Being ex...

My DDs BDay is in October and she is 25 so me and ex talked about BDay party.

The problem is that his wife afraid of me as a plaque...

We’ve never met and I don’t give a shot about her existence but apparently she does about mine.

So is ex no thrilled about seeing my Aries and I don’t have a problem on not inviting him. We can celebrate with DD and her bf and Aries later...

After all DD is OUR daughter and she is planning on inviting her friends and me and ex want to invite our friends.

I am cool either way however if ex is throwing a big party I would expect to be invited.

In ideal I think if ex and his wife can’t see me and Aries - we should leave our partners home for THE night to not to spoil child’s Bday.

Any other ideas? How do you guys do this? Does his wife has rights to dictate her rules about OUR DDs party?

Maybe you should throw a big party, organize it, invite your ex to join in (financially as well)

tell your ex you will organize the big party, you planned together (with your ex)

in this case, its up to him to bring or not to bring his wife, but his wife cant dictate the details or attendence-list for the party

let your ex tell his wife that its you who is organizing a party on the behalf of you both (both parents, you and the ex)

Edit: I think you should co-operate with your ex on this, and I think he will be willing to see the benefits of this scenario (you organize "his" party for your joint daughter), as you are his only friend he can come to, when his wife is being unreasonable

Is DD a cup size or something...:-)?

Don't leave your SO out of family gatherings. If you act civilized towards each other's partner, this would help calm the waters. You know, imagination is the worst enemy...

It reminds me of a scene from a film:

The new, younger wife (to the ex): " I kept imagining you. Now that I've seen you, my fears are all gone 😉!"

The ex (stepping towards the wife): "But if you see me even closer, you will not be able to sleep at night!"
