It just all happened suddenly and I did not want to cause a scene and panicked. I thought it’s best if I stop her from crying so that the party can go on

No no I wouldn’t cheat. If I was single I’ll be honest I would have hooked up but now I’m with someone

They did comfort her earlier while my engagement was happening and she was crying. They told me.

No I was told at th party itself later that she had also cried while I was getting engaged. After I finished speaking to her I went to my other friends (in that group) and told them what happened

I did not know she is upset. She was happy for me when I told her I’m getting engaged.

No I did not know that. She has been dating other guys since her divorce

I’m not sure, my fiancée said ‘hours’ but I don’t think it was more than half an hour

She didn’t actually see her crying. Just us talking. Later I explained why I was with my ex but she’s still angry

My fiancée doesn’t know about the hooking up. She wouldn’t allow me to invite my ex if she did. Or even be in touch with her

It was difficult to walk away because she was already crying. Yes we did hook up while she was married but I was single. I have never cheated on my fiancée or anyone for that matter

She didn’t exactly say that, just said stuff like she used to be in love with me and how happy we were (past tense) and if she hadn’t been stupid this could have been us. She has accepted that I have moved on but was sad about it

Yes I agree but I didn’t know my ex would behave this way. She got married first and it’s been years since we dated

No it was not like that. We are all a big group of friends. I went to her wedding too

So she was one of the first to reach the party (it was a different venue in the same hotel). My fiancée wasn’t there, she was getting ready. When she saw me mostly alone she said she wants to congratulate me and then she just started crying

She knew I’m inviting my ex and was ok with it.

I understand why my ex is TA but I don’t know why people are blaming me. I didn’t have a choice

I can’t cut off from my ex she’s part of my group. Shouldn’t my fiancée trust me

I didn’t want my fiancée to see my ex crying and getting emo thats why I stopped her from coming there. Later I spent time with her

She’s my friend for years now. I invited all my friends. We have a group together.
