[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If ex is not there when you are there, I don't see the problem.  It's not disrespectful -- when couples divorce, the entire family is not compelled to divorce. If they invited ex INSTEAD of you, that would be a problem.  But since DH and the ex do not get along, they invite her when you and he are not there.  Seems pretty damn smart to me.

If you don't want to ever deal with the existence of an ex, well...its too late.[/quote]

+2.  My sister is divorced and remarried but we still see my ex-BIL often because they have joint custody of their daughter and he is kind enough to bring her to our family stuff when my niece is with him.  If my new BIL or my sister made a stink about it (which they don't), it would really negatively impact our relationship with sister and BIL.  The fact that they all make the effort (despite the contentious divorce) really means a lot to the rest of us.  My sister and ex-BIL really don't like each other but you would never know it from observing them together or how they treat each other because they have a child to raise.  That's what matters.

You're husband had a child with this woman, you married him knowing that, there's a reason why they say when you have a child with someone, they'll be in your life forever.  This is just how it goes, OP.[/quote]
