Family Trouble - HELP

Sign in to disble this ad
My ex-wife spent 7 hours in a hotel room with my cousin and I am pissed. The next day was my nephew's wedding, which my cousin was in town for.. I did not go to the wedding (I could not make it anyway), but I also did not go to the reception cause I knew I would not be able to bite my tounge and not start anything.
I understand that it was not a great decision, but I think it was the best one I could have made..
Let me know what you think?

E-wife? Did you get her on Ebay?
If you meant ex-wife, why would you care what she does?

You could have found a smokin' hot babe and brought her as a date to the reception.

Maybe the e-wife just needed a place to crash before the wedding and she and the cousin split the cost of a hotel room just to sleep and change in?

I don't nail guys. Great thought though. I am not kidding with this. This is really tearing me up. The wedding was in our home town. My cousin is from Colorado. My ex-wife lives 2 blocks from my new wife and I. My cousin came into town, but never even spoke to me, but spent all that time with my ex-wife. Family first.

You can't sweat this stuff. You got to get to a point where you don't care about it. Really, you're divorced with a new wife now. Leave it alone. It will only end badly for you, where you end up looking like the bad guy.

Sounds like this wasn't the first time this happened.

Regardless, the bigger question is, what do think can be accomplished at this point? What's done is done. She's your EX, dude. There's probably a reason she's your ex. As far as the cousin, big deal. He's probably like a lot of guys, he'd do an alligator if you drained the pond for him.

Just carry on. Go forward. Don't sweat things you can't fix. It's stupid.

What they said.

What your cousin did was tacky, but it's certainly not the worst thing they could have done. For all you know, he had the hots for her while you were married to the ex, and he finally got his chance to live the dream. Doesn't sound like you and he are that close anyway. Chalk this one up as poor judgment on his part and move on.

My ex-wives have my permission to sleep with anyone they want, whenever they want & wherever they want. This includes brothers, cousins, nephews, priests, serial killers, space aliens, but never...NEVER the mailman. Just joking, they can sleep with him as well. I'd write them all a letter but I don't have enough stamps.

I second all the motions thus far. Don't worry about what the ex does, and don't worry about your cousin either since he apparently cares much more about a good time than his relationship with you. I wouldn't sweat it too much.

Having said that, I will be available for "dissappearances" next month.

Peace,
Greg

I don't know. Ex-cheat on her or something.

You only have an issue with your cousin IF....

1) the ex-wife really messed you up by cheating on you
2) took all your money when she left
3) dragged your kids across the county somewhere you can't see them much

My point is, if you and the ex just "didn't get along" and the split was no biggie, then you just need to move on. If, however, she really messed you up in the process, your cousin has some real loyalty issues and you should take it up with him. Or you could ask your aunt (his mother) about it. As soon as an aunt gets wind of it, it will spread through the family like wild-fire and he will have it to deal with from all directions.

She's your EX-wife, which, as I'm sure you know, means you're not married to her any more. You no longer have any say-so in who she bangs. If you walked in to find her and your cousin getting busy on the floor of your living room, that might be considered very rude of them, and you'd have a reasonable argument. However, they didn't, and you don't. Get over it. End of story.
