hi please be nice but advice needed !
dh and i are invited to a wedding along with dh xp and her new parter, who was dh best friend. Things with xp and me are fine but the new parter who was dh best friend, will not even say hi anymore.very awkward as we are all in the same circle of friends so will no doubt be in the same group at night. wwyd?

Go, behave like grown ups and try not to spoil someone else's wedding!

steppyhen · 30/12/2012 19:39

i feel very petted but very nervous also ! dh xp when drunk has been in fights and has a criminal record for this and his best friend has recently been on a tag for 9 months for fighting(god we are nothing like them at all) this is what worrys me not the fact that we can behave like adults its the fact that they cant and i dont want to spoil somones wedding?!

Petted? Confused

That has to be the quickest drip feed post I have ever seen.

i think it would be safer not go ! alcohol is the root of all evil. Also dh and dxp have a son together so if it all goes up in the air would not want anything to affect dss. Suggested to dh that we take them for a meal instead to celebrate with them ? what do mnetters think?

Decline invite.

Job done.

Well you clearly can't go, based on what you've said. Simple as that.

If you think other people are likely to start an argument or even a physical fight, then I think you have to turn down the invitation. Send a present and a nice card explaining that the situation makes it tricky and you would hate to spoil their day, then see them for a nice meal/drink aother time.
