Dear Care and Feeding: Watching Tim with his girlfriend, I feel like I'm watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Now Sarah has told him that if he bought a big house for her and her kids, she would break off all connections with the other men and exclusively date him. So he is house-shopping! He is going to buy a house for her and her kids after only dating for three months. All of our friends have tried to talk to him about our concerns but Tim refuses to listen to reason.
My question is: can I invite only Tim to events, holidays, and friend gatherings and explicitly exclude Sarah? And if she shows up without being invited, can I completely ignore her or ask her to leave because she’s not welcome? I have zero respect for her, and I physically don’t want to be around her. This is a slow financial, emotional, and mental train wreck in the making and I don’t want to watch it happen.
