    Really bad timing, split up with fiance 2months ago, been licking my wounds& have no real interest in dating again at the moment.
    Have 4 weddings this summer, 2friends, 2 family- debating whether to bring someone (good distraction, moving onwards, too much pressure on possible future blossoming relationship?), or go it alone (sad dumped singleton desperate to meet someone, or brave liberated independant singleton?). Siblings both coming with +1's, all known friends at both weddings will also be coming with partners. Help please!

    Hi there, sorry for your hurt... sounds like you are hurting a lot from your relationship ending. Give yourself some time out. Ease up on the sad dumped singleton lines too, you're not helping yourself, how many people are out there who have never been in a relationship and are fulfilled and happy, do you think it makes them less than anyone who's married? There really is more to life, look around at it to see more than that.

    If you feel the weddings are going to make you feel low in yourself, be honest about it and don't go. It won't be the end of the world for anyone either, if I had a friend or family member in your position I would not just expect them to come along to my wedding, a level of sensitivity is needed. Personally I'd book myself a fantastic holiday and sacrifice one or two of those weddings to get myself on the mend before attempting the four weddings and a happy face charade...if you need fixing, go fix yourself, you'll be more use to your friends and family after you've looked after yourself...and stop worrying about what people think of you and how you should come accross, people are very understanding when you're honest about stuff.... best of luck :)
