hope you love her, cause you're stuck with her now

[MichelleLT]

I hate how the exs manage to screw things up for years and years to come!

I hadn't gotten an invitation to my SIL's wedding, but since it's not til May I had just assumed she hadn't sent them out yet. I couldn't remember the exact date, so I sent her a message so I could see if I needed to request time off from work. What I got back was this...

"Good Morning Michelle. The wedding is Saturday May 14. I have actually been stressing about this since we got engaged. I would like nothing more than having you and Roger come and celebrate with us but I fear it will cause stress and tension on the immediate family due to [ex]'s presence. I hate that it has all turned out this way and it is beyond unfair. [fiance] and I will both be up a few days before the wedding, and we were hoping you and Roger would accept our invitation to dinner that Wednesday night. I feel terrible, but I hope you can appreciate the position I am in and that you are still up to have a mini celebration. Hope all is well."

Part of me isn't really surprised I guess. But I've been in tears about it nonetheless. I hate how their decisions screw up everything for the rest of us!!!!
