The span of the last three months has been the most painful and most beautiful I have yet to experience in my life, and it is a joy and a wonder to already see benefits of the struggle.

The tackiness of my ex’s new relationship being all over facebook for the world to see a month after our two year relationship ended is finally getting to me. Because we live in a small city, have many mutual friends, and he plays in my favorite local bands (they were my favorites before he started playing with them, just to be clear), it is inevitable that I will see him again. And just as inevitable that I will see them together. I don’t want him back and I’m nowhere near ready to make nice. I just want to handle that moment with dignity when it comes.
I know that this situation could be way worse than it is, believe me, but I have never had to deal with something like this before. I’m trying very hard to be classy…advice would be extremely appreciated.
