This is my first (hopefully only) marriage and I want it to be special. My fiancé has been married previously and has two young daughters with his ex. He really wants them to be a part of the wedding, and I agreed that it would be a special memory. However, the question of whether to invite his ex-wife popped up and I'm not sure how to take it. At first, I didn't really care and he said it was up to me -- however, now, whenever we discuss wedding plans with his side of the family, they bring her up. They compare the details of my plans to the way my FH and his ex's wedding was ... I tried to brush it off because it seemed petty...but now it just seems to be sucking all the excitement and joy right out of me
Ultimately, I think this if she's there, I won't feel as happy ... I know I need to say something to my FH soon, but I'm not sure how to approach it. And how can I kindly ask his family to stop comparing me to his ex?
