AIBU to go away with another man

[Mosschops30]

Me and Dh have been separated for two months.
He bought me concert tickets for my birthday in June but after split he asked if I wanted to buy them, which I couldn't afford, he's now going with others, no idea who.

An old friend from school also has tickets to same concert, he was going with his brother who's not that fussed on the band. He has asked if I want to go with him.

Nothing dodgy suggested, I will get a room somewhere as will he I imagine. He said he'd much rather go with someone who loves the music.

I'm just thinking it would be my luck to run into h out of thousands of people and it would be awful if he saw me with a man so soon.
My friend said I should go but tell h what I'm doing

WWYD? AIBU to go?

Punish yourself and don't go

Or

Just flipping go and enjoy the music

Go and enjoy yourself. Don't bother explaining beforehand. If you do happen to bump into DH then introduce your friend to him as what he is, "an old school friend" (if you feel it's necessary, I personally don't think you have to explain yourself to him).

Enjoy!

Go to the gig, but explain to your ex who you'll be going with.

He tried to sell you your own birthday present? How thoroughly delightful of him

I really don't think you owe him a second thought, let alone an explanation, and you certainly shouldn't be passing up a lovely night out with a friend just in case your ex chances to see the two of you together and thinks you're getting together with someone new.

And does it really matter if he does see you with this guy and think you've got a date? Not really his business any more is it? And if he does see you and wants to know who the man is you can easily explain then.

I'd go and have a good time and try not to give him another thought.

Why do you care what your ex and his friends think?

He's your EX. You need to get on with your life.

I'd think the same the other way round too.
