You're right. The rejection is so hard. And not being able to see my friends is lonely too. To counter I am keeping myself busy with other stuff.
My girlfriend and I had a nice time last night at the movie. We were able to talk before and after and that helped. She didn't think it was fair for him to set the pub as off limits to me, because so many of my/our friends are there. She thinks that it is a kind of control issue with him right now, and that sometime soon I should stop in and have a glass of wine if she and her hysband are there. She also agrees that he won't make himself look like a fool in front of our friends.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
