If she had gone to see a concert alone or with a friend, I wonder if you would be having this reaction. If not, I think that that is the crux of the issue-that when you get reminded of reality (that she has a daughter who is not you, and that she has a boyfriend and yes, a sex life) you can't handle it. So instead of staying in this super painful space and spinning around (because this issue will continue to exist regardless of whether specific things like this occur) why not DO something to bring about change in your life??

This whole situation truly sounds excruciating and I genuinely empathize-but why stay in it? That's what I don't understand.

Yes. I do, however, live directly across the street from my work and spend a LOT of time there even when not working so it does feel like home.

If she went with her friend to see a baroque concert or anything else, I would have shocked to see her, but excited. If she went to a concert with her boyfriend and he wasn't the same pdoc I commented on, it would have been similar only slightly more uncomfortable became I definitely would have checked him out a little because I do that to most guys and also out of curiosity. If she went with him and he was that pdoc, I would have just been pissed. But once you add her daughter into the equation, I'm crushed.
Thanks for this!
