(14,528 posts)this is something you can never come back from.
there is a reason he is an ex-boyfriend.
and a reason you have stayed married for so long.

I can't believe it's been 50 years!
Sorry, couldn't help it. I agree with you wholeheartedly.

(7,272 posts)I would be fine with it. Ive learned a long time ago that 1. I don't need to be a part of everything that is in her life. 2. If I don't trust her to do the right thing on said trip, what am I doing with them?

(8,445 posts)I agree with mercuryblues. It sounds like you're very tempted, but give it a LOT of thought. Even if your relationship with your spouse is rocky, you may want to consider what kind of pain this might possibly inflict. What impact will it have? And is it worth it?
You know your situation. We don't.

(13,255 posts)If you want to go and your spouse doesnt, how would spouse feel about you going with EX?
Why are you wondering what the hell you are supposed to do? It doesnt seem obvious that an off the wall invitation from your EX would be so hard to answer.

I particularly like the song Number One which uses Ritchie Havens - Freedom - motherless child song from the fest in the tune with Son Little
No I really like the whole album actually and got to see them live this summer at lolla
