Seeing my ex at every party is exhausting

My main problem is that I’m forced to see him every party. I’d rather we either stayed friends or stopped seeing each other completely, because this distance and awkwardness are exhausting. After 5 years, I find his behavior disappointing and emotionally immature. I could never treat someone like a mistake just because a relationship ended. I’d rather see it as a gentle moment from my past and be old friendship. Ironically, he’s the one who broke up, yet he seems less emotionally stable than me.

i get why you’re frustrated. one thing that helped me was stopping expecting her to handle it with the same softness i would’ve. i had to learn how to make the party mine again instead of spending the whole night tracking their energy.

has he actually been cold toward you at these parties or is it more the tension and distance between you both that’s eating at you?
