His ex-gf's mom invited us for Christmas dinner

[Turpentine]

So I've been seeing this guy for about 5 months now, and Christmas is coming up. We hadn't really planned on seeing each other that day; instead we're going to spend our time together on Christmas eve, exchange gifts, dinner etc.

Lately he's been going over to his ex-gf's mom's house to help her set up her Wi-fi, her tv and show them how to use their ipods. They're not really good with technology and they just got a lot of tech stuff for their kids. His ex moved to another province, and I don't have a problem with him going there. I've met her a few times, and she seems like nice woman.

Well one of those scary nice woman, I just feel awkward around her she's so joyful.

Today she invited me and my boyfriend over for Christmas dinner. On Christmas day. I feel really weird about this because she's not even related to either of us, and she's my boyfriend's ex's mom. She use to hate my boyfriend, but it's been over four years since those two broke up, so she seems to have gotten over it.

It bothers me though, but it doesn't bother him. He doesn't even think it's weird. He just sees is as "Lisa being Lisa". I would like to go, I said I would (she was being so nice I couldn't say no). But I don't know if she's just being friendly, or if she's like plotting to poison our food.

So what I'm asking, is what you would do in my situation. :/

That is a bit weird, I probably would make up some excuse and say no. I also sense you don't want to go. But first, you have to discuss it with your boyfriend, tell him you're not very comfortable around them, if you show him some good points I think he'll understand.

I agree

DO NOT GO
I would never trust an ex's mother
Take our advice make up some legitimate excuse
Sounds like she may be trying to get him to go back with her daughter

Well I kinda want to go, just for a new experience, but yeah I think I'll go out of a courtesy and say I have to leave by "such-and-such" time. Unno, it isn't a big deal to my boyfriend, I know he would understand if I didn't go. I would just feel really rude. :/

And I'm not sure about the whole "getting him back with her daughter" bit. That thought crossed my mind but apparently those two aren't on good terms. She did something horrible, and she's living in a different province now.
