Thanksgiving Question

[Serenity13]

For the people who have a WAS not living under the same roof, are you inviting your spouse for Thanksgiving dinner?

I know it is the right thing to do, but at this stage in the game, I don't think I could face another rejection.

No matter that the OW may go back to her hometown for Thanksgiving and my H will be sitting home alone eating a frozen dinner...

Or she may stay here and cook for him which I might add makes me queasy at the thought of them playing house...

Anyway I digress - I can't even ask a question and keep it short.

I am not, even though my H texted me today and said he had no where to go.

Get used to it, buddy.

LOL Thanks Sad...

Your answer made me feel better about the way I was feeling towards the whole situation which is quite frankly, I don't want to ask, don't want to know and don't want to exert any energy in caring.

I did about three weeks ago. She cut me off mid-sentence with, "I won't be coming."

Just what I want to avoid...If you were closer, you would be more then welcome my friend

[Gardener]

Why, thank you!
Ditto.
At the very least I have you and dozens of others to be thankful for this year that I didn't have last year.

Silly people Thanksgiving is in October I had thanksgiving with my Mom. And I did not even think of seeing WAS. Do not invite.

My Mom talked to WAS a week later and said we had a great thanksgiving. She was surprised that we could continue to have a good thanksgiving without her.

The last few years it was a big mix family affair. Not this year. Made it. And thats that. You can too.

Trust us canucks on thanksgiving.

No is my votte... We got invited to our neighbors house...so I told them me and the kids would be coming... i don't think they extended the invitation to H.... go figure!

I had the easy way out.

My first Thanksgiving out of the house my MIL invited me to dinner the day before. I had taken advice from reading on here and already had plans to work at local college's thanksgiving dinner for their international students.

Best thing I could have done. My family asked if was ok to invite StBX, I said yes, and he declined.

We have done variations of the 'other side' of the family get togethers for the various holidays, since I WA... sometimes awkward, sometimes just like old times.

It has helped me to remember it's "just a day" & family memories can be made anyday.. they are not calendar dependent.

I had thought about it, and the answer is nope. It's a family dinner and XW opted out for another "family".
