@saturnzoon ♥️♥️🌼🌼
Thats a lot to take in. You definitely don't need to go. Try not to let it get to you. Deep breaths and don't dwell on it. You have your own life.

Hey @saturnzoon I hear you have so much anxiety about the wedding. I totally get it that you don't want people staring and talking. If it's too much then I agree with you don't go!
I have 3 kids in their late teens and as far as talking goes, I try and get them one on one for coffee /milkshake once a week.
Wishing you the best with it all

What a bummer - I am so sorry @saturnzoon
You don't have to go to the wedding - that's asking too much
Okay - I didn't go to my ex-h's weddding - as I expected I wasn't invited - and in the best of taste I think
It's really thoughtless to imagine you would want to go and see your ex-h married to someone else - no wonder you feel so bad - I would - aw Saturnzoon - that is so bad
Okay - my daughter went to her father's wedding and then he gave my daughter away at her's - I wasn't thrilled about that either - certainly he is her father but ,........... enough said about that - I just get it from your point of view and I think they could just have their wedding and leave you out of it - and as for your kids - it's up to them I guess
It's one of those things we just need to endure - but what do you do about the invitation? Ah - you can reply or not - however it suits you - it's possibly least painful to send a non-acceptance care for the sake of manners and leave it at that
But you are upset - and I hear you - it's a rotten deal and something you are stuck with
But you don't need to worry about all the neighbours and the family - but aw - it is the pits

Makes sense your anxiety kicked in @saturnzoon Go into self care mode and politely say no thank you, if you can.
I think its weird that he asked you. I bought my son clothes for him to wear to his father's wedding, which was difficult enough. Then the woman changed her mind and so the wedding was called off. Very overwhelming feelings as it is was.

@saturnzoon Hey beautiful :). Part of me says girl get out there and go to the hair salon and get your hair done. Buy a new dress and shoes (make sure they dazzle). Even get your make up done for the day. Go and show that man what he is missing and be confident and strong.
Whilst another part of me says no way girl. Dont go if it is going to make you feel bad. Do something really nice for yourself tht day. Spoil yourself rotten. Personally I think it is weird that he has asked you. I hope my ex never would ask me if he was to marry his gf. There is no way that I would go. Love gpxx

A bit in snail mode here too @Meowmy I have been out to get a birthday card for my sister's partner so that is the only pressing thing I needed to do today. Back home now on the couch in front of the tv. I am babysitting my sister's dog today but he has finally settled and is now asleep on the couch with Toby asleep behind me
