After much deliberation and several conversations with my good female friends, I decided to go. I unblocked my ex to tell him that I am aware he is going, that I am going, and to reiterate that I do not want him approaching me in any way.... I am heading it off.

This is important to me. It's my community, coming together to mourn AND celebrate the life of a beloved friend.... I want to be there.

Jay and I discussed it. We will not do any PDA in front of my ex, and we will just lay low in terms of that.
