My 25th high school reunion is this weekend. A girl that I went to school with has kids at our kids school and got my W's phone# and asked her if we were going. She told me this one day last week. I didn't really say anything and my first thought was, no way am I going alone. At my 10 yr reunion, my W was my girlfriend, at the 20th, she was my wife and mother of my three kids with one on the way, and now she is my STBXW. I didn't want to face anyone or face the questions of where my W was.
I have made up my mind to go alone. I didn't ask W if she was going or not, I know better. I will go and make my W think I can't wait to see everyone and that I will have a great time. I am open to having a great time and I hope I do. Maybe there will be some old flames in similar situations, you never know.
Just another reminder of what used to be.
For my 20th, me and the 6 guys I was closest to in school (we're still really tight)rented a cabin at the resort where the reunion was held (9 miles from our school). NONE of us brought our wives; mostly because none of the wives went to our high school and really didn't know anyone. It was more to spare them the boredom, but served the dual purpose of letting us be high school jackasses again.
Even the women in our class were envious - saying "how in the hell did you pull off coming without your wives? Wish we could have done that!" People poured into our cabin for an afterparty when the reunion was over. Had a blast.
So I guess I'm wondering why you might think twice about going to your reunion alone...
