Yesterday was my youngest's 4th birthday party. STBX and her new guy were there my STBX-in-laws were all there My mom and step-dad and GF were there. Everyone was very civil it was almost surreal.
As the party was winding down, my STBX-MIL was asking me how I was doing and saying that maybe next year they would invite me and my "significant other" to the family hioliday gathering, but she felt it was too soon and would make Christa uncomfortable. OK I can understand that. Then she tells me that she and her husband have talked a few times over the past few years about if Christa and I would end up divorced, and she said they always thought I would be the one to end it.
That was kind of a shock and I was not sure how to respond to it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Your reply was the best one, nothing.
However, take a look at womensinfidelity.com, then pass it on to your MIL. It opened my eyes. Maybe your stbx would benefit from reading it, too.
Moving on to greener pastures is best.
There is no good response to a weird-ass comment like that.
I'm glad all was cordial, given your children, you'll have these people in your life.
But
I agree. Thanks but no thanks to the next holiday gathering.
Keep a smile on your face and let your personality be your strength. cheers
Do these pple not have anything better to do?..Be supportive rather than wishing ill-will towards family members.
You are a class act Pony, what the hell could you say?
"We use to lay awake at night wondering how it is you to stayed together so long MIL?"
(btw..I speak with anger about this issue, I had 4 MILs during my course of my marriage)
Nothing, was the best reply.
I also think that my MIL thinks that it would be ok to invite me and my significant other to their holiday gatherings, because her and her ex are still friends and attend each other's functions. It is kind of strange, but I think she feels if they are that way we can be too. It's too soon to tell. And I wouldn't want my SO to feel uncomfortable.
