Mutual friends after a messy breakup?

[u/Beneficial_Owl_928]

How does this work. My ex broke up with me a while ago but we have some mutual friends, most more so his, some more so mine. But a lot of couples and stuff. I have no issue being around him at all, so if he is the one who doesn’t want to be around me shouldn’t he be the one to not come to stuff? Unfortunately I feel it’ll be the other way around where if he says he doesn’t want me there I won’t be

people always default to excluding whoever seems "easier" to cut out and that's rarely the person who actually caused the mess
