'I just can’t help but feel so guilty': Girlfriend declines going to her ex's funeral because of her current boyfriend's insecurities, developing regret instead of trust

Attending the funeral of a person who was too young to pass is always heartbreaking. When it's the funeral of your ex lover and friend, the pain can sometimes be insurmountable. However, when it comes to matters of the heart, things are always a bit more complicated than you'd think. One young woman, a 24 year old with a history of heartbreak, recently discovered exactly how complicated things can get with the passing of a loved one, an ex boyfriend to be specific. 

After surviving a 6 year long emotionally tumultuous relationship, u/Weary_Youth_1098 met a man named Matt who would show her how to love again in the most casual way. They first became close friends and knowing that neither of them wanted anything romantically serious, quickly flipped their relationship into a friends-with-benefits situation. Matt was not only her lover but was her dear friend and a mentor– they carried on that way for a long time before Weary became seriously involved with another man. 

Weary started seeing an old flame from high school, Jo, who had confessed his love for her almost immediately. Between the two men, there was two weeks of overlap before Weary and Jo made things exclusive/official, but because she was honest with him, Jo was immediately threatened by Matt's mere existence. Jo and Weary dated seriously for two years after that before Weary got the horrible news: Matt was d3ad. 

Needless to say, she was distraught and sad, but also thinking of Jo's feelings. She avoided the subject until 2 days before Matt's funeral and mentioned to Jo that she'd like to attend to pay her respects to her friend. Jo was pissed and jealous and threw a fuss over how Weary was even considering to go to the funeral of a man she had a s3xual relationship with in the past. 

Woof. 

So Weary didn't go to the funeral. She cancelled her flight and passed on the closure of burying her friend. Now, months later, she's feeling some resentment for Jo and certainly some regrets that may haunt her for the rest of her days.
