I agree with you John. Your wife left you, so why would you be there? So she could put on the front of having the happy family? Absolutely not anything in that for you. Let her face her family alone. They are a lot more likely to tell her she is making a mistake.
Good question. Was he invited? If not I would agree.
Don't bet on family for saying that she is making a mistake though. They have bias eventhough they have the best intentions at heart for both of them.
I was invited by my W to go because she is staying there with them and would have to go anyways and didn't want everyone to know what was going on, plus she wanted to spend time with me today.
I don't think her family will tell her she is making the wrong decision, but I do think they would say something along the lines of, "I hope you guys can work this all out."
Her entire family is a "death do us part" type people. Never a D on her side as far as I know, not even extended family.
