One of my offspring has cut off all communication with her father, my ex-husband. He hasn’t even met his 4-year-old grandson. My other child has a close relationship with my ex.
Your compassion for your kids and your grandson doesn’t have to change. And if they come to you to talk through the awkwardness or the pain of the estrangement, listen and share your own feelings. You’re also being impacted by this, and you deserve support, too.I was married, and the relationship ended. He was dishonest and cheated. I was furious and sad. This was about eight years ago.
We are seniors on a fixed income. We can’t afford this at all. He usually uses my money for these ventures. I am 68, my husband is 60. Do you consider this sexting cheating, even though it doesn’t involve physical contact?Cheating is whatever goes against the rules of your relationship. Your husband may be confused about what the two of you agreed on — sexting wasn’t a thing 27 years ago, after all, but I think he’s just pulling a fast one.
We are already going low contact with a few of his relatives who will be at the wedding and the whole thing seems more trouble than it’s worth. Do we respectfully decline? Should my husband go alone?You already know you don’t want to go to this wedding so check that “Regrets” box for both of you and keep it moving. The couple surely doesn’t want anyone there who isn’t going to feel comfortable.
