Sheba Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 My DH's ex-wife has started treating me as if I do not exist. This is new, it like I suddenly became her worst enemy. She is very outgoing and will be extremely friendly with my DH, her ex, but will not say even hello to me. Now, maybe she ought to be embarrassed for being so obvious, but I am as well. I am not used to being "despised" and being so overtly ignored while she is super friendly with DH and everyone else in the vicinity is very uncomfortable for me. I feel singled out and awkward. We are all invited to a graduation party for DILto be. It is a small party, 15 or 20 people. Of course the ex will be there. DH asked me if I wanted to go and I said I would be more comfortable going if he stayed near me. I figure that his ex is not so rude that she would ignore me while I was at his side, and that this way she might either behave normally, or I would not be "alone" in being ignored - she will ignore us both. DH says I am ridiculous for making this request. He says it is too difficult for him to plan to and arrange to be near me during the evening, that it is too much pressure for him to remember that and that he will not agree to such a condition, and he will go without me if I am going to insist on such a thing. I thought I had hit upon an "easy" way for the little event to be less uncomfortable for me and did not anticipate it was such an imposition. He does not like his ex, but needs to be on civil terms as they have three children. I don't expect him to be rude to her, certainly, and I thought my plan was quite subtle and simple. Am I missing something or is he?
