If you really don't want to, no one can force you. But no matter how your marriage ended, you once loved this man, it's okay for you to show that. You only have one chance to say goodbye, so make sure you're sure about not going. Don't worry about other people, do what you wanna do. But you shared a life with this man, it's okay for you to say goodbye to him.
If you have children in common , and had friendly , or at least civil relations, it would be OK. But stay in the background. If the divorce was acrimonious, just send flowers.Call the children , if any and tell them you think it might be best if you not attend. Then only go if they [ all ] insist.
That depends on the situation. Are the ex wife and ex husband still in touch? Did they break up in a civil way? Did they agree to be a support for each other? Are they currently civil?
Also, was the ex wife friendly with her former sister in law? Is she going out of spite or out of love and respect?
It's a sensitive time for the family, and you should consider the immediate family's concerns and needs before your own.
if you were close to him yes.
if you havent spoken in years it's debatable.
if you have children together YESS...THEY WILL NEED YOU TRUST ME
If depends on what happened to end the marriage and the relationship.
No
no, unless you were friends with him before he married your ex-wife.
The ex husband should come alone (without his girlfriend or second wife) and sit on the side of his ex wife's family. If you have a girlfriend or you're remarried it would be in poor taste to bring your mate to your ex wife's funeral.
Remember that the funeral is for the family. If you have a contentious relationship with your ex-spouse you should not attend since that may add to your ex-wife's grief and discomfort at a very sad and stressful time for her. However, if the ex-husband and ex-wife have an amicable relationship, there is no reason why he should not attend her mother's funeral. The ex-husband may show his respect for her mother in other ways. A card, flowers or gift to a charity in her name would be tasteful.
That all depends on so many factors: their relationship after their divorce; if they have children together and maintained a good relationship; the ex-wife's relationship with his family. Everyone should feel comfortable with the situation.
Depends on the relationship that they all have with each other. If they get along and the ex kept in contact with his ex mother in law there is no reason why he couldn't go. Again, it should be discussed between the parties.
yes
Including the soon-to-be ex wife in the funeral obituary is a personal decision that depends on the individual circumstances and dynamics of the relationship. It may be respectful to consider the wishes of the deceased spouse and their family when making this decision.
It probably be considered inappropriate unless you were friends and it would also be up to his family if they wanted you to attend.
means she went to her own moms marriage
No, it is not wise for the new girlfriend and ex wife to be friends and the ex wife should move on. If children are involved then the ex husband and ex wife should be dealing with this.
That's always a personal decision. I sent flowers to my exs funeral.
No. It's wrong for your friend to say anything. The ex-wife would only attend if she had to accompany their small children.
