Not inviting a plus one

Jill, on May 15, 2019 at 10:01 AM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 71

My ex bf who I dated in between my first husband and current fiancé is dating my FH cousin. Is it bad if she isn’t invited with a plus one? We had a bad breakup and it would be super awkward.

    Agreed. Please do the right thing and let your FH what you did. It's only a matter of time before your ex tells your FH cousin, who will then tell him. This is getting out one way or another, better to come from you.

    When was the last time you saw him/slept with him?

    What is the point of this question? To get a rise out of OP?

    It's not only unnecessary but completely counterproductive to helping her with the issue at hand.

    Wow, this is a really messy situation that shouldn't have been a situation in the first place. OP, it's in your best interest to come clean to your FH right away. Regardless of your feelings now or in the past for your ex, if you are in the process of getting married to FH, you need to be honest with him. The lack of honesty leads me to believe that there are still old feelings being harbored (no judgement, as I have been in a similar situation in the past), but now is the time to get your affairs in order. Come clean to FH. Talk to FH's cousin about this situation. Take full ownership over what the consequences may be, since that is the mature thing to do. And, as I have learned marriage takes a crap load of maturity.

    The original poster told her ex not to tell anyone they talked because she previously told her FH that she had the ex blocked. That means she doesn’t plan to tell her FH which would be dishonest.

    Do they live together? https://www.theknot.com/content/plus-one-etiquette-guide See source. If they don't live together, you don't have to invite. How long have they been together if they don't live together? We are not inviting casual relationships who don't live together.

    You should reallllly read through the thread...

    Also, plenty of couples are serious without living together. Your "guide" is completely wrong.

    Well this was a wild thread. Overall I'd block and delete the ex's number.
    You should be honest with your FH because otherwise he'll hear it from someone else and it will bite you in the ass.
    Don't invite an ex to your wedding, it's weird for everyone. If cousin doesn't understand then she's uninvited too.
    Don't ever keep an exs contact information after you're married, that's asking for problems.

    No I know, she was talking about the person asking you if you were unfaithful which is INSANE

    Wow, this is completely uncalled for and also just out there. How did you deduce that she is a gold digger and "sneaking around"? Seems like you're projecting to me...

    ETA: also, might not wanna pat yourself on the back so fast. Cheating is still cheating even if you don't "plan" it.
