Invite cheating ex and his married GF to child's party?

Anonymous
Absolutely you don't invite them...you don't need to make an excuse either, this is already weird as it is.

Bingo. OP, you are counsel to your minor child who has said your ex’s behavior makes her uncomfortable. The rest - who pays, who else is invited, etc. - is irrelevant.

I’ve not read other posts but how is this even a question?

No way! unnecessary problems that can be controlled. If they want to do something for the kid, do it on their own.

Picture this scenario, OP.

The woman's husband finds out about their flirtation/ emotional affair on the day if your kids party by breaking into her text messages or email.

Now he knows where the party is, he comes there & makes a huge scene, you're now implicated along with your ex (as you clearly knew she was married) so according to him, you AND your kids are part of this whole charade of infidelity, and now your tweens party is ruined and you and your ex have become the juicy gossip of the school.

My answer is a HARD no.

I didn't even consider this, but this scenario isn't that far fetched & if I were the husband and I knew they were together at your kids party, I'd absolutely think that you were a cohort sort of wingman for your ex.

This could end very, very badly for the birthday boy.
