Been with Dp a year. All going well. He left his w 18mths ago after a bad few years. She was and is still very up and down about it.
He didn't introduce me to lots of his friends for a while as he thought it was rubbing ex's face in it but recently I have started to get to know them. Him and I have been invited to a friend of his birthday soon. His ex will be there too. He's told me he wants to go but doesn't want me to go as he thinks it will be awkward for him, his friends and will inflame things with his ex. I can totally see the logic in this but I feel really hurt by it.
I know it's hard when people get new partners but dp and I are in it for the long haul and at some point she'll have to see us together and there will no doubt be quite a few "mutual friends" events over the years.
He thinks I'm being "unbelievable". I want to be the kind of person who says "sure go, have fun" but I feel hurt that he's wanting me to get to know his friends but then not wanting me to go anywhere his ex will be. I guess I feel left out. I know she will feel hurt too and I hate that (even though i know if it wasn't me it would be someone else.)
Am I being hugely over sensitive?
