I this is a good idea. You've got enough to contend with given the very-fresh reconciliation/departure of OW without throwing gasoline on FOO flames at this exact moment.

On this, I agree with your dad.

Regarding people's decisions ... that's very noble of you. Don't forget that among those available decisions is your freedom (in my opinion, responsiblity) to let your husband know if it makes you feel sad, hurt, or second-tier if he continues to be all fine (overtly or covertly) with you being excluded in the future.
