    My ex has got a strop on! He knew the invites were out and is pretty disgusted that we haven't invited him or his girlfriend to either the day or the night do's! He said to me today that we are invited to his wedding so why are they not invited to ours? Well me I must say am a subtle as a sledgehammer and told him it doesn't work like that and I want people that I like there! I guess he thinks because I have him and her on book of face he thinks that qualifies him as a friend, erm....no! keep your friends close and enemies closer.....I like to know what she says about me (interesting reading sometimes lol she forgets im on her list)
    His angle at the moment is that he will look after our children. He still annoys me when he comes to pick the children up! How dare he put the children through what he has put them through and expect to be friends with me? We lost our home because he couldn't help listening to his little brain instead of his big one (if you know what I mean)and as for her! well don't get me started!

    She only wants my children at her house because her daughter is all grown up so she wants to play mummy, assuming she can get her @rs* out of bed on a saturday morning.

    As for being invited to their wedding if they ever get round to choosing a date, well hate to say it but I can't stand there and wish them luck (they will need it, or at least she will) so it's best that I gracefully refuse that one!
    Sorry for the rant.....still a bit steaming though

    That is out od order and you are completly right!! we arent even having ex's at our wedding even tho me and h2b are friends with a couple of ex's. they are coming to the night as we are friends but wouldnt feel comfy getting married in front of them.

    glad you stuck up for yourself! there will be your family there to help with your kids anyway wont there? so he isnt needed at all!! xx

    Makes me wonder what planet some guys live on lol I don't think many people have there ex at there wedding unless in the odd case where they remain very good friends.
    The only room I can tolerate being in with my ex is a court room and that's only cuz I have to.
    I've enforced the rule that no-one we have slept with will come to our wedding it's just weird to me x

    Both of them are from planet lala! It's almost amusing...she thinks we will be life long friends because she is the reason he left me and she has cried in front of me, lol fair swap I suppose. Don't get me wrong I don't regret a thing, she is welcome to him and the affairs that he has but the timing was lousy right on xmas.
    I have tried to be pleasant to them but only for the sake of the kids and thay have mistaken that for friendship. As a couple they are known as the "drama queen and her pet" I think that says it all. I have to put up with him on a saturday morning when he comes to pick the kids up bleating on about some kind of rubbish and I even do the hoovering so he waits to continue what he was saying...just can't seem to figure it out!! Here for the kids now go away!

    His little brain I think has conditioned the (apparent) big brain that it is inferior so will no longer be asked for opinion! I truley am well out of it although he has said we should try again for the sake of the children.....please tell me....why then would he want to come to the wedding if thats how he feels. Luckily he doesn't know where or when, only that he won't be able to see the kids for 2 weeks which would probably be a relief to him anyway!

    Oh, I must be the odd one out here! My ex husband and his partner are coming to our evening reception. H2B and I both agreed to invite them. However, I must stress that we get on extremely well, they come over to see the kids (big kids now, 16,18 and 20) and stay for coffee and cake etc. We go out for dinner together as a group on birthdays and things. Our split was quite amicable really and we have remained good friends, and H2B and him get on well, have got drunk together on a number of occasions and done the whole 'love ya man' and big man hug thing under the influence of too much alcohol. I think its brilliant for our kids that its worked out this way, as my youngest daughter says, its like she has 2 dads. So they will be there in the evening of the wedding and staying in a hotel nearby so they can party with us! It doesnt always have to be awful when there are ex's, we are living proof that sometimes it can be really good! And as for Facebook, friends with him on there, and his partner and its great because we can gossip about the kids, keep an eye on them and swap pictures! xx In your situation though.... tell him to butt out!

    Wow, that's really rude to be asking to come! We've invited one of my ex's BUT we've been friends for nearly 20 years, and he was only a boyfriend for about a year. I don't really think of him as an ex, definitely more a friend. Other than him, no ex's are invited to day or evening.

    That is so nice Jane ;-) Our split was far from amicable, police were called and all sorts, I couldn't imagine anything worse than him being there either for the eve or the day. Even if he were he would be stoned and she would be having a drama in a corner somewhere urgh! the thought of it!

    Just thinking....I wonder how many people could and would actually sit down with their hubbies and say...this isn't working for me and seperate nicely and still remain friends. Jane (above) is a shining example and I wish I had done just that but then it would have been the shortest marriage on record lol
    Nice one Jane xx

    Thanks Mrs Walker soon :0), dont think I've ever been called a shining example before lol. Just to say as well, one of H2Bs ex GFs (he was with her when he was late teens for quite a few years) is also coming to evening reception with her new husband and her kids - we are all good friends as well! All happiness and love all around! Ha! His ex was lovely to me when we were first introduced and we went to her wedding last year too.

    This sounds a bit familiar! Steve's ex seems to be of the opinion that she should be able to pick William up during our evening reception - except that I know that she would then expect to stay for at least one drink because she did the same thing at my 30th birthday party last year! We have already told her that we will not be returning William to her until the following day and that he will go to his grandparents for the night with his new sisters :P The woman is a menace and has tried all sorts to try and split us up - and we've decided that although we have no choice but to let her know the date we're getting married, we shan't be telling her where or what time, or where the venue is - frankly neither of us want her stepping a foot into the place on our day!

    Andy ( my other half) wanted to invite his ex girlfiend ( his sons mum) to the wedding. I was like no chance!!
    He wanted to so she could bring ayrton up, but i was like want he already be up?, and if she doesnt bring him up then she is being a b***h as she usually does one way of the driving (she usually brings him up - andy takes him back or vice versa as it a 3 + hour drive just to get from one house to the other). I dont think she will as she is nice and gets on with us, but that still doesnt mean i want her at the wedding, i am not inviting alot of the people i want to because we are trying to keep it to 60 guests so why would i invite her to take up seats?

    Yeah my ex (we were never married but we have a little girl) expected to come.. I dont think he is bothered but just because we talk now and then about our daughter and i dont argue with him like i used to doesnt mean we're best buds.

    Also h2b was very very very close to his ex wife (sometimes too close i thought) i thought he would invite her, which i wouldnt be happy about cos he was good friends with her when we got engaged. they were still married when i got with him after 6 years of seperation and went on holiday together all the time! He doesnt speak to her anymore. They finally got divorced in December. but i found out his parents cant stand her for breaking his heart so thats probably why he never asked.. if he did wanna invite her he would have got a slap from me thats for sure! I cant stand the munipulative cow!

    I Guess he genuinely thinks we are good friends, I have no intention of going to his, in fact I couldn't think of anything worse but I never gave him the impression they would get an invite. Perhaps he assumed because his parents are going? But then I really like them and they are standing in for the absence of any family at all. They adore Mark which is a bonus and I have asked ex fil if he will walk me down the aisle....his answer....anything to get rid of me yes he will happily give me away lol!

    thats really really nice that you are still friends with his family and lovely that they are still part of your life - but the actual ex thats a different matter in my eyes. it is strange that he wants to be there. and i agree with you there is no way i would go to theirs! wierd!

    Well his parents came straight over the day after he left to help me with the children as it was so unexpected I was in a daze. They have even said they are glad I got rid of him (even though it was the other way round lol) His dad said he is no good for the children and he wishes he would just go away and leave us all alone. (he dumped his other daughter when she was 4)
