Brothers ex gf

Mrs. Ariza, on May 14, 2019 at 8:16 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 9
So my brother and his now ex gf were together for 8 years! My daughter grew up knowing her . They recently broke up but she has lived with my brother and parents for the past 6 years so she is basically another family member. She moved here to NY from FL to be with my brother snd has no family members, just us. I feel a sense of obligation to invite her to my wedding in a weird way but my brother doesnt want her there. Mind you it was a mutual understanding break up. No hard feelings. She still comes by the place to see my parents. Anyways... Should the invite be extended to her?

    Your wedding is so far away that I wouldn’t worry about this right now. By next year, she could be in a serious relationship with someone else and never see your family.

    No, respect your brother’s wishes here.

    Oh, I didn’t see the date! Wait and see how the next year plays out. Leave her on a “probably
    not, but maybe” list in that case. But don’t commit until you see what evolves in the next year. She could naturally drift. Drama could happen between her and your brother. Either could end up in a new relationship, and there’s no telling what emotions could come out of that. Or, they could evolve to feel more comfortable hanging around eachother. But regardless, I’d err on the side of respecting your brother’s wishes here.

    She may move by then, but I would respect you bother. There may have been more then you know about the story.

    I agree with everyone else, when it’s actually time to send invitations the whole situation could be different so I wouldn’t worry about it now

    Wait until you're about 3-5 months away from the wedding to make this decision. Sometimes it starts out like a nice mutual break up but anything can change between now and your wedding. Things might not be so cool between them if one of them starts seeing someone or your brother might get tired of his ex trying to maintain a relationship with his parents, flip out and then she won't really be "part of the family" anymore or they might even get back together!

    I would hold off on making this decision until closer to the big day. Things change SO much and you are over a year and a half out. I would just wait until next Feb/March to make that decision.
