My grown children are planning a family reunion of just our family. Because one of them has a timeshare someplace, the reunion is being planned for hundreds of miles away. I guess they plan to have a bedroom inside one of the condos available for me to stay in which is fine.
Here's the tricky part. I live with my never-mo fiance who doesn't understand the idea of travelling that far just to get together when most of us live in UT. We'll be flying there.
Also, my ex husband will be there.He and I are both out of the church. He's gay (but AFAIK, he won't be bringing anyone). The kids are all TBM. He and I get along ok, but I know it will be awkward. The kids can't say two sentences without church topics coming up. It's very annoying, and well, boring.
I want to see all my kids and grandkids of course because some of them live in other parts of the country. We have lots of history as a family. My fiance is going to really feel like the odd man out and he has social anxiety and is shy. I love him and I love my kids.
I need some input. The easy answer would be to go alone.
