Nothing much to update here. WAH and I have been texting a little bit. He has not asked to see me but has been dropping friendly compliments in every text conversation which is a little different. Nothing to get excited over.
I'm wondering about your advice. I have been invited to a big party by a mutual friend of WAH and me. WAH will be attending and likely OW1 as well. Maybe even some of WAH's other OWs or wannabe OWs.
Now I can hear what some of you will say "why subject yourself to this? of course you should not attend!!!"
But part of me wants to attend to show OWs, WAH and other acquaintances that I am doing fantastic, and that I am not afraid or embarrassed or upset and don't need to hide or avoid anyone.
I have heard from a few people recently that I look amazing and seem like I am doing fantastic. So I guess this is a good time to show off? I don't feel that fantastic to be honest. I'm in a bit of a January funk I think, but I guess I'm hiding it somewhat well...
What do you think? Is there any benefit/harm to me attending the party, looking fantastic and showing them all I am doing better than ever?
I have already run into OW1 in public twice and pretended I did not see her, and I see many other co-acquaintances around town at parties and bars. So it is only a matter of time before we meet anyway. Maybe this is a way I can be in control of that first meeting we will end up having?
We used to be friends, OW and I. She stopped communicating with me as soon as BD and then I discovered that WAH had started seeing her. But she was friendly with me up to a few days before BD. So she knows what she has done. Maybe she is even more nervous to see me than I am to see her?
It could also be a good opportunity to observe how WAH behaves when several of his ex-women are in one place. It could be telling. And it could be funny to see him squirm.
Anyway, I would love your advice and opinions. I am still undecided.
