I had a girlfriend who went through a similar experience. Her husband cheated on her and then wed the mistress. He wanted his kids at the wedding which was destination. She obviously didn't wanna go so there was a compromise. He paid for her to go, she stayed at a hotel, the kids were picked up for the wedding and chaperoned by family. After the wedding she was able to enjoy a little vacation time with her children. This is what I think is a reasonable outcome… Definitely don't let anyone guilt you into going especially after you gave a brilliant compromise.
Honestly why can he or his parents or other family watch after the kids if he wants them there so much??
I wouldn’t want to reconnect with an old friend who had to have her boyfriend tag along. That would be really odd.
