Future Mrs. P, on December 28, 2015 at 11:03 AM

My FH and I are getting married two years from now because I wanted to wait until I finished school and he understands that. So we are getting married the month after I graduate. We are getting a couple of things out of the way for the wedding now. I am kind of sitting on the fence about this one...

My FH has a Ex-wife and also has a child by her, the child is going to be our flower girl in the wedding. I am trying to figure out if I have to invite his ex-wife to the wedding since her daughter is in our wedding. The ex and I deal with each other because of the child but all honesty I am not to happy about inviting her because she tried to break us up multiple times and even tried to keep him away from his child if he did not leave me. He is listening to his mother about inviting her and its not right to not invite her. What should I do??

Why would a failed relationship want to come and witness the successful relationship? Everything you wrote tells me inviting her would just bring unnecessary drama.

You don't need to invite her. Why would she need to be invited? Is he never around his child alone?

Also your parents can't make you marry someone. He needs to take responsibility for himself and set healthy boundaries.

It would be odd and unusual to invite his ex to the wedding.

If the child is like 1 or 2 then yeah you'd probably want to try to make it work. But it seems like the child will probably be around what 5 or 6 at the wedding? Make sure someone is in charge of her and gets her there on time and home, but it certainly doesn't need to be mom.
