For starters, my sister’s ex-husband, Alex, was our family friend before anything, I always looked up to him and saw him as an older brother, throughout his messy divorce with my sister I was the middle ground until they settled it down and the rollercoaster ended.
Now, my sister, Jessie, can’t stand him still, especially since he started dating his new girlfriend and officially introduced her to their three children. They married at eighteen due to her getting pregnant and our parents and his insisting it’s the best choice, seven years later they’ve reached cracking point.
Anyways, when I started sending out invitations to my engagement party, it felt wrong not to send him one, as he is family and has addressed to me before how much he doesn’t wanna be excluded or left out from matters like these.
My family agreed with me on that. We all knew my sister would overreact and be dramatic about it all, and at that point I was just gonna send him an invite, not sure if he’ll come or not. But shortly after, Alex responds telling me he’ll make it, then he asked me if it’d be okay for him to bring a plus one.
