How should I react to a guy finding out through mutual friends that I dated other guys to get over him?

[Anonymous]

Should I just ignore it? I feel mildly embarrassed that they told him.

You wrote you did not even sleep with your dates. What is actually embarrassing about it? It is normal that you look for a new partner after a breakup.

It is reasonable to take a break before starting again, but who can be reasonable all the time?

Either way you can ignore this and you do not have to justify anything to your ex.

What else did u expect why would u even say that lol

[Asker]

Because I’m naive and thought he’d keep his trap shut.

[boggboss]

But why would he when he iws u no loyalty

[Asker]

Point taken

[Asker]

So what would be the smart way of handling it, when everyone knows? I think there’s no shame in everyone knowing, but I would’ve preferred that people minded their own business, like I do.

[boggboss]

What do u mean if everyone already knew then telling him changed nothing expecting people to act the same way u do is unrealistic

[Asker]

The others didn’t know until he told *Ian* then *Ian* pretended to be a guy taking my surname and he posted that way, when he knew I’d see it.

[Asker]

So I think the implication is there that they’ve all been discussing me.

[Asker]

Should I ignore it?

[boggboss]

Yeah

[KrakenAttackin]

"Dated' is a polite term 😂😂😂

[Asker]

I agree, considering that they asked me to be their mistress.

[KrakenAttackin]

You mean "fuck buddy".

[Asker]

No. I didn’t sleep with any of them.

[ZXCwWRQWz]

Ditch the snitches.

[In_Trance]

what does it matter

[Asker]

Good point. I feel mildly embarrassed but I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

[Asker]

I just want to know how to handle it with grace.

[Asker]

Should I just ignore it and not get involved?

[In_Trance]

ignore it all

[Asker]

Ok 😊
