And now, her friend obviously does know that she and her ex have separated. However, she does not know the whole story and apparently just thinks everyone can remain civil friends.
“[My friend] wants to play this as, ‘I set up two friends, and they dated, and it didn’t work out, but that’s life, and we will all have a Friendsgiving!'” she vented.
So now, she feels like she has three different and upsetting options. The first one is that she could just keep hanging out with her friend while lying about her emotional trauma. Moreover, she could never reveal her ex’s real nature and keep pretending everything is all good– even though she admitted that would make her feel sick.
Second, she could be honest about what truly happened– even though that would really hurt her ex. More specifically, she is confident that her friend would probably immediately cut her ex off. Then, he would be ostracized from their mutual friend group, and it would likely turn into a lot of drama.
“It would also be very humiliating for me to admit to her what happened. I don’t want to do that. I will also come off as a vindictive ex,” she noted.
Finally, her last option is to just distance herself from her friend and stop hanging out with her. However, this would obviously really hurt her friend’s feelings, and it would likely seem as though she was just acting immature and petty.
So now, she honestly has no clue how to handle this situation and is wondering if just telling her friend the truth– even if it may humiliate her ex– would be the best way to go.
Do you think it is important for her friend to know about her ex in case her friend plans on trying to set him up with any more women? Shouldn’t her friend also know since their young danger is interacting with the guy? Should she be worried about her ex being ostracized by his friend group after what he did to her? What advice would you give this woman?
