toh, I understand your pain and frustration but take your focus off xh/ow. It will get you in trouble again and you don't want to go there. Your x is not the one to make sure you can't be at the wedding. There are plenty of xcouples that attend the same functions at the same time. The reason you cannot go is the RO.
Did you ever say where your own family is? siblings? parents?
Perhaps the bride and groom will take some time during their day to meet with you somewhere so you can congratulate them and see them in person.
btw, I have that same problem with the box I type a post inside, after a few lines it starts flipping all over and i can't see what I type. Maybe it's the DB way of shortening posts!?
