Okay Ladies, I need some good sound advice. My FH wants to invite my high school sweetheart of six years and his family to our wedding. This guy and his family are important to my FH b/c they took him in when he was in high school b/c his mother was struggling with a drug addiction. At that time, my FH was one of my best friends. Although it

I totally understand both points on this very weird situation...the hardest thing is that you can not tell him who he can and can not invite...he must be secured with his realtionship with you to invite the ex especially after knowing your history with him...my silly advice to you is to leave it alone and let him invite them - the great thing about weddings is some people do not show up..
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
I think although it is a little awkward that relationship is history and you and FH chose to be together. It seems to me that what his family did for your FH was very meaningful and I 'm sure he feels obligated to have them share in such a great occasion. I say don't object to it and let him have what he wants. You are over this guy anyway right?

Go ahead and invite them! There is nothing to worry about, because everyone of you has moved on with their lives. In a grown up world we can be faced with simple situations like these and be unfazed. I bet your ex and his family only wish you the best. They can opt not to come if they feel weird, but I bet they will come and tost to your everlasting love.

I agree, I think it will all work out fine if you invite them and they choose to accept your invitation. No one else will matter but your FH on that day anyway!

Good advice ladies, and yes PureBliss, I am certainly over my high school sweetheart! . Maybe it just carries a little emotional weight b/c those were such hard times for my FH, and maybe it's hard for me to remember that part of his past. There's a good bout of honesty for ya! Funny how weddings (and funerals for that matter) bring up all kinds of relational issues with friends and family!

The blessing in all of this if your FH and you have been triuphant through all of his past hardships and in the midst of your friendship you found love in each other!

I think it's cool. Invite the family. What you and the ex had is over. Maybe the ex won't show up.

I agree, invite them...they only coming to be nosey...and who knows this may be the ruling factor for some if not all....for closure. My husband's ex (mother of his sons) was very vocal about her desire to attend. I put the Bishop on alert that she planned on attending, so if she wanted to show her colors I would have shown mine too...she was the last person to walk into the church...and I sat in the Limo outside and I watched her very solemn entrance...I prayed that whatever she came there to do...God would undo it in her mind before she had a chance to execute it. The day went on without a hitch and she left just as she came...quiet like a thief in the night.
