wasn't going to, and then cornered your friend to boast about his ~*brand new relationship*~. We can debate whether you won the breakup, but the breakup in itself was def a win for you.

Elle is a beautiful panda princess and she's totally right.

[princess_george]

I did not know some of that. Excellent points. Also showing, possibly, that *he* was quite eager to "win the breakup." In a way that I can't imagine his new girlfriend would find super-reassuring.

[ballroom_pink]

I agree! with this!
