My Ex Invited to my Sons Wedding with her Boyfriend?
My Wife divorced me after a wonderful 33 year relationship. We got along great up until the last year when I just found out she started to feel differently. Bottom line is I was injured several years ago by a surgeon under the influence of alcohol permanently disabled me. Just after our divorce my wife finally told me her true reason for leaving was she couldn't live with my being ill any longer. Now she has a boyfriend and I have to ask you 1) I don't date anyone. Should she be allowed to take her boyfriend to the wedding ? It's only been 12 months since our divorce. 2) Should I be okay with her boyfriend sitting at the head table ? The same head table I'll be sitting at ? Please advise.

Dear Bmurphyman,
Obviously this is a difficult time for you, understandably. But, it is your son's decision who is invited and who sits where.
If she is in a serious relationship, then her boyfriend should be invited. If she sits at the head table, then so should her date. However, it may be best if parents don't sit at the head table. Most couples choose this option when there are divorced parents involved. Many times the couple will have special tables for parents, separating the divorced parents.
