I am divorced. But I have a friend of mine (who divorced at the same time as me) who just married a guy she met after 1 year. Yes, I tried to give her advice but nothing worked. The thing is - she has never met his family. Supposedly he has a host of sisters and brothers, neices and nephews and friends in another city just a few miles away. He goes there quite often to visit his kids who lives with his ex wife but has never taken her to meet anyone. I see something wrong with the picture but she doesn't. She says from what he tells her, he has no interest in the x-wife; she's nothing and + she's moved on (they've only been divorced 1yr and a 1/2) and says he can't stand her anyway. Recently when they got married. No one, I mean no one from his family/friends came (he didn't invite them). Only her family was there. And more recently, according to her. She has emailed his sisters about a party for him and guess what - they are not interested in meeting her and are not coming. Supposedly they are all cool with the X. What is going on with this guy? She has her suspicions but doesn't know how to approach the situation anymore.

You probably should ask to have this moved over the General Questions II if this is about infidelity.
