Her Siblings Claimed That Her Ex-Husband Showed Up And Wanted To Get Back Together With Her, But It Turned Out To Just Be A Cruel Prank, And Now She Wants To Disinvite Her Siblings From Christmas Dinner
This twenty-seven-year-old woman has a cherished Christmas tradition where, every year, her entire family goes over for a nice holiday dinner.
The celebration is always great because it allows the kids to play with all of their new toys; meanwhile, the adults get to relax and catch up on how their morning went.
Earlier this year, though, she got divorced from her twenty-eight-year-old ex-husband. It has been a large pain point in her life, especially because she was the one who did not want to lose him. So, her side of the family knows not to dwell on the topic.
For instance, at Thanksgiving, after her sister brought something up regarding her ex, both her mother and aunt stepped in to save the day. They told her sister not to talk about her ex because, to be honest, she still has not moved on.
“I was just talking to my sister last week, and I was talking about how badly I want him back and how I will do anything for another chance,” she explained.
“I never cheated, nor did he. I just want him back so badly. Our kids want us back together, too, but I don’t involve them in that.”
Not everyone in her family has been so understanding of her feelings, though. In fact, she claims that her brother was already on thin ice because, just a few weeks ago, he went over to watch her kids while she got her hair done.
And she later found out that while she was gone, her brother had smoked in the backyard in front of her kids.
She does not even allow beer or a bottle of wine inside of her house. So, smoking was an absolute no-no, and she claims that her brother already knew that.

In turn, she was already considering not inviting him to the annual Christmas dinner this year. But, if she had any doubts about going through with that, her decision was only sealed last week after her brother decided to pull a little prank on her.
Apparently, her brother and her ex-husband have remained friendly despite the divorce, and they even still talk regularly.
So, for whatever reason, her brother decided to text her and claim that her ex was at her sister’s house. Moreover, her brother said that they had been talking about her ex giving her a second chance and asked if she could head over to her sister’s house.
And at that moment, she was filled with renewed hope. Her brother and sister even instructed her to bring over flowers for her ex, so she jumped into action.
She put on makeup, did her hair as perfectly as she could, and even stopped at the store to pick up the most beautiful bouquet of flowers they had.
“It cost me a lot of money, but I did not care. I was just so excited to hopefully get one step toward getting my ex back,” she recalled.
Afterward, she raced to her sister’s house and did not even knock on the front door– that’s how excited she was. As soon as she walked in, though, she just saw her brother and sister sitting there, laughing at her.
And when she finally asked where her ex was, her siblings made a snide remark about how he was probably with his new girlfriend.
Of course, her heart immediately dropped, and she asked, “He has a girlfriend?” And as if they have hearts of stone, her siblings just sat there laughing at her!
So, if you have not figured it out by now, her ex was never at her sister’s house hoping to get back together. Instead, her siblings decided to pull possibly the cruelest “prank” ever. And she was devastated.
“I threw my flowers at them and started crying and drove home,” she said.
Then, she decided to text her mother and declare that her brother and sister were no longer welcome at her Christmas dinner.
Now, her mother agreed that the prank was entirely horrible. However, her siblings are now outraged and swear that the prank was just meant to be a harmless joke. Obviously, though, it was not a joke to her.
So, she has been left wondering whether disinviting her siblings from Christmas dinner would be justified or if it would make her a jerk.
Why do you think her siblings thought that “prank” was a good idea? Is there any world where that joke would not be viewed as cruel? If you had been in her shoes, how would you feel? Do you think she should disinvite them from Christmas dinner or not?
