re: Hypothetical: you’re married & a former close girlfriend dies - do you go to the funeral?

I can tell you it's probably in poor taste to attend your ex-wife's funeral just to laugh.

I say you definitely go to the wedding. This is a human life that you spent part of yours with. Only reason not to go would be if things went way south at end and everyone knows about it.
Also I think it also perfectly fine to bring your wife and probably is the right thing to do also.

Of course you do. If your wife is jealous of that girl even after she’s dead, that’s a problem. And if you dated for a while and/or were close to her family, it’s nice to pay your respects.

Depends on the ex

I’ve been to dozens of ex-girlfriends funerals

Why wouldn’t you? Would going to her funeral be seen as cheating to your wife, and if so, then perhaps there’s an extreme insecurity/trust issue she needs to deal with.
I think maybe you’re overthinking this just a bit. As long as you go to their spouse and give them sincere condolences on their loss, and not act all weird and stuff back in the corner like you had something to hide or whatever, most people would see you as anyone else in their past that came to pay respects and to honor their old friend.

I know if my wife died and one of her ex boyfriends (especially her first serious one) showed up to the funeral, I’d forever wonder if there was some sort of affair going on behind my back and that’s the last thing a grieving spouse needs but I’d definitely feel guilty for not going.

Funerals, weddings, etc. I don't give a frick if my wife likes it or not. If I had a romantic or platonic relationship with another girl in the past and I want to go to pay my respects or offer congratulations I am going. If she chooses to get mad over someone lying in a coffin or taking their vows then she is the one that needs help.

Yes. You go to pay respects.

Grow up
Posted on 7/9/22 at 9:10 am to TDsngumbo
Of course I would
Posted on 7/9/22 at 9:12 am to TDsngumbo
I’d go. I have a similar situation to you and I’d feel terrible if I didn’t go.

Depends on the breakup.
And how well I knew her family.
If she ended it or cheated, no way would I go.
If I ended it or it was mutual, and/or I knew her folks/family, I would definitely go.

When I lived in Houston, a friend died unexpectedly. She had dated a lot of the young men in a certain social set.
At her funeral, a lot of those young men were there with their wives and girlfriends. The men were crying more than their wives and girlfriends.
Watching the wives reactions was quite a show.
Short answer: go if you can hold your emotions in tact. Don't take your current girlfriend unless she knows the deceased and your relationship.

Was married 20+ yrs....if my ex dropped dead today, I'd shrug my shoulders and move on, not attend the funeral. Waste of time.

Right. I would 100% go to my ex-girlfriend from college’s funeral because she is an amazing person. As far as my ex-fiancé, nope, frick her and her shitty family.
