Had to leave a church service because of entitled ex
Didn’t think I’d be back here, and especially so soon.
A few weeks ago my friend invited me to an event at his church like an hour’s drive from me. I believe it is a kind of acceptance type thing. I’m not religious, but it meant a lot to him and I said I’d see if I could go to support him and it turns out I was available this morning so did exactly that.
Come 2 days ago, I find out my ex is also going. I said I would keep my promise because it’s about him, and not her. Came up with a plan that I’d just go in when it starts and sit at the back, last in first out type thing. I assumed she also knew about this and was fine, since I said I would to him weeks ago.
This morning came, and apparently she saw me and berated my friend over my presence. He messaged me about it and was super apologetic so we basically agreed I should just not go despite already being in the town.
Suddenly it feels like I’m some sort of creepy obsessed ex. Utterly embarrassing and shit. I can understand if I had dumped her out of nowhere and projected to all our friends about how controlling and jealous the other was, but it was completely the opposite scenario.
Regardless, I feel slightly like everything I’ve gone through, all the new people I’ve met and such over the last 13 months means completely nothing. It’s such a weird feeling and I feel awful about it. But I will try my hardest to not to let it get me down. A big part of me really wanted to stand my ground, but I’m so done with her victimhood bullshit I don’t want to give her the satisfaction of me looking like I cared too much. Any advice bc I’m in the car park rn? 😭
