My girlfriend and I broke up about a month ago. Any "fights" we had were disagreements, loved hanging out together, and we lived together for 6 months and it brought us closer together. However, we are both graduating soon and want to pursue careers that are going to take us to different parts of the world (Europe for her, Asia for me), so we decided to end it early. 

She wants to remain friends, but I am not sure I can put my romantic feelings for her aside. We work together, so I have to see her once a week when our hours overlap. I have been trying to be friendly (chatting with her, having lunch together) but I feel stand-offish and passive-aggressive now that our relationship is over. I know from past experience that I have a really hard time letting romantic feelings go if I have to keep seeing that person, but every other experience has been the other person not reciprocating (see "friend-zoned"). With her it feels different, yet the same.

Anyways, I am posting because this weekend is the big premiere of her opera. It's the first time she's ever had a lead role, and she wants me to go. I told her I would think about it, but I can't come to a decision. On the one hand, I feel like it's going to drudge up a lot of emotions I haven't been able to get a grip on, especially my reunion fantasies. But I also feel like I'm bailing on someone really significant to me, on a very important night of their life. So, would you go?
