Boss / Ex lover...Do i have to invite him?

OK so years and years ago i had this sorted fantasy affair with my boss...girls, you know what i mean...in the office after hours etc.  anyway, i left the job on good terms and then actually was asked to come back about a year ago.  So now i'm making my guest list, and my man of honor insists that I have to invite him b/c he's my boss.  But he's also my ex you know? What are your thoughts invite him or no?

  • I HOPE this is made up.

    You never have to invite coworkers. You should probably not invite coworkers with whom you've had SORDID affairs.
  • Please to be explaining "sorted fantasy affair". Thank you.

  • I'm thinking no.  I mean are other ex lovers invited?  I'm hoping no, so he shouldn't be invited either.

    Obviously. You must get on it immediately Fische. Pun totally intended.

    Perhaps ;)
  • Yes, I too would like details. Sorted fantasies are my favorite kind. I sort mine in shoeboxes. But man, is it hard to stuff a unicorn in a shoebox.

    I dunno whether you should invite him or not. There's nothing inherently wrong with inviting an ex to a wedding. One of my exes will be at ours. But only you know what the relationship is.

  • You know...we slept together a bunch of times...we didn't actually date or anything.  my FI knows all about it and could care less.  But it's a very small office of 5 of us, and I'm assuming they are expecting an invite

  • I have no idea what your man of honor is thinking. You don't have to invite your bos. Honestly, given the history of your relationship with your boss, how is this even a question?
  • I slept with my teacher, does that count?

  • Just don't talk about the wedding at work. Then, don't invite anyone from work.

  • There's no obligation to invite co-workers, period.  If you don't socialize with them outside of work, don't invite them.  Your wedding is a personal life event, not a work networking event.  If you don't think you'd still be friends with them if you didnt' work there, or you wouldn't invite them to your home for dinner, don't invite them to your wedding.

    For cereal?

    And I think Rach would agree that you can only invite him if he's the groom. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />

  • I actually did sleep with my boss before I met DH.  Tee hee.  But no, I didn't invite him to the wedding.
  • Well... one of my friends had an affair with her boss and he bought her a car. Yeah, top that!

    Then the boss's sister accused my friend of having an affair with HER husband, so she got the heck out of Dodge. And returned the car.

  • My general rule is not to invite anyone who has seen my vagina.

    Ok, I never EVER call MUD, but... the way you're talking is way too 'c'mon, guys, doesn't EVERYONE have an affair with their boss??'

    But if this is real, why do you care who your MOH wants you to invite?
