Figuring Out What Comes Next

[Dawn70]

I’ll admit I was one of the ones who advocated for asking WG early on. I “got it” then and I still get it now because I’m not an idiot. With all due respect, though, Don, you were under a deadline to ask someone and at the time she was your best option based on your own postings of what was happening. Sure, y’all weren’t exclusive, you saw others, she saw others, but when push came to shove and it got to the time you had to name names, who else could you have named? You, understandably had quite the dilemma, not wanting to go alone, yet not wanting to choose someone too early and risk facing the repercussions of that person backing out for whatever reason. Hindsight is 20/20, my friend. It’s easy for all of us to say things in giving advice and all of that but I don’t think anyone, yourself included, could’ve predicted how this whole thing shook out. You were having fun, she was a good option at the time and you made a decision.

I get what LH and J9 are saying about go, hook up, have fun, as they have been saying that all along. I also get what you’re saying about “letting” her go is really your best option. I am pretty sure I’m still in the same camp with Ginger and juju about wondering how fun it can really be at this point, knowing all you know. Granted, you are a single man and maybe she considers herself single too, but it doesn’t really seem as though her new man sees himself as single. You have to do what works best for you and you’ve been dealt a pretty sh!tty hand of cards with this one, but I hope, however it works out, that you come away with some peace and you find a way to enjoy the trip.
