huh? your ex is having a baby shower? is your ex a girl or a guy? lol, sorry if that sounded stupid or rude. no intentional.
if you mean an ex boyfriend's girlfriend/wife/whatever is having a baby & i was invited to her shower.. then i guess it depends on the situation & how it ended with my ex & stuff. if we were on good terms & everything was behind us, then i would feel alright going.

LOL yeah...I guess that was alittle cryptic.
My ex and his pregnant girlfriend are having a baby shower. We did not end on good terms (we ended with a pregnancy scare ) But we are of okay terms now. I dunno...it's just kinda weird. I don't think I ever really forgave him....I dunno I should be over it. I'm just confused.

Yes, but it would depend on how it ended.

I went to my ex's wedding....just for sort of a closure type thing I suppose! We really didn't end on good terms(he cheated and got the girl prego!) We are fine now...I guess it would all depend on how you felt and if you would be comfortable in that situation.

If you are over him then I don't see why not. Me and my ex are on good terms and I know that I would go to his girlfriend's shower. Heck, I would go to his wedding but I think that we have a really neat friendship now.

Does she know you're invited?
If they honestly invited you to be nice and not to cause drama, I don't see the harm in going... if you feel like it, that is. If you don't want to be there, I would suggest apologizing in advance but buying something off their registry anyway. If you know anyone else that's going to the shower, maybe they can bring it for you along with a nice "wish I could be there" card.

Oh don't get me wrong I will definitely buy a gift. And I will be actively involved in his son's life. My mom and stepdad are going and I will be sending our present with them.
I don't think they would invite me to start drama. (More because they have to) But I know that she doesn't like me.
I don't think I'm going to go. I think I would just be to uncomfortable.

Is this the step-brother guy you were telling us about? if that were the case, I might go. But you said she doesn't like you, so 'eh...maybe I wouldn't go.

Yeah, it's the step brother. So that is kinda why I'm torn. Its family (kinda) so it's rude if I don't go. But I don't want her (or me) to feel akward. Its her day and I don't want to take away from it. I should be the last thing on her mind.

Yeah..It's a long story so bear with me.
I was dating this guy. My mom was single and his dad was single. We figured that if we set them up we would be able to see each other more. (we really didn't think things through. ) Anyways, are parents fell in love and they have been married for 6 years now. So we were in *no* way related when we dated.
He was also first (and the only, other than my dh) I coinsidentaly developed an ovarian cyst the same month. Being as young and uneducated as I was on the subject I figured that I was pregnant ( I was three mo late by the time I told my mom) When I told him, he flipped and told me that he was to young to handle that. (He is two years older than me). It was ugly. But he has apologized numerous times. But I don't think I ever really forgave him. That is why I'm hesitant to go to the baby shower. Basically, immaturity
