[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the ex-wife in this scenario and there is no way a serious gf should be left out of the dinner. [/quote]

Seriously? I’m a stepmom and I would never expect to join my husband his ex and his daughter for their dinners. She gets to spend time with her parents without me. I respect that. There are all kinds of ways in which I’ve included in big family events and of course I get to spend time with her anytime she’s here at our house. But I would never presume to interfere with her time alone with her parents.  It’s kind of like what one of the poster said above, about wanting a wedding photograph with just your parents. It doesn’t mean that you don’t love your stepparents. But it’s OK to want to speak to spend time with your parents without also spending time with their new spouses.

I feel similarly about feeling fine with my husband spending time with his mother. They have a relationship that separate from me. A woman gets to want to spend time with her son without having his wife there all the time. That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t except that he is married and that we are a family unit, it just means that they get to have a relationship without me there sometimes. And when she wanted to have a photo of just her and him at the wedding, that was fine with me too.
