Dear Queenie,
My husband and my sister’s husband were always good friends since before we all got married, and they continued to be even after we got divorced, so my sister and her husband continue to invite my ex, along with his new wife, to their family events even if I’m going to be there, so sometimes I have to see him and her there.
Queenie, is this right?—Offended divorcee
Dear Divorcee,
Your sister’s and her husband’s friendships are not really any of your business. If they were always friends with your ex you cannot expect them to stop seeing him just because you divorced him.
You can ask everyone not to invite your ex to functions that you will attend, but if you and your ex had children together you can expect to see him and his new wife at family functions now and then, so it would be best if you can learn to put up with them and try to enjoy the event in spite of their presence. After all, you may have divorced him, but your children did not.
