Am I the jerk for not wanting my husband to go to his ex's funeral?

0:03.7

I'll admit I'm biased right off the bat. I couldn't stand her. I call her his ex to myself and others. He called her his friend.

0:11.2

We're all in our early 40s and she died recently an aneurism. I've been with

0:15.0

him for 10 years now but he'd known her for 20 plus. The way he tells it, they were friends in

0:19.4

college, decided to date, got married and then realized they weren't a great couple and decided to just be friends.

0:24.8

All that happened years before I met him. He was clear early on that she was important.

0:29.6

Couple of months into dating, it came up that his friend was actually his ex-wife he explained

0:35.4

the above to me saying she was one of his closest friends and that it was purely

0:38.4

platonic I expressed some discomfort at him being so close to an ex and he told me that's fine if you have a serious issue with it let me know now and save us some time I'll choose her I like you and all but I've known her for over 12 years and she is one of the most important people in my life.

0:54.4

You'll have to be okay with that if you want us to be a thing.

0:57.5

When we were engaged I asked again. He gave me this perplexed look and asked,

1:01.4

why would us getting married affect my friendships? I sucked it up and

1:04.9

went along. I resented every moment of knowing her, especially when we had to be social. She

1:09.6

understood some part of him that I couldn't. Her husband was friends with mine as well, so it's not like I could use him as an angle.

1:15.6

Oh wow, that is a horribly malicious comment, I've got to say. He'd have lunch with the X, they'd go to their

1:20.1

geeky movies and whatever. The few times I brought it up he said we had this

1:24.4

conversation before and you had your chance to back out. She died after they had lunch the

1:28.9

other day on the way to her car. He spent a bunch of time crying, but honestly, I was relieved. He was working with her husband on funeral planning. I told him, you don't think you're going, do you? This is my argument summed up. She's dead, so she's not a factor anymore. He doesn't get to use his

1:44.3

she's my friend excuse since she doesn't exist anymore. He had his cry for a couple of days. He

1:49.2

gets to be done with mourning her already. There's no need for him to go to her

1:52.4

funeral since I wouldn't want her at his.

1:55.5

What am I reading?
