This 40-year-old woman will be getting married in the near future, and her 41-year-old fiancé is insisting on one detail for their special day that she finds upsetting.

Her fiancé is adamant that he wants his cheating ex-wife to be invited to their wedding, and his argument is that he wants her there as a guest for the sake of their son.

Her fiancé got divorced from his ex after she had an affair with a college friend they shared. Her fiancé’s ex claimed he never loved her amid all that.

She started dating her fiancé five years ago, and as for his ex, she’s only dated four different guys in the last five years, and none worked out.

“He told me it’s only right that she be there since they share a 12-year-old son,” she explained.

“He thinks his son needs to see all of us in a happy environment and celebrating. However, I don’t want her there. I feel like she is still a bit territorial over my fiancé.”

One instance where her fiancé’s ex acted in a way that alarmed her was when she went with her fiancé to drop off his son to his ex.

Her fiancé’s ex rushed out of her home to hug him, and didn’t even say hello to their son before doing this.

She instantly thought her fiancé’s ex was sort of marking her territory by doing that. Then, this woman waved at her and put on a big smile.

When her fiancé turned to walk away and leave, his ex once again hugged him and threw her arms around him.

She was beyond upset at this rate, and after she and her fiancé arrived back home, she questioned him about whether his ex always hugged him. He simply chuckled and confirmed his ex never acted like that.

“I think she did it on purpose to upset me, but he is oblivious to it. I mean, she hugged him twice, and he told me she never usually does that, and he sees nothing wrong with it,” she said.

“I just feel like if she comes to our wedding, she may even try to dance with him. And that would make me feel so bad. However, he is dismissing my feelings and wants her there since their child will be there.”

Last night, she brought up again to her fiancé how uneasy it will make her if he’s serious about inviting his ex to their wedding, and he actually raised his voice at her.

He just put his foot down and said his ex is coming to the wedding, end of story. She’s left feeling like her fiancé is putting his ex above her.

What advice do you have for her?
