Going to a wedding dateless when my ex will be there ....

[poppylooo]

We split up 20 months ago.
He treated me awful in the relationship and when he ended it ..he just stopped responding then caused a argument so he could take the easy way out.
Anyway two weeks time I'm at a wedding where he will be...
He is with someone now and has been for 1 year and I'm still single
Aibu to take a date to the wedding?
Would you ? So I don't look so pathetic

I would go by myself but when I say I would make an effort x 1000000 to look absolutely out of this world. Being by yourself does not make you look pathetic by any means, but I would be showing him what he's missing, dance and smile all night. You'll have a much better time rather than entertaining a date. Go for it girl x

I would take a friend. Male or female and made sure I looked amazing.

I had this exact situation many years ago. I asked a male friend to go with me but before the wedding found a new boyfriend. Male friend laughed and said he assumed his fake date services were no longer required. It was fairly awful seeing my ex but his girlfriend was wearing what looked like my gran's curtains so that made me feel better. Good luck!

Make sure you look a million dollars, don’t even glance in his direction, and yeah, rope in a date if you can. The hunkier the better. If not, take a friend, go steady on the alcohol, and have the time of your life.

Take someone or not but absolutely do not be intimidated or feel otherwise crap over his new relationship.
He's not really taken any time to reflect or change and is likely having the same relationship again and it's likely it'll end the same way and he'll wend his way through life in the same type of miserable relationships again and again.

Go, get dressed up, shine like a diamond and be really thankful you're not him.

Do you have lots of other good friends going? If so, go alone and just have a great time with your mates.

I did this at my ex's DB's wedding and snuck off for a snog with one of the other guests!

Hire a crazy hot escort 😂

Like pp have said - make sure you look amazing! New outfit, nails hair etc - bring a mate along - preferably better looking than ex! Don't look in his direction at all - think, what would Beyoncé do? all night

Unfortunately the only other person I know is the bride.
So if I go alone I'm gonna be on my own ...not really the type who can just strike a conversation with anyone

Have you been told you can take a plus 1? If so, is there anyone you'd like to take? A good friend etc?

"He treated me awful in the relationship" - why do you give a toss, good riddance, shake for his new GF. If you don't know anyone else there then not like anyone even knows. Weddings are a, great place to meet someone. Why not take a friend? Look fab and have fun.
