We attended a christening for DH's nephew's baby yesterday. DH's eldest 2 children went with their spouses and who was sat between them in the church but ex-w. She never got on with any of DH's siblings, especially nephew's mum, so I don't know why she went - I could've understood it if their youngest had gone and needed a lift (50 mile round trip) but he doesn't get on with his cousin so refused to go.
As we came out of the church she headed straight for DH and told him she'd had a lovely day out with the kids at a place they used to go to when they were married, I stood there like a lemon feeling myself getting smaller and smaller.
When she saw she'd got the reaction she was after she said bye and got in her car and left leaving me feeling like the OW, even though they'd split up before I met DH and she's now living with someone else.
This is the 3rd time this has happened so how do I stop myself getting upset in these situations? We're not speaking today as DH won't ask his eldest, who he speaks to every day, or his sister who invited her so I've refused to go to the family party we should be at this afternoon.
