recursive

Ok, so this is an annoying fucked up situation and I am going to rant about it, but briefly I promise.

So the crux of it is that my ex-girlfriend (whom I have a ton of mutual friends with) is annoyed because she feels like she can't bring her new boyfriend out to social situations with our mutual friends because if she is bringing him I'm probably not going to go. We talked about this awhile ago and I said that if she wants to bring him along, cool, I just want to know ahead of time so that I'm not surprised with his presence. Now since it was her desicion to dump me after five years with no discussion, and then promptly start going out with someone else, I feel like I'm not asking for alot here.

So I find out tonight that she is pissed off because she still feels like she can't bring him anywhere. Because if I then don't go everyone will know why and it will be uncomfortable for both of them.Now I'm sorry for her situation, but is this really my problem? This was all her choices that brought us here, and I feel like I am trying to be reasonable. I have told a variety of people that if she wants to bring him it's ok, i can live without going out with everyone bowling some night or whatever. I'm a big boy, I'll live. But damn, how much sympathy is she really expecting out of me?

Blech. I'm not sure that was that brief after all, but damn this is frustrating.
