premedlife Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 When my ex of 4 years and I were together I was very close to his family members. His mom adores me and so do his two sisters. Back in May, I received an inventation from my ex mom about attending the sisters baby shower. However it was the just a few weeks after me and my ex ended things so I declined to go. The sister called me two days ago to invite me to the babies christening, and outdooring/naming ceremony. I am not sure whether to go this time. Would it be wrong to go? What if my ex brings the girl he cheated on me with? Should I take my current boyfriend? Or another friend? Is it weird to bring others when they only invited me?
nescafe1982 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I would politely decline the invitation. That is, unless you're on close terms with the ex's family and plan on staying that way. I don't think anyone would fault you for not attending, and it sounds like potential drama that 1) you don't need in your life and 2) the family doesn't need at their event. Send a card or a small gift to show you mean them well instead. 1
d0nnivain Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Send a gift if you like but do not attend. You are the EX GF not the EX wife. Call the sister if you like to arrange another time to meet the baby when it will be just you, her & the baby, possibly the mom but no EX. 1
kendahke Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Have lunch with the sister, give her a gift for the new baby in lieu of your attending the christening. That way you can see her, be gracious with your gift and not be subjected to any painful encounters that you're not ready to deal with. 1
