Brave or stupid?

[Yogagirl17]

XH has started bringing OW to our kids' sports matches at the weekend. We don't often attend the same things at the same time anyway but friends of mine have mentioned they've seen them together. This weekend I know they're going to be at one of the matches. I was thinking of going but hadn't quite made up my mind yet. Now I'm torn. My instinct is just to stay as far away as possible - I haven't see the OW since before we divorced and I've never seen the two of them together. Can barely stand the site of him, much less both of them. On the other hand,I wonder if my presence there might make them both uncomfortable and i'm tempted to do it for just that reason. Only problem is, although I know some of the other parents who will be there, I don't have any guaranteed moral support at the ready. So brave and cunning or just plain stupid?

If you go, go because you want to support your kids playing sport. Not with some ulterior motive or hidden agenda. If you're not ready to be in the same location (and that would be understandable) and if your DCs don't mind you being absent, then don't go.

I agree. Go if you want to support the DC, don't if you being there would make it awkward for your DC.

What other people have said they are doing might not be accurate anyway!

I think your main concern should be how your children will react to all three if you attending.

The purpose of watching your children play a sport is to support them. If you would be too upset or distracted by you XH and his new partner to do this, then it's probably best you stay away.

Completely ignore the fact that they will be there and decide based on whether you want to go for the DCs.

You would turn up just to cause trouble ?

is that wise ?

No, i wouldn't dream of causing trouble or making a scene. We probably wouldn't even speak to each other. But point taken.
