Is it "normal" today to include the ex spouse in events like graduation parties etc.?

My husband and I live in the home he previously shared with his ex wife and children. When she is inside our home, I feel like I am being judged by her. It is common for him to expect to include his ex wife and his former in laws to gatherings at our home such as graduation and birthday parties for their children. Isn't it more appropriate that she holds separate events for her children? These situations are EXTREMELY uncomfortable for me. All of the divorced people I know hold things like this separately. What do you experience?

unfortunately it goes on more then what you think, its all for the sake of their grandchildren to see that their grandparents and parents still do get along...yada, yada, yada!!

Been there, and the older you are the worse it is. You have to go along with it and bite your tongue and hope the exes have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

This always happens when you get into a relationship where theres alot of baggage, especially if they were married for a long time.

You need to stop letting this woman intimidate you and stand firm.This is your home now and your husband now so let all that other bull crap fall to the way side! Just be yourself and thank God it isn't everyday altho it does seem like its always something. Remember to just be yourself and if your stressed, don't show it or she wins.
