I have been with DP for 18 months. His ExW left him 3+ years ago for OM. They have 3 DC who are young adults. We all get on fine. I have met ExW twice and she is chilly but polite.
Coming up is an activity for the oldest DC that we wanted to go to to support him. ExW has told DP she is uncomfortable going if I am there. So I have dropped out cheerily because DC1 is the priority and would presumably prefer having both his DPs there.
My question is this: Should I try to talk to her and reassure her that I care about her DC and will always act in their interests because it makes DP happy? Or just leave it to DP to negotiate with her? He can't see why she has a problem with me as we met two years after she left. He doesn't get that this is an emotional reaction.
