DEAR DIVORCED: That your almost-ex-husband would force his way into the wedding and sit with you and your daughters was gross bad manners. Was he invited by your nephew’s family? If he wasn’t, I hope he didn’t show up uninvited to the reception, which could have caused a major disruption. I think you will be well rid of this man.

DIVORCED BUT NOT DONE DEAR DIVORCED: That your almost-ex-husband would force his way into the wedding and sit with you and your daughters was gross bad manners. Was he invited by your nephew’s family?

Jerry insisted on going, but I told him he would NOT be in family pictures and wasn’t invited to the reception. Abby, he insisted on sitting in the pew with our daughters and me, and even tried to walk my mother in.

Our son is engaged to marry a young lady our family can’t stand. No matter what we are discussing, she turns the conversation to long, boring stories about her friend, her aunt, her cousin, etc. Nobody cares about these stories,

My family and friends say I am doing the right thing—that responding to any of his communication will give him the idea that I’m open to communicating again. I do not want to start talking to him again,

I found out my husband, “Jerry,” was having an affair. While we were in the middle of the divorce, my nephew was getting married, and I told Jerry that, considering the circumstances, it was improper for him to go.
