So my ex is getting married again apparently. He's just phoned to let me know before the news goes out on social media etc. - which is really quite decent of him, actually.
Ex and I have our differences but we generally get along and have some sort of a quasi-friendship going.
Here's the thing: he's just made me 'the very first invitee' to his wedding. He also suggested I be a bridesmaid to his new wife (whom I've yet to meet - awkward!).
To top it off, apparently it's exMIL who insisted and told him she wasn't not having me there.
I think this all sounds rather inappropriate and rather awkward - arguably more so for the bride than for myself. I wouldn't exactly want me there if I were her. Apparently ever since we've been divorced ExH has been told he's an idiot for letting 'gorgeous, smart, successful and kind' Magical go. (I'm really none of the above ... ). I don't particularly want to be the gold standard to which his new wife is supposed to live up.
There's also the fact that I may feel a pang of jealousy - not because I'd ever want the ex back but because he's getting married and I've managed all of three dates since the divorce - all horrortastic failures.
Have so far stated that I may be in the US for work (true) and might not make it due to business commitments (not true - I could definitely get time off) to avoid having to commit myself.
Help me out here, MN, WWYD?
