[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alright I'll be the outlier here. I'm with you, OP. I would not feel good about my husband wanting to attend the funeral of his ex-girlfriend from 25 years ago - especially not comfortable about him going to the trouble and expense of traveling to another city. Feels wrong to me. I have ex boyfriends from 25 years ago with whom I haven't stayed in touch. Some were intense relationships. Would not travel for their funeral.

Not saying there's anything suspicious about this. I'm just saying I relate to how you feel. I would be put out if my husband told me he wanted to attend his ex-girlfriend's funeral out of town.[/quote]

I'm almost to +1 here. I wouldn't take it as my husband was pining for his ex, but I find it weird. They haven't been in touch for a quarter of a century and he feels the need to go to her funeral? He's clearly using it as a reason to get together with all the college friends. And maybe that's ok?

I think it's weird and could possibly be jarring for the family. I'm not in touch with my college boyfriend but as he married one of my sorority sisters a few years after we split we have a lot of mutual friends. I can't imagine showing up to his funeral after 25 years and talking to his mom and sister and all the people we were friends with through him. How unbelievably uncomfortable. Send a card to her parents or sibling.[/quote]
