She Wants To Cancel Her Family Vacation Because She Found Out Her Fiancé’s Ex-Wife Will Be Tagging Along Too
This 32-year-old woman has been with her fiancé Kyle, who is 37, for about two and a half years. Just six months ago, they also got engaged.
However, Kyle was previously married and got divorced from his ex-wife, Elena, five years ago. During his first marriage, Kyle and Elena also had a son together named Greyson, who is now 8-years-old.
So, Kyle and Elena managed to remain friends and form a strong co-parenting relationship. She thinks that Greyson is a great little boy, too, and he even has a room at her and Kyle’s home. She also claims that Greyson is loved by everyone.
But while she doesn’t have a problem with her soon-to-be stepson, she does have an issue with Elena.
“The problem I have is that Elena is everywhere!” she said.
Now, she understands why Elena would be present at holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, or even Greyson’s birthday. But on top of that, her fiancé’s ex-wife is invited to all other kinds of events and family functions, and Elena also brings along her other toddler– who has a different father.
For instance, Elena and her toddler, Ella, were both invited to her fiancé Kyle’s birthday, her soon-to-be in-laws’ anniversary, camping trips, and even her own birthday celebration!
She has tried to talk to her fiancé about this on multiple occasions, too.
“But Kyle thinks I’m being insecure for no reason and making a big deal about nothing!” she revealed.

Well, after she booked a trip to Mexico recently, this whole situation came to a head. She planned for herself, Kyle and Greyson to travel to Mexico in January. So, Kyle spoke to Elena and claimed that he would have Greyson for an extra week at the end of January since the little boy would be traveling with them.
Soon after that, Elena wound up asking Kyle about all of their trip dates and details. Then, while she was on Facebook, she saw that Elena had posted about going swimsuit shopping for an upcoming vacation.
At that point, she spoke to her fiancé, and Kyle reached out to Elena to see if she would also be traveling somewhere that same week. To her surprise, Elena admitted to researching their hotel and traveling to Mexico at the exact same time.
“I took advantage of the same deal as you guys! So I guess we will see you there, haha,” Elena told her and Kyle.
She was simply not okay with that, either, and told her fiancé that if Elena was going, then they were canceling their own trip.
Kyle wound up pushing back on that, with his reasoning being that their tickets were nonrefundable. Regardless, she refused to budge and told Kyle that she would just stay home then.
“I want a family vacation without his ex-wife, but Kyle thinks there’s nothing we can do now,” she vented.
Still, she’s considering canceling the trip anyway, but she isn’t sure if that would really be the wrong thing to do or not.
Can you understand why she’s sick of Elena always tagging along? Does it sound like she and Kyle need to have a conversation about boundaries? How should she handle this situation?
