My brother is close friends with my ex-husband (his ex-brother-in-law). He and his new girlfriend were invited to the engagement party, which I attended as did my ex, but not the girlfriend.
The wedding will be a small event and my ex and his girlfriend will be invited, which makes me very uncomfortable, and will probably mean I won't attend.
Would I be out of line telling my brother this and then not attending?
What is appropriate behaviour when inviting ex-in-laws?

It is your brother's prerogative to invite whomever he likes to his wedding. That said, perhaps he could speak to his friend about bringing the girlfriend along (depending on the seriousness of the relationship, that is). But, in the end, you have control over only what you do. If you really feel that uncomfortable, then don't attend. But, think about it for a bit before you decide. After all, this is your brother and you seem to be close. You may regret not attending. And, if you and your ex have children together, you may need to get comfortable with the idea that you may have to spend time with him and whomever her dates or even marries. Speak to your brother, but don't ask him to choose between his sister and good friend. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
