FH is still friendly w ex's family
Hi, just wanted to run this by everyone for your opinion. My FH is a widower, his ex/late wife died 4 yrs ago. He has no children. We have been together for 2 yrs. He remains close with his ex's family ..... This really bothers me. I am unsure if he plans to invite them to our wedding or not. I feel that we should have 2 halves of our family - his parents/relatives & my parents/relatives. Where do his ex's relatives fit into our life? I can't stop them from calling him & inviting him (his ex sister in law especially) to their family's birthday partys, etc. I wish they could let him move on with his life & let us start our own life together. I have only met the x sister in law once, briefly, but he usually goes to any functions alone. I feel very akward going. Some of my friends family say I should accept them as part of his extened family, but I am having a very hard time with that & it makes me very upset to have to deal with this. I am sorry about what happened to his ex & her family & feel terrible about it, but that is all in the past & he has a new life now. Hope I am not being crazy about all this.
