TogetherForever Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I am invited to his nephew's graduation party tomorrow. His mother will be there along with a couple of family members I have not yet met. His wife will not be there (bummer:D). His mother hasn't wanted to meet me since her son hasn't divorced yet. Anyway, I chose not to go. After almost 7 years, now his mother has no problem meeting me. At a graduation party? Don't think so. He is upset that I won't go. What's that all about? Any thoughts???
quankanne Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 He is upset that I won't go. What's that all about? might I suggest that he's a clueless dumbass who doesn't understand that there's still a sense of propriety involved here?

quankanne Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 probably not, but other people might think so, and in a sticky situation like this, it's to your favor.

Sheba Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 He wants you to come because he loves you and is proud of you and wants you to meet them, and/or he loves them and is proud of them and wants them to meet you. Or, perhaps he is intimidated by the family and needs your support at what he believes may be a difficult event. It may be that he wants to have the family become accustomed to the fact you are now part of his life. How will I know if I have made the winning guess?

Wait...so you're going to stick it to him because his mom didn't want to meet you before? C'mon, you can do better than that. Be the bigger person and just go already.
Author TogetherForever Posted June 24, 2007 Author Posted June 24, 2007 So I ended up going to the party yesterday. His sister called me & said that it'd be a great time to meet the rest of the family since a lot of people would be there. She was right. His mom & 2 other sisters were there & everything went well. It was easier than meeting everyone one at a time. Just thought I'd fill you guys in.
