Boyfriends Step dad
My boyfriend and I are making plans to get married and recently his mother just got a divorce from his step father. He is not a very nice person and has been trying to convince my boyfriend that I am not the right women. We had problems before with his step dad constantly telling him bad things about me that are not true. Here is the question that I have..since my boyfriends mother is no longer together with his step dad do i have to invite him to the wedding?
Re: Boyfriends Step dad
You don't have to invite anyone to the wedding.
Why - does your FI want to invite him?
Does your FI want him there?? You don't HAVE to invite him since he's technically not family anymore.
I was good friends with a couple for 8 years and when they got divorced I opted out of inviting the husband to my wedding because I was much closer friends with the wife. Did I care what he thought? Nope.
I have a better question...
WHY does your FI alloow him totalk bad about you? And why does he go back for more?

Me three.. and why would your FI even consider inviting someone who is bad mouthing you to your wedding?
Why would you want someone who has never really said anything good about you to your wedding?
You are under no obligation to invite him, or anyone else.
My advice would be to not worry about this until you are actually engaged. Who knows what could happen between now and when you are actually writing out your guest list. Your boyfriend could no longer be talking to him, or he could have changed is opinion about you. Heck, he could still even convince your boyfriend that you aren't the right one for him and there won't even end up being a wedding.
There is no point in worrying and starting fights about things now based on what ifs. Just concentrate on the two of your and your relationship, enjoy your engagement, and save the wedding-related stress for when you actually need to plan the wedding.
