How do you deal with being forced to be in a room with someone you really dislike?
This is difficult with me 'cos, as a general rule, I don't really tend to fall out with people (I'm relatively easy-going and people generally seem to quite like me!)
However there is one person (another guy - this is isn't a relationship-centric thing!) who I do currently feel a fair deal of anger towards.
As it happens, they're friends with various of my friends (most of whom don't know there's a problem between us - I'm not even sure if the guy himself knows that he's pushed me too far and my patience has finally snapped with him) and tonight I'm going to have spend an evening with them for the first time since a really serious problem has developed between us.
How should I deal with this? On the one hand I don't want to be a doormat, or a hypocrite, or 2-faced but on the other hand I don't want to be an idiot about things and ruin both mine and other people's evenings.
So how should I behave?
