Recently, we had a big family gathering, and my mom, who still had a good relationship with my ex, decided to invite her without telling me. I only found out she was coming when she showed up… and, to everyone’s surprise, she came with her new boyfriend! I knew we’d moved on, but seeing them together in such a personal setting and in front of my whole family was awkward on a whole new level.

My parents tried to act as if everything was fine, but the rest of my family was visibly uncomfortable. The worst part was when my grandma, who doesn’t hold back, outright asked if the new boyfriend was “better” than me. My ex got flustered, her boyfriend looked uncomfortable, and I just wanted to disappear. After that incident, I felt embarrassed and even a bit upset with my family for not giving me a heads-up. This definitely wasn’t the gathering I had in mind.

TL;DR: TIFU by letting my family meet my ex without knowing she’d bring her new boyfriend
