My fiancé and I have been together for 4 years. We’re getting married next month. We each came into the relationship with sons the same age, they’re 12 now. His ex started giving push back when he told her he booked our flights for next month and we’re taking our sons so I told him that he needs to tell his son at least. He gave her no explanation why we’re going away. A few days later, I asked if he talked with his son and he said yes, he told him.
Today I took our sons to get fitted for their outfits and his son said he didn’t want to go on a trip, citing reasons like “my mom said I don’t have to because kids should go on vacation when school is out” and “CoVid?” I told him this is technically our wedding/slash vacation so it’s a good reason to miss school but it will only be 1 day.
His son look shocked and started crying, to my surprise, because he didn’t know we’re getting married and said he did not want to go. He told me neither him nor his mom knew that was what the trip was for. When I got home I asked why he didn’t tell his ex and my fiancé said said he doesn’t feel like it’s her business. Comments, Questions, Concerns Please.
