Her Husband Was Invited To Attend His Ex-Girlfriend’s Wedding And Even Though He Didn’t Get A Plus One, He Really Wanted To Go
A 33-year-old woman has been married to her 32-year-old husband named Mark for the last 16 months, though they have been with one another for a total of 3 years.
2 years prior to her even meeting Mark, Mark dated a woman named Amanda. Mark has said that Amanda was the “love of his life,” and he was in a relationship with Amanda for 8 years.
Mark even lived with Amanda too, but then she wound up leaving him. While she has no idea why Amanda really did leave Mark, Mark has maintained it was because Amanda was not interested in settling down, and she also didn’t envision herself getting married or having kids, which were all things he really wanted.
“When we met, he was definitely still not 100% over Amanda, and I think deep down, imagined they might still get back together,” she explained.
“They didn’t maintain a friendship, as far as I’m aware, until our wedding. She posted congratulations on his Instagram posts of the day, and they DMed back and forth about the wedding and general life stuff.”
“Every now and again, they catch up on social/text, and I don’t think there’s anything inappropriate going on, but it makes me a little uncomfortable.”
Well, several months ago, Amanda ended up getting engaged. When Mark found out, he was really quite upset, though he didn’t discuss his feelings about it with her.
She assumes that Mark felt hurt because when Amanda was dating him, she said she wasn’t down to get married and go through all the traditional motions.
For the next couple of weeks after Amanda’s engagement, Mark was clearly down in the dumps.

She didn’t really press Mark to talk about anything, but she did attempt to discuss it with him, though he quickly shut the conversation down.
“Now I just found out that he has an invite to Amanda’s wedding in March,” she said. “He doesn’t have a plus one, but he still really wants to go. He didn’t ask me if he could; he just told me.”
“I told him I felt weird about him going, especially alone and especially given how much he loved her, but he says it’s all in the past, and nothing is happening, so it shouldn’t matter. I get that, but I feel really odd about him going to his ex’s wedding – I’m sure it would’ve been them getting married if she’d have been in the right place at the time.”
After wondering what the best thing to do was, she decided to let Mark know that she was not comfortable with him going to Amanda’s wedding alone.
In response to that, Mark agreed not to attend Amanda’s wedding, and he did give her a reason as to why he really wanted to go in the first place.
Apparently, Mark was hopeful that he could get closure from Amanda by going to the wedding, and he admitted that he feels very upset that she did decide to get married when she promised she never wanted to.
“But that he doesn’t need that closure if it’ll cost me happiness or our relationship,” she added.
Do you still think that she should be worried about Mark’s feelings for Amanda, though, or is it all innocuous enough?
