You say they're like family--have other family members invited you directly? E.g., is the host inviting you directly or are you your ex's "plus one"? My partner was sometimes invited to occasions with her ex's family--she explained she would not go to events with him. Now she's sometimes invited and her ex is NOT invited. If your partner were not going, would they invite you? Would you go? What if the AP were there? Just some questions to ask yourself when you are ready to decide. Good job not seeing her this weekend!
