     The Ex-Wife - No Joke!  

This is completely serious! I am friendly with my boyfriend's ex-wife. When I was married, the four of us (the two couples) were friendly. It has been a long and strange road - but we are finally in a place where everyone is friendly and comfortable -- we even have fun. My ex is long gone and I have little or no contact with him (we had no children). But my boyfriend has a son who lives with his ex-wife - we live only a few blocks away from each other - so there is frequent and familiar contact. Of course, his son will come to our wedding - which will be very small and include family and close friends - but what about the ex-wife? should she be invited? It seems too strange and I am not comfortable doing it - basically I would rather not. But I also don't want to be difficult.

Discuss this with your fiance. If the two of you decide you want to have his ex there, great. If not, there is no law that says you have to invite her becuse she is the mother of your husband's son. If you are worried that not invitating her might cause this good relationship to be hurt then have your fiance explain your feelings to her before the wedding.
