i have a dilemma....may be kinda long

Original post by lishbone

ok..ive been thinking about it all day..but im not sure what to do..ok heres the story..i dated this kid in highschool..from like age 16-21...we broke up for 2 years then started dating again..unfortunately he passed away..5 years ago today..i was and still am very close to his family..of course i dont see them often because im busy and plus i do feel guilty sometimes..even though i know they love me and want me to be happy..heres the thing..when i first got engaged all i kept saying to myself was that im inviting chris's family..because they are like family..but when i spoke to his mom a few months ago she was so happy for me..i told her i want to be there for my big day. there was a silence for a second and she was like sure i will go..your still my daughter..but it sounded wierd..i talked to fh and he was like well i didnt want to say anything to you because i know hwo you feel about them.but he said that they probably wont feel right watchingme get married and their son is passed on..they always used to say to me i know you loved chris..i know you guys would have gotten married..WHAT DO I DO..i want to uninvite them.i feel awkward now..and i know for a fact they do too. how do i get out of this. without hurting them..i feel i should keep my relationship with them..just between us..and not bring them into my new life..its always nice to visit them once in a while..im just bugging out..i guess becuase its his 5 year anniversary and i didnt even call them today or send flowers..im feeling guilty. they are such great people..any suggestions? sorry so long

i was in a similiar situation and i invited his mother. I figured she could respond no if she wanted to - if she felt uncomfortable. I miss him soo much, like i am sure that you miss Chris. I say invite them. they will let you know if they can't make it. let them decide.
