Today, my grandparents thought it would be acceptable to give me and my wife Christmas presents to take to my ex-wife, along with a card saying how much they missed her and to get in touch with them next time she is in town. FML

My current wife is very sweet and nice and the ex is terrible to me and my family, but they still won't let her go for some reason. I have tried talking to them but they refuse to listen to me or believe what I say. And to answer #9 the card was not in an envelope.

Nobody is saying the OP expects his family to hate his ex-wife. If they want to keep in touch with her, that's their prerogative, but they need to do it on their own. To communicate to the OP's ex-wife through him and his current wife is just plain rude unless the three are on good terms.

So, what's the problem? Anyway, I can't really call this a FYL or YDI unless You can tell us the relationship with the Ex-Wife.

YDI for seeming like nice. agreeable to your grandparents instead of the spiteful, bitter people that you really are.

Well it depends on how long the OP and his ex were married, if it was quite a long time then the grandparents might have had a real friendship with his ex. The friendship with his ex has nothing to do with how they feel about his current wife, it's probably a whole separate relationship.

Also, it depends on the relationship between the Ex-Wife and the OP.

So what man, they love your ex wife. Cry more about it. Just because you guys didn't work out doesn't mean your whole family has to hate her.

I agree, just because you and your ex didn't work out doesn't mean everybody else you know should hate her.

Agreed. I don't see why both his grandparents and his ex all have to lose friends because of their divorce. That's pretty selfish of him, to expect that. They might have been married for a decade of family occasions, or more. I can see hating your ex, but why wish less friendships on your own grandparents? If they want to talk or exchange gifts at Christmas, that's none of his business. And to kewltinko, what if they don't have her phone number or address? Or, his ex wife might be afraid of talking to his family after a messy break up.

Then he can say: Here is her phone number and address. Why would she be 'afraid?'

Keep what ever they gave her. TDI. Your grandparents should know better, even if they are old. Teach them a lesson, do there own damn work next time. By the way YDI...how did you know what the card said if you didn't open it.
