3rd wedding

Ali, on December 19, 2016 at 12:19 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 16

I got married when I was 19 to my middle school-high school sweetheart, it was a short but very happy marriage. We were both in the military and he died shortly after our wedding. That was in 2003. In 2007 I married the father of my two children, the marriage ended when I found out he had cheated on me while deployed. So here I am getting married for the third time. My FH is amazing, loves me and my children, is frankly a dream come true. We have known each other since high school and he was even a guest at my first wedding and the funeral. Last weekend while at guys night out at bar a "friend" of ours cautioned FH about not marrying someone with my "marriage track record". FH told him to shut his mouth, now that friend's wife has reached out to ask where we are registered. How would you respond, would you respond? For what its worth the couple was not getting invited to the wedding even before this.

    What an appalling human being! I wouldn't respond, personally.

    He probably told her what happened and now she is left trying to clean up his mess. I would leave well enough alone.

    I'm just snorting st the fact they think you have a marriage track record.....totally uncool, untrue, and a horrible thing to say! If you care at all about the wife you could respond, but since they weren't getting an invite anyways it seems you probably don't, if it were me I'd probably just ignore it, and if you see her in person be polite (taking the high road) and if she asks about the text just play it off

    No response would be the response that they would receive. He's got some nerve making that remark.

    I think it's best to not respond.

    I wouldn't be rude to her. Maybe she didn't know about the incident that happened or maybe she's trying to fix it. Either way, if you weren't planning on inviting them i just wouldn't respond back.

    Thanks all. I agree just not responding is the best. Her and I work in the same building but on different floors, hoping with the holidays I can go a few weeks before I run into her.

    I am guessing either a. She is trying to clean up his mess by trying to buy us a dish set or b. He is was too drunk to remember and she is being sincerely nice. Either way don't want to be bitchy towards her for her husband's comments.

    No response is needed. Now you have the benefit of the wife attributing their lack of invite to her husband's insensitive comment. BOOSH.

    He's a fucking cuntnugget. Your first husband DIED. DIED. And if he died while serving, well, that makes him even more of a cuntnugget.

    Don't respond. Hopefully she checked her asshole husband about his comments.

    Marriage track record?! You aren't Elizabeth Taylor! Your first husband passed while serving and the second was awful to you.

    Ignore and be the better person. However, at least now you have the knowledge of where you stand in their friendship.

    @star I was going to say the same thing!

    Honestly, this guy sounds like a real jerk. I'm glad your FH shut him up. Even if you had been married 6 times, it's no one else's business.

    Wow. I don't think I would respond. Her husband is a total dick.

    I'm sorry you went through that. I would just blow her off. She can probably find your registry with a Google search. Obviously be gracious if they give you a gift (maybe she's apologizing for her husband's misstep?), but again I'd blow her off about it or change the subject.
