My husband and his ex wife had been separated 5 years when I met him . She threw him out and wanted nothing to do with him . We have been together almost 6 years - he has 2 girls aged 15 and 10 who he seems regularly .
The issue is that she refuses to speak to me or even acknowledge me .
I have let the issue go for years as any communication regarding the girls can be done through my husband .
Things have now come to a head as my husbands father has invited us all to a family meal . This is the 3rd time .
The first time we were all together I tried to be polite and smiled and tried to talk to the ex but she just blanked me . I put this down to shyness and let it go . The second time just before Christmas was very uncomfortable -she made a point of ignoring me and talking to other people and turned her back on me , almost like I didn't exist . It upset me and spoiled what should have been a lovely meal .
We have now been invited again and I just don't want to go and to be put in this situation again . My husband says I'm being unreasonable and that it shouldn't bother me but I think she is being rude and ignorant and sending out the wrong messages to her daughters.
Am I the one being unreasonable?
