Question

No, it’s disrespectful to your current relationship, you shouldn’t be friends’ with any exes , you don’t have to be enemies with them , but they should not be included in your current life and relationship. People that hold onto exes are people that can’t let go of the past , I would never stay in a relationship with a girl that was still close Friends’ with her ex period , cuz I wouldn’t do that to her as well. An ex is an ex for a reason , Exempt them from your life , if you want your new partner to respect
You , you need to learn to respect them. It has nothing to do with insecurities , it’s called Respect , which sadly most people don’t even know what Respect means. Basically what you don’t want your partner doing to you , needs to be the same rules and boundaries for you as well. If you can’t do that for your partner? Don’t expect them to do that for you. Understand you are a selfish person that only thinks of themselves. And sadly selfish people aren’t meant for relationships period , because all they think about is themselves. To earn respect you have to give respect. I can’t tell you how many girls’ I been with that told me they didn’t want me going out with friends’ or going away with friends’ without her , and I listened to her and ended up not going because I respected our relationship, but when it came down to her being asked to go out with friends’ or go away with friends’ I wasn’t even a thought in her decision , that’s why she became my ex. Double standards do not fly in relationships period. If you can’t be respectful to your partner , they won’t be respectful to you , Tell that Ex No if you want to have a happy relationship with your partner period

It’s a case by case basis if you aren’t doing anything funky together as well well as both partners agree with it then it’s totally fine. I would say if someone breaks up on bad terms it may not be the best idea but that’s your decision to make.

I think this depends on the couple getting married and what they decide to do. It’s both of your big day so that may look different between couple to couple.

NO, it’s NOT ok. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

No one cares that you’re just friends now or ever. It’s bad juju to have all your fuck buddies/“exes” at an even designed to leave your old life behind and start a new path with the person to whom you’re dedicating the rest of your days.

My goodness, what is WRONG with people?

Unless they gay. I do know women who have invited their exs or even the groom's exs not to be nice or because they are friends but to show off. You know looking, you could have married me but you missed the opportunity or look he wouldn't marry you but he's marrying me instead.

Let's dive into uncharted waters, shall we? 😉 Inviting an ex to your wedding can be like juggling fire at a circus. It depends on your comfort levels and current relationship dynamics. If everyone’s cool with it, and there's zero drama or hidden feelings, then go for it! However, be mindful of any lovebombing vibes or jealous glances. Just make sure your soon-to-be spouse is totally onboard. After all, you want your big day to sparkle, not turn into a soap opera! ✨👰🤵

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

That's not a question that has a general answer. It's specific to the particular relationship. In some cases... that's totally fine. I've been to two of my ex's weddings. No problem.

It totally totally depends though.

It depends on the history with the ex (how long ago did you break up? Is your ex in a relationship with some other girl? How does your fiancé feel about your ex? Do they know each other already?)

The most important thing though, is how does your fiancé feel about it. That really is the key thing to consider.

Keep in mind... this is exactly the kind of situation where someone might feel compelled to tell you they're ok with it... when they're actually not really ok with it at all. So... if he says it's fine... but there are some signs he might not really mean that (facial expressions, body language, his voice, etc). If you suspect that your fiancée might not really be ok with it... even though they said it was fine... do the right thing, and just don't invite your ex.

Unless you have a child with your ex, trying to maintain a relationship sends a signal that your feelings for the ex may not be resolved. And even though your fiance may say he's okay with the idea, just asking about inviting the ex will create doubts. Why can't you let go of the ex?

AviatorTom · Answer

I'd leave that answer up to your intended spouse. What do they think?

McLlovin · Answer

No no no no no no no no. Please stop doing this. This is a trouble waiting to happen. Nip it in the butt. You are starting a new life, leave what is old in the past.

i see this as holding on to the past love interest. For me personally this is the final self given test to see what you deem as more important. Can you let go of your ex completely and cut them off or is the relationship with your ex stronger. This is a self test you should do.

if you can't let go of your ex completely and cut them off, then you love them more then your “partner”. You just haven’t faced it and have been ignoring it and making excuses to keep them around. In 1 sec you should be able ditch your ex without a thought for your future partner. But guess what, I bet most can't do it. You will make excuses to keep them around. “We’re just friends”… “we are adults we can be friends an it not be a thing, cmon”… right you keep telling yourself that.

Abbycado · Answer

Depends on a lot of circumstances in my opinion. Is he with someone else? Maybe he is married himself now. Was the breakup amicable? Does your partner agree that it is okay?

I'd generally say no, it isn't a good idea. I could see in limited circumstances it being okay. Lots of context needed.

Hobobobo · Answer

So long as BOTH of the people getting married want the person in question to attend, they can invite whoever they want unless those people present a serious risk to others in attendance such as inviting terrorists, extremist groups, volatile drug addicts, etc.

Miristheiss · Answer

Absolutely NOT.

It is a huge red flag to keep an ex in your life. Whoever is dating this person long term is an idiot. They should have ended it the moment they found out the other person's ex was going to stay in their life.

It is extremely presumptuous and selfish to want to keep an ex around. Respect the current relationship. Inviting them to the wedding is a HUGE sign of disrespect.

NicholasRedone · Answer

I think stepping into someone else's shoes 🧠 👀 👁️ 👠 👟 is a gift most men just either don't get at birth, don't learn in life, or they pick up the gift too late 🎁 - "if you were the wife getting married, would you feel comfortable if she brought along her ex, a hunk of a man - a real man, im talking jacked" muscle 👀👀😅😅🫠

There's the answer. Uncomfortable. So any wise person would say "No." A flat, no. Lol. Like a flat earth earther - politely

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I wouldn't. Not unless you're in your 40s and this was an ex from high school or something. A wedding is an event for you to celebrate your partnership with your current partner.

Why would you want to introduce even the possibility of tension from the past into a moment when you're trying to start a new chapter?

worldscolide · Answer

No, in fact if my wife had wanted that I'd have told her that if he was going to be there, I wouldn't and she would never see me again.

Your ex has zero place at your wedding, it's disrespectful to your future husband. The fact that you're still friends with him is a massive red flag.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

ofc, I think inviting friends for your wedding is quite normal :D
