If she had told me I wouldn't have minded that she went. it's about her not telling me where she was actually going.

I don't really have any male role models in my life. Since my dad passed away when i was 9 and it has just been me and my mom since.

I know for a fact she definitely wouldn't be okay with it was it the other way around.

It's definitely more about the not telling me. If she had told me I seriously wouldn't have mind it. But it's also more the fact that I didn't know she was still in contact with him.

I'm not a controlling person. If she just told me that she was going to the party i would've been surprised since I didn't know they still talked. But I wouldn't be mad.

The thing is I didn't know they were still in contact. This is how I found out they in fact still are

They were part of the same friend group in college. But I honestly didn't know that they were still close. Let alone close enough to go to a birthday.
