Drama with the ex baby mama!

FH got this text today from his ex gf (daughters mom). It's 3 days before the wedding and she's bringing it up now?? FH and I did not invite her because we are not friends with her. She has disrespected me on numerous occasions and her and FH can't stand each other longer than 2 minutes. We were not...

FH got this text today from his ex gf (daughters mom). It's 3 days before the wedding and she's bringing it up now?? FH and I did not invite her because we are not friends with her. She has disrespected me on numerous occasions and her and FH can't stand each other longer than 2 minutes. We were not going to invite her just for the sake of her seeing her daughter be our flower girl. Just having her and her bf there would have been incredibly awkward. FH ex wife (sons mom) is a good friend of ours so of course she was invited along with her wife and their baby. They were one of the first people we told of our engagement. Just not what I even need to be thinking about right now. Ugh!

    I agree, let your FH deal with that. There's not much for you to deal with, unless the mom shows up at your wedding or decides his daughter can't participate.

    @Jillian- She'll be staying with all my cousins. Plus FH entire family will be there. There are plenty of people to watch her. FH sons mom is coming to the wedding and not even sitting with their son and he's not staying with them. Both kids will be with my cousins who they have fun with.

    I'm definitely staying out of it! I highly doubt she would be inviting us to her wedding. There is absolutely no relationship with this woman besides co-parenting and even that is only when she feels like it.

    There's no way she's showing up. She doesn't even have a car. We drive 3 hours each way just to pick FSD up for the weekend. I think it's all just drama.

    @Bride2Be2018- I didn't invite MY ex. I invited FH ex wife because we are all friends. That's just not the case with the ex gf.

    I don't even know how she found out who was invited. So weird!

    FH has a daughter with his ex-wife and I have a son with my ex-husband... neither of the exes are invited to our wedding due to the current relationship that we each have with them respectively.

    My exhusband's daughter's mother and her GF are invited because we have a wonderful relationship. Don't feel obligated to invite her just because she's the child's mother. There are photos for a reason and that's what I would provide to her. Smiley smile

    Your FH shouldn't even dignify that text with a response IMO. She got personal at the end which nullifies here "reason" for wanting to attend the wedding.

    They sound really spiteful. No need to add stress on the wedding day.

    I wouldn't invite her simply for her inability to properly use "an" instead of "a." I'd have to reply saying, "Sorry, you can't have AN invitation to such AN important event because you're AN idiot."

    That very last line says it all - extremely snarky with a bit of jealously.

    I love my mother and we have a good relationship, but boy does she get jealous of my fiance (just because she knows he's my #1 now) and FMIL (whenever I spend time with her) and she says shit JUST like this to try and guilt trip me.

    Nope, I don't even muster the energy to respond when she plays childish games like that because I don't want her thinking she got her way. I'd advise your FH to do the same (aka ignore it).

    I'd tell her learning proper grammar would earn her an invite

    I hope your FH does not respond. It's almost like she's baiting him to get all worked up. Unnecessary drama three days before your wedding. Not every text or e-mail deserves a response, especially dumb ass ones like her's. It simply sets the ground for an argument.

    I think you did the right thing. You invited who you felt would be there to genuinely celebrate your happiness. The fact that you got this text, shows the type of maturity she has. Her daughter being the FG is not a reason for an invite. Great time to set boundaries.

    We didn't invite my husbands ex wife even if his son was in the wedding. We wouldn't have ever considered it. She texted him on our wedding day that she misses him. He did not respond.

    "I am sorry to hear that you feel left out. We felt as if you did not have an interest in supporting our relationship and would not want to attend, and it is too late to add anyone at the last minute. We will print pictures of FG when we receive them from the photographer so you can see how the day went." -FH

    Don't feel pressured into adding her in at the last minute, if she wanted to participate she should have asked months ago.

    My FH ex has bitter ex wife syndrome. Google it! It's been hell and she already told us she will destroy our marriage. Heck we're still wondering if we will be able to have the kids for the wedding.

    How old is the child?

    FTR I have no intention of inviting my ex husband to my wedding (my daughter's father). He has no desire to attend. We are friends, but I'd guess that most people do not invite their exes to their subsequent weddings.

    I definitely wouldn't have invited her. That's what pictures and videos are for.

    I wouldn't have invited her either. Stand your ground, you don't need any drama on your wedding day

    So my ex and I have a great relationship and both of our kids will be in my wedding. He will not be invited. That would just be awkward to me. If FH and baby mama don't get along, why would she think she would be invited? Weddings are supposed to be for those that you love and want to share in a joyous occasion with. I say stand your ground and don't invite her. Good luck with your wedding this weekend.
