He first decided to explain the situation to his daughter– telling her that it was just going to be them on the trip. And to make up for his ex missing out, he told his daughter that they would do other activities with her mom a few different times throughout the summer.
Thankfully, his daughter was fine with that, too. So, he moved on to the hard part: filling his ex in on his decision.
To do this, he wound up sending a text message that read, “Hey! So, this year, I decided to do something a little different for vacation with [daughter]. I will be taking her on a cruise, just the two of us, but I thought that it would be fun to do a few beach weekends and maybe a Universal trip this summer.”
If you could not have guessed, though, his ex did not take that well. Instead, she just became really upset and demanded to know why he excluded her this year.
So, at that point, he decided to just come clean. He revealed how his ex’s behavior last year simply made him not want to invite her on vacation again. Plus, he pointed out how she already knew both he and their daughter were upset by her drunken actions.
His ex-wife still did not get it, though, and just accused him of being a jerk for not inviting her. On top of that, his ex claimed he was just being uptight about her having fun on vacation when she didn’t hurt anyone. Since then, his ex has also been urging him to give her a second chance. So now, he’s been left wondering whether not inviting his ex-wife on the family vacation this year was a jerky thing to do.
Do you get why he doesn’t want his wife to act like that around him or his daughter? Did he make the right decision by shielding them from that behavior this year? Or should he give his ex a second chance? What would you do?
