Dear Carolyn: My friend Jane just told me, as a courtesy, that she has struck up a connection with my ex-boyfriend John and that things are headed in a romantic direction. John and I dated for about three years ending a year and a half ago; I consider him the one that got away and still have raw feelings of pain when I think of him. There are still local restaurants and social events I avoid so that I dont have to run into him as I try to ready myself for the possibility of a new relationship someday.
Jane did not ask my permission to date John I would not expect…
