DEAR ABBY: After 28 years, I found out my husband, “Jerry,” was having an affair. While we were in the middle of the divorce, my nephew was getting married, and I told Jerry that, considering the circumstances, it was improper for him to go. I also told him that although he was denying everything and telling our daughters he had done nothing, my family knew everything.
Jerry insisted on going, but I told him he would NOT be in family pictures and wasn’t invited to the reception. Abby, he insisted on sitting in the pew with our daughters and me, and even tried to walk my mother in. Was what he did in bad taste and improper etiquette? To me, it felt like another slap in the face. — DIVORCED BUT NOT DONE
DEAR DIVORCED: That your almost-ex-husband would force his way into the wedding and sit with you and your daughters was gross bad manners. Was he invited by your nephew’s family? If he wasn’t, I hope he didn’t show up uninvited to the reception, which could have caused a major disruption. I think you will be well rid of this man.
