I was invited to my Ex's party by my Ex, should I go despite the awkwardness of his current girlfriend not liking me or wanting me there?

Graciously declining is probably your best option. Keep in mind that other people at the party will be paying attention to the three of you. If the friends at the party are aware of the hostility that she feels towards you, they'll be watching, and you can bet someone will say, "This should be good."

Some people love that thought of a good cat fight and will be hoping that one breaks out and may actually try to fuel the fire. Do you really want to be in the middle of this type of drama? You didn't say how you feel about her.

If you share her disdain, you may feel that it might be fun to show up at the party just to make her miserable and jealous. If this is the case, you're going to go to the party no matter what anyone says. But be careful.

This type of action could blow up in your face and you end up looking bad. There will be a lot more parties, I'd skip this one.

I guess there are a couple of ways to look at it: Maybe he invited you just to be nice, in which case it might be reasonable to graciously bow out by kindly letting him know that while you appreciate the offer, you don't want to rock the boat with his current girlfriend. Let him know you hope he has a great time and that you look forward to seeing everyone soon, in another venue. It might be best to not make the whole evening about her drama, and just let them enjoy whatever event it is for them.

If, however, he would really like you to get along, or just wants her to get over it, it might be wise to show up, treat her graciously (assume she won't return the favor), talk to your friends, and not do anything to rock the boat (getting to chummy with your ex, for instance). Expect that it might be necessary to duck out early, but go with a big smile on your face and try to make peace. I suppose it's really up to you to decide what you have the patience for.It would be nice for him if she was able to retract her claws and accept that you're just a friend now, but that could take time and a lot of effort on your part.

If you want to be the bigger person, I say go for it. If you don't want to deal with drama, then I think you can make friendly excuses to not be in the same room with her.

If it's at her house I wouldn't go. But in general there is a reason they call them ex's.It also depends on your age. If you are young and this is the crowd you hang out with normally then go and she'll have to get used to it.

It would probably get the bug out of her azz if you showed up with a date. But make sure he is not using you just to get her jealous.

" You'll have a few people pleased to see you, a few who won't care less and some who will really dislike you being there. What's the point of it all? I can understand if this is a very special event and you wouldn't miss it for the world....but a little party, nothing special, hell I'd say turning up is just being argumentative.

If you turn up you'll ruin the event for the new girlfriend and you know that already....so really its a case of either staying clear and letting them have a nice night or turning up and probably causing trouble ( I know you might not instigate it but you know its bound to happen ) So, what sort of person are you going to be?

This can be a sticky situation. I guess the first question that comes to mind is do you have kids with him? If so, I may consider going so the new girlfriend gets comfortable with you being in his life.

If you do not have kids, I suggest maybe you do not go. This is just my personal opinion, but I tend to like to put myself in someone else's shoes and then make my answer. For example, if you have a new boyfriend and HE invited his ex to your party, How would you feel?

If you would be upset, then you have your answer. Do not put this girl in that type of situation. My thoughts are (again in my opinion) that your ex maybe should not have invited you.

On the other hand, everyone is entitled to their own thoughts, ideas and way of life.

You should nicely decline the invitation because his current girlfriend has made it VERY clear that she doesn't like you. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be involved in a catfight, would you? Her having it made clear signals that you are not welcome and even if it's your Ex who invited you, it's still not good to attend to that party.

Let them enjoy their party because it’s theirs. Sometimes, you’ve got to understand their situation. It surely would look awkward for the three of you and knowing that your friends know that you were ex’s, it’s not a good thought.So, the best thing you can do is decline the invitation nicely.

I’m sure your ex would understand it, too. That’s one way of telling his current GF too that you’re not interested of your ex anymore.

If he invited you despite her feelings you might as well go, sounds like they will be history shortly. Even if they can work through their problems, it's not Your problem. The more normal you act the sooner things will BE normal.

I agree with what others had said, about declining the invitation politely. There is no need to attend the party when you know that the three of you would be the center of attraction. You would be surprised that many people, who are familiar with the situation, might have honored the invitation just to watch what might happen.

I feel that the problem is not just about the party, it is your friendship with your Ex. That is making his new girlfriend uncomfortable. She might feel very insecure and scared that if the three of you spend time together, she might lose him to you.

I think you should try to avoid anything that would bring the three of you together. Personally, I do not have a problem with my husband’s Ex. Girlfriends attending our parties, but I guess it is because they are also married with kids of their own.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
