This weekend, our mutual group of friends suggested going to a bar. Normally I go because my ex usually doesn’t come, but this time he will be there.
I think I’ve accepted that it’s over, but I’m still stuck in the pain of realizing it, along with the fear of not finding someone better and also some guilt about certain things.
So here’s my question: should I go so I can see my friends and not deprive myself? Or should I not go to avoid putting myself through what will probably be a very painful experience?
We had said we would stay friends, but he acts cold toward me and barely acknowledges me, and after five years of love together, it feels so awkward and hurtful that it really affects me.
What should I do?

i started asking myself “will this comfort me or wreck me for the next three days?” before putting myself in situations with my ex. sometimes staying home was me protecting myself, not losing.
i forced myself to go once because i didn’t want my world getting smaller after the breakup, but seeing him act cold after YEARS together hurt way more than i expected
i see
Anyway, I’m seeing him in a week at a birthday party, so I’m going to run into him Anyway. Sooo ??
