Just go. No two ways about it. You don't need to hang around with him. The only reason not to go is if there are lingering feelings and you're likely to get wasted and say stupid stuff you regret on the first day of 2006!

That sucks. I guess if you both don't care for each other anymore then it would be easier but that is never the case. I can imagine how you could feel in close proximity to him...

I guess you should go but just hang around with people you know who understand your situation, I'm sure they will make an effort so you will have a good time.

Yeh if you still have feelings for him then don't go because drink will just make it worse but if not then go and show him what he's missing, get yourself back onto the singledom scene and have fun! xx

Hiya just broke up with bf last week but we were invited to his mates party, I wana go and have a laugh and mingle with people but hes not sure coz hes going too :frown: I have no other plans and sure things will be weird but I wanna go?


looking at it from your ex's point of view, it is his mate not yours, and you were only invited when you were part of the ocuple which you are now not. ive been in the situation where my ex was invited to my mates party, he went and just irritated me the whole night. so soon after a break up surely its better to keep your distance?

^ well said.

If the people at the party were all his friends then you should let him enjoy the night with them. I know all i would want to do after a break up is spend sometime with my mates and with most break up situations (even mutually friendly ones) the last thing i would want would be my ex there. Give the guy some space.

Well you can go and say to yourself "Ha! He doesn't affect me I can still do what I want." But deep down you know as soon as he moves in that direction, your eyes, if not your whole body, will be gravitating toward his new location. I went to a party last year that my ex showed up to about a month after we cut things off. We were pretending to have good times in from of eachother, i.e laughing louder than we should or saying stuff so we could hear eachother. It was kind of pathetic. I was also paranoid every time he left the room "is he with another girl?" So in the end the night was kind of ******...and hooking up with another guy to temporarily make yourself feel better, just makes things worse :smile: But do what u feel is best hun
