This. If you are or were close to her family I'd go. Otherwise, no.

This is where I am at. If I really felt a need to pay my respects, I’d visit the cemetery

the girl that I had my first official date with back in hs died from cancer last winter, we had remained good friends all of this time and she and my wife were friends, we were at the service, graveside service, and went to her house with her widower, also a good friend, afterward

Of course you don’t go. Don’t be so self-indulgent and self-important.
Sounds like you’re trying to make this old relationship seem like it’s more than that. She married someone else. Get over it and leave her husband alone at his wife’s funeral.

I’d gladly go to any of my X’s funeral.

was married 15+ years. If my ex passed away I would absolutely go with my husband as emotional support for my children and their spouses. Plus the divorce was not my fault and his family knows that.
We all attended our new grandsons first birthday party earlier this year. I would not choose to hang out with them but I also choose not to make things hard on our children/grandchildren.

Good for you. I was nearly killed by one of my kids. Stabbed me in my chest twice before I disarmed him.

The Ex never called or visited me in hospital. Did NOT fricking care I was nearly killed.

In that case I would not go either.

If you were friends, then yes. Did your wife not know you were friends? If she didn’t, then no, you don’t go.

Would your wife be hotter than Africa if you did that?

This deserves a spin-off thread imo.

Depends. I'm definitely not traveling out of town for it. Probably wouldn't go if I were in town either

I was friends in High school with my ex’s husband. I shake his hand when I see them in public because I’m an adult. I don’t see an issue going to the funeral if y’all were serious earlier in life

This is stupid

That indicates a trust issue exists.
