What would your SO say?

If you wanted to go to your ex wife's husband funeral? Make a long story short, he was a contractor for a company I work for, nice guy, knew him for about 12 years. Never had any issues with him. He battled bladder cancer for the past 2 years and died Tuesday.



If she knows this and would give you shite about it, she fricking sucks.

She has every right to be pissed about you being a little girl and doing it behind her back. Your marriage clearly has trust issues.

Any wife getting mad at that is petty.

Any husband that hides it is an idiot. The husband takes a jaywalking offense and turns it into a felony.

No that she should get mad at.

I'm talking about going to the funeral in the first place.

OP should have been able to go to his wife and say he wanted to go...and she should have supported that decision. Offer to go with him if he wanted her to.

They have some communication issues

It always said ex’s. Look at the first response in the thread quoting OP. He updated it to say ex wife’s for clarity.

Unless there was some previous three way involved with you ex wife and her deceased husband, I'd say you did the right thing and she should understand. HOWEVER, seeing as it is that you are apparently married to a woman, you are wrong no matter what you do.

I'm the wife and I'd be ok with it. I mean, you had a working relationship with him and he was a nice guy. If your wife is upset, maybe she needs to reevaluate her heart?

The deceased husband did you a solid taking your ex wife out of the picture. If he was a good guy that you liked it was okay to go to his funeral, but you should have told your wife you were going. If wanting to go to his funeral would cause a big problem for her you may need another guy to come along and take this one off your hands as well.

I am not divorced and neither is my wife so we don't have all the insecurities that go along with that shite.

That said, were I ever to get divorced and remarry, I think I would make sure my new wife is not insecure in my normal dealings with a woman who was a big part of my life before her. A funeral falls into that category and in no way should it raise red flags for the wife, unless she already doesn't trust you, which sounds like the case here.

My ex fiance committed suicide last year. If it wouldn't have required me spending money on a plane ticket, etc for travel I would have attended his memorial service to show support to those close to him that I knew well (his friends and family).


Who wouldn't kill themselves if they let you get away?

If you feel it's best to pay respects to him and his family. This should not be a problem.

This is a problem: 1- the wife should be OK with you paying your respects, 2- you should have the balls to let her know your plans without going behind her back. Seems like insecurity and a lack of trust on both sides.
