Always superior peach.
you were there first, his good points; you taught him., his lesser traits; the reason you left him.


Not forgetting who's party it is.


Have a blast.

Look at it this way - she has your leftovers grin

My ex is involved with a lovely woman, we don't socialise often but when we do it's all hugs and hellos. She's lovely, suits him fine, and I don't want him, so what's the point of tension?

He, however, gets mighty uncomfortable seeing the two of us get on haha.

"I haf information on zis man.... mwaahahahahaa"

No, in fairness, have a wonderful time, your the MOM, and you can't wipe out 18 years' of history - your daughter is the evidence of that, so celebrate, smile, be gracious, and rise above any glares that might come your way.

Shine on, little star hug

I guess it's just that he finds it odd to see his new woman and his old woman having a chat, lol. My ex is a sound person, one of the best, he has nothing to hide, so I have nothing to expose him with, lol.

One night we all went for a meal, I think it was for my daughter's birthday - he was at the head of the table, me on left and her on right, lol. I found myself stealing one of his chips before realising I can't do that anymore lol.

Think of it this way - for her it will probably be even more uncomfortable. This is yours and his daughter's party. There will be lots of family, people who once associated you and him together.

Put yourself in her shoes for a moment. She might be really frightened of the night coming. Make her feel welcome, for I am certain if you were her, you'd be glad if the ex showed you an offer of friendship, right?
Unless she is the nasty type, those exist too blues but if she is nice, then she is not your enemy and has done nothing wrong by falling in love with a free man.

You gonna be fine hug and all the best to your daughter bouquet
