Dear Abby,

So, this is akward. My friend is dating my ex-girlfriend. We only dated for like 2 months, but I really liked her. They both asked me if I'd be ok with it and I said yes because I thought I'd be fine. I was wrong. We all hang out in a big group together so I see them together all the time. What should I do?

Dear Sad,

Here's the part that's hard. You told them you were fine with the idea. The deed has been done, and now it's going to be hard to go back on your word. They obviously care about how you feel since they asked your permission first. Remember, feelings can't be helped. I'm sure they didn't purposely fall for each other. If seeing them together is too hard for you, you might want to sit down with them to discuss how akward it is for you. You can't ask them to not show emotion for each other, but maybe until you can be comfortable with them together, they can take a little breather. Hope all goes well for you.
