Re: I COULD USE SOME SUPPORT HERE... minneapolis: The first wedding i went to post-breakup was about 6 months after my husband left me, while we were still in the midst of the divorce. We were very good firends with the couple (he was the best man) so not going was not a choice for me. Nor was bringing someone for support as I was not invited "with guest". I went alone. I agonized over it for weeks. broke down and cried while I was getting ready. Thought I couldn't possibly go. But I did. And I was so thankful. People came out of hte woodwork to talk to me, to tell me they were sorry, to say they were sure it was hard for me to come but would I like to dance? It was really a turning point in my recovery - seeing that people cared and that I could really show up at a social event alone.
Though I must admit that during the toasts, etc. I found myself thinking terribly cynical thoughts. But you know what? I bit my tongue, lifted my glass and had fun.
you can do it.
Re: I COULD USE SOME SUPPORT HERE... PnR: I had to go to a wedding last weekend. It was made worse by the fact I had something with the groom in the past and I really don't like the woman he married (well hardly anyone does).
It just made me realise that I'm probably never going to get married and was just depressing to have to go alone.
Double brandy's help though (or make you feel worse) and at least I looked good in my new dress.
Re: I COULD USE SOME SUPPORT HERE... unhappy: Well, let me start off by saying --it was open bar. Actually I went and had a really great time. No-I didn't hookup but I just hung out with family and danced the night away. I am glad I went.
**thanks for sharing you stories with me..
