@Sugarskullgurl,
Sorry you're going through such pain.
You need to move on...as much as it hurts you now. Too much damage has been done. He's trying to move on, too. Let him do this.
Learn your lessons. Going out with his best friends? No excuse for that...as there were so many other people whom he didn't know that you could have gone out with. You should be careful and manage your alcohol too when out with a date. That is not a judgment..that is just common sense.
