[quote=Anonymous]So recently I received a wedding invitation from my ex's family. It was not appropriate for me to attend since my ex has a new spouse, and according to my kids, he is not allowed to have any contact with me. Something along the lines of how she would like to see me try to attend something and "find out" etc. This is not necessarily public knowledge but I am good.

In my RSVP I sent a quick note about how this would not be a good idea for various reasons, but apologized for being apparently absent so many years. I gave them my cell phone number which has apparently now been passed around to the younger generation, many of whom have texted me quite nicely.

The thing I notice is that they all seem to want to recommend things for me to watch on TV or movies to see. I've been on my own for a while now and have gone through a litany of the things they recommend, the best miniseries etc. I've already seen them. But I feel so bad when they reach out and recommend something, and it feels wrong to say, "I've already seen that" so I always play dumb and say I think it sounds amazing and I will watch it immediately and get back to them.

This is where little white lies are OK, right?[/quote]
