Reply To: how do i handle this situation?

So, you are the only person in this situation who knows or cares that you have gone NC with B. It is entirely your own feelings you need to think about and if seeing B is going to ruin your good time or send you spiraling, don’t go. Find another time to hang with A and explain ahead of time (via phone or whatever) that you are taking some space from B to let yourself process and get over the end of your relationship with him. If you think you’ll be fine seeing B on Saturday, just go and enjoy yourself. Since you’re the only person who knows you’ve gone NC with B, there’s no need to reach out and explain anything to anyone. Again, you are the person who has the tender feelings around this situation so do what is most protective of your feelings (everyone else will be fine!).
