Ask Grace: Your Ex’s Wedding

February 11, 2010 | by Social Grace

Dear Social Grace,

My ex-boyfriend is getting married this Saturday and I’m a mess! We dated for about four years and we were serious before going through a pretty bad break-up. I thought I had moved on but now I’m consumed with the feelings of frustration and jealousy. What should I do to put him out of my mind?!! I don’t want to be the catty girl who won’t let him move on or let myself move on!

Dear Feeling Low,

First of all, you are over-analyzing this entire situation way to much! It’s normal to have mixed feelings when you see someone that you were once intimate with moving on in such a dramatic way. It’s okay to feel these feelings; the important thing to do is to go forward with your head held high! It sounds like you hardly thought about him before you heard the news of his upcoming nuptials and you should keep that same mentality. Make his special day a special day of your own: treat yourself to a pedicure or get together with your girlfriends! Bottom line: the past ended long ago so be in the moment and have fun!

XOXO,

Grace
