Having to go to the same class as my Ex

So here is the situation.

I want to attend a permaculture course next month, but recently found out my ex girlfriend is going to be attending. I really want to go to this course, but am still very uncomfortable being around her.

It's been over a month since we last talked, and things didn't end as smoothly as I wanted them too. That being said, I don't hate her at all, and believe we can friends, but that's still a ways away.

I want to go to this workshop, but I don't think my emotions can handle it. Should I email her and tell her I might be there, and just get the awkwardness over with, or should I just not go altogether.

 

How about the third option: just go and don't make a big deal out of it?

 

crowbar to her kneecaps should keep her away from the class.

 

If you want to take the class-take the class. Don't let her presence in the class stop you from doing it. If I know and dislike someone in my class I don't sit by them.

 

wow, man up and take the class that you want to take

 

Yeah everyone seems to have the same idea. Don't let your ex get in the way of something you want to do, really how logical is that? Honestly, it may suck at first but you don't have to talk to her or sit near her or any of that. So suck it up and take the class, your giving her too much power and you aren't even together!

 

Man i know how you feel.
I had a girlfriend and i had some good buddies and then we broke up she made big friends with my buddies and my buddies don't talk to me anymore and when i see her in class it's awkward but man, just say hi if you walk past her and do the right thing, take that class.
Like everyone else.

Love.

 

Yeah, ditto what the others have said.

There was a reason you were dating, so she must not be horrible to be around. Suck it up. If you live in the same town this will happen.

The only reason not to do it is if you or she is attending with a new partner. Then, out of respect for the new one, it might not be great to go.

But, it sounds like you should just go.

 

It's not her class, so just go. I mean if you want to and don't mind her presence what's stopping you. If she doesn't like it then i'm sure she can find her way out.

Enjoy your course dude.

 

I agree with Zorba...just go to the class and don't make a big deal of it.

Making a big deal of it, makes for more awkwardness.

 

don't mean to sound rude, but fuck man, you're 30 years old. that should be all you need to hear....

 

i'll admit that threw me off too when i noticed.

i was expecting 17 or something along those lines, based on the post.
