[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a mid-40s H almost married 20 years. I side with OP. I would not attend the funeral (or wedding) of a long term ex.

You really have no idea how the widower will react. Many—perhaps most—wouldn’t care, but a measurable percentage of widowers (including me, if I’m being honest) would not want a funeral to be the occasion where mom’s ex-boyfriend is potentially introduced to the kids. It would be very off putting and I wouldn’t chance that at the ceremony where a husband and children are saying goodbye to the family matriarch.

Seems almost selfish to me. Yes, OP’s DH is probably grieving something and wishes to support his friends, but why in the world would you risk causing a scene for a widower and his children after their world has been totally shattered. [/quote]

I mean, this is just ridiculous. It just does not happen at funerals that the children are introduced to the adults who need to announce that they slept with their mother decades ago.  Some of you are coming up with these farcical justifications for why you shouldn't go. The children finding out that Mom had an ex-boyfriend is not a reason not to go. This scenario just does not happen or matter[/quote]
