[quote=Anonymous]We've been married 12 years. My husband would have married his ex, but she dumped him for somebody else who she's now married to. Sometimes when we visit his hometown, I hear of how my husband's sisters and family go to his ex still to get their hair done. This bugged me ten years ago, but I got over it. She's FB friends with them all. Today a baby shower was hosted at my MIL's house for my husband's sister and who should appear but this ex and her daughter- I came outside as she was chatting with my husband. They have not talked for 10+ years. 
I was very flustered and uncomfortable. She was the first one to arrive at the party and stayed quite a while. I found it uncomfortable to sit near her and hear her chat up all my relatives. They all remember her from his dating days and are apparently all chummy. I ended up sneaking off to my bedroom, had a cry, and when I went back out and realized she was gone, I was able to semi-enjoy myself. I am surprised that my husband's family thought it was appropriate to invite her knowing that my husband and I would be there. I know it's the mom-to-be's event and this ex apparently is a friend who does her hair, but I still had a hard day. This ex is prettier than me and I'm sure my husband would have married her if she didn't dump him. 
I guess I'm just having a down-in-the-dumps day with all these feelings. I know I shouldn't make it about me since it's not my event. Maybe this is just part of visiting home towns.
