Slept with ex last night, raging with myself

Totally unreasonable and so angry with myself!

Myself and ex have been finished just over a year and it was dreadfully hard at times (when he met someone else etc, didn't last though). Recently we've really found new ground and been getting on really well as friends, just at drop offs and pick ups etc we'd have a coffee together and a chat. It's been really nice to finally be civil and friendly for DDs sake.

Last night we ended up at a party together and the night was great, totally platonic etc but we ended up back at mine and slept together.

I feel such a fool, like I've undone all my hard work of moving on from the situation Sad

Have i? How do I ensure things swoop right back to normal and that I don't give this a second thought? Sounds so juvenile I know but it's taken so much for me to get back to normal.

Just think of it as a blip. A bit like someone on a diet who succumbs to a single cream cake. It doesn't negate all your hard work. Just get back on the horse, as it were, and carry the fuck on.

As long as you used protection then to treat it as a one night stand.

Humm I'd just player it out, just pretend it didn't happen, certainly to him make a joke out if it.

Kind of like quiting smoking....you were doing well but you got bit tipsy and had one. Doesn't mean you're still not quitting !

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. There had to have been some physical attraction for you have DD. Wink

You slipped up. No biggie. Just accept you made a mistake and try not to do it again.

BOFster · 17/08/2014 21:01

Don't "carry the fuck on". That would be the opposite of what you should do Grin.

Ach, these things happen. Just don't do it again. But you know that.

Fanfeckintastic · 17/08/2014 21:02

Haha Oh thank you, I haven't had much sleep and I'm probably over complicating it in my head. Seems like such a disaster but I suppose it's not the end of the world.

No it's not the end of the world! It's only sex.

LiberalLibertines · 17/08/2014 21:19

Don't get pissed with him again would probably be a good idea.

But no, don't beat yourself up, did you have a hang over too?

Urgh here have some Cake and Brew and try to forget it :)

BabyGoose · 17/08/2014 21:23

Forgive yourself. Right now this second - it's bloody hard to do but do it right this moment. Draw a line. Move on.

You'll be back to your usual fabulous self tomorrow.

AnyFucker · 17/08/2014 21:24

Next time, have a cream cake Grin

Trills · 17/08/2014 21:26

I agree with AnyFucker.

You've had a cream cake. That's in the past. Just try not to fill the fridge with cakes in future (= put yourself in situations where you will be alone with him and drunk).
