This is a sensitive question. My friend
is in this position and would appreciate
your opinions...

I would definately go to the funeral, and
if you ended on bad terms. This is your
way to make the peace with your ex.
But if you were still good friends when
you split up, then you owe it as a friend
to go to the funeral to pay your respects
another way of thinking of it is : " would
you want her at your funeral if it was the
other way around?"
hope this helps?

Most definately, if u think he'd like you
to be there go tell ur partner if he needs
to know im sure the person who has died
will appreciate it and it shouldnt be such
a big problem gl

I agree. Even though an ex is an
ex,friends or not you should go. You
still once had a relationship with this
person,admired this person,shared things.
I think that is a kind of special
situation. It's still important because
bad or not that person was a part of your
life and will be in your memories for
always. There was always something to
learn from every relationship..

I would only go if you were on very, very
good terms upon their death.

I'd go regardless of how I was getting
along with him at the time. He is the
father of my child and i'd want to show
respect to my son's feelings regardless of
my feelings for his dad.
Not to mention I might just want to be
sure the health questions is gone for
good! Lol!

I would go if u were on good term with ex
and his family if not dont go, here's my
reasoning
his family is the ones who are
grieving(parents) if you didnt get along
they would get upset and in a way it is
kinda of rude to be a party crasher at a
funeral! If you were invited than go I
dont know if its a traditional funeral (if
u guys didnt get along but ur paying ur
peace you sit on the left hand side in the
back) there's actually etiquette for
funerals wont go there!
