Cheating Ex.. how would you react to this?

Well OP its a lesson learned and it sound like you are on the up and up anyway so i would show up and be cordial. You've dodged a bullet tbh. Its a bit late to be planning revenge or some kind of comeback for her actions now anyway. Hope you are sufficiently protected/insured with your current gf ;)
 
Wtf is the religious stuff about?

The whole point of this thread was to gauge what people thought if the hand was offered and what they would do if put in the same situation.

Unsure how this thread turned into a psychometric evaluation of me.

I've moved on, not going to cause a scene and going to be civil.

I'm 35 for Christ sake.. I was just curious of the variety of opinions on the subject.
 
2 things:

1) best way to show you are over it all is to be nice, friendly and don't care. Yes you got screwed over, lesson learnt, holding any resentment or anger is only going to have a negative effect on yourself.

2) When you meet them, look at the kid and say "You know I am your dad don't you!"

:D

Bang him, then the ex, then your current partner and then yourself before screaming "THAT'S THE WAY UH HUH UH HUH I LIKE IT"

Go hard or go home is what I'm saying here.
 
This kind of screwing people over financially is why I always keep money separate - iv had ex's split up with me as I refused to do anything other than 50/50 on important stuff - obviously not with nice gestures of buying dinner etc, but nope, I will never put myself in a position to end up as OP did, if a woman thinks your a gravy train, then they are not a nice human being.
 
Ask him if she's still into,dogging and reverse pasty smashing ?

Her moral compass was non existent so no reason why yours shouldn't be now . Woman like this make me sick to the core.
 
Could you be smooth and cool enough to shake his end and then "serve him" with well put together list of items she owes you for in a crisp, white envelope. He'll ask "what's that" and you'll say "your girlfriends debts that I paid off, those are now your responsibility", then you'll pad him on the shoulder and say "read it at home then let me know how quickly you can pay this sum off and in how many instalments, my email is on the bottom of the letter". Then walk away. Any time he'll try to come back to you during the event and discuss it you'll just keep repeating "look (his name), this is probably not the best time and place to be discussing this, take it home, read it, then let me know". If he gets shouty at any point you'll reply "Listen (his name), she's your fiancee and your future wife, not only you can't expect me to pay your bills for you, but any discussion about it is a bit cheeky on your part, don't you think? If you don't like the responsibilities that come with this relationship, pass them onto another guy or something" Then walk away.

They'll never pay you but they'll always make sure not to be in the same room as you, thus saving you any future heart aches.
 
I'm with the

Show her you have completely moved on and shake his hand and say hi.

Even slip in 'thanks for the save on that one' said with a smile.

Remember also their relationship might or might not be good
Surely the ex knows him extremely well from their 7 years together. Will know exactly what the score is, and will be able to read OP well enough to see through any kind of false front.

Blanking them both will let her know he's angry, still upset and that the break-up damaged him. Ditto if he behaves weird (like showering affection on new partner) or says something "clever" to the ex's new fella (which he will repeat to ex most likely).

I'm no expert here (virgin forcefield blah blah), but perhaps the best thing possible would be to retain composure, observe protocol, not to blank them or put on an act. Shake the guy's hand, politely acknowledge the ex (maybe even smile?), don't say anything beyond formal pleasantries, then spend as little time with them as possible - not because you're avoiding them but because you've got better things to do, right?

Any kind of response... looking for some kind of power-play, doing something to get back at her - anything like that - surely she's won. She gets to see that you're (still) hurt.

And maybe she doesn't even think of the OP anymore and will just think he's being a moron. Maybe she doesn't care because to her he's a distant memory. Maybe she moved on and expects he did the same?

e: As a confirmed beta this will be laughed at by the guys here that do even lift.
 
I think you have it spot on FoxEye. It certainly beats the hilarious passive aggressive approach in the post above!

Say hello if you are put in a situation of being near them, then enjoy the evening and don't worry about them.
