Hi NicciK-I can totally understand how you feel the way that you do. Sometimes people don’t realize that it’s hurting another person. I think that if you spoke to him and said how it makes you feel and not pointing out what he does wrong that it might help. Communication can be a hard thing for some people. Good luck 🙂

You know I was really hoping someone else would respond to this because I am in a similar situation as you. I have told myself that I shouldn’t stop going to events due to the possibility of him being there. I have also realized that I need to give myself some time as well and not attend the meetups just yet. I have accepted that there will be some awkwardness at first, and that hopefully this will pass in due time.

Best of luck to you! I know this is hard and not a comfortable feeling.
