Renee, The things he's saying will come home to bite him at some point. He's bragging about his conquests to the younger guys because he wants them to think he's still got it. As for what he's says about you to others....it's to justify why he's doing what he's doing. What should you do? Ignore the gossip. People who bring you gossip are going to take gossip right back to him. They want to see what your reaction will be to what they are telling you because they are drama kings and queens. The best way to diffuse such gossip is not to react and/or comment on it. The less you react, the less likely you will hear about it again. Diffuse the siuation by telling the other person, "thank you for being concerned, but I really do not want to hear about it". Stop fueling the fire of the gossips.
Why feels sorry for him? He's the one that has put himself in this position. He knows exactly what he's doing.
Hold your head up high, back straight and continue moving forward. This is your special day, put him and his young chic in the closet and do not bring them out again today.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
