Ok, so I was asked my opinion on a matter and for once, I have no idea how to answer so I thought I would bring this to my blog family and get your feedback.
So here it is.
Brad and Buffy have been dating for 18 months. Brad has met Buffy's parents and siblings and friends. Buffy has met Brad's parents, 2 of his 3 children plus an aunt and uncle even though she hasn't been around them in about 9 months. I mention all that to say they've been around each other's family and friends.
Well, it is graduation season and Brad's eldest daughter is graduating college next month. There is a party being planned in her honor. Obviously all of Brad's family will be in attendance including his ex-wife (his daughter's mother). Buffy has never met Brad's daughter or her mother (Brad's ex-wife) as yet but they are fully aware he is dating Buffy.
Buffy is torn about whether she should attend the graduation and party or just let Brad, his family and ex-wife enjoy the day without her. Is it appropriate for her to attend or not?
How would you feel if you were dating someone for a year and a half and was faced with this dilemma?
If she did not attend would that deem their relationship irrelevant and unimportant?
Now she is pondering all this with the assumption that brad is even going to invite her to the festivities. What if he never even invites her? Should she be upset about that?
As you can see, I have no idea what to tell her at this point.
HELP!
