Dear Abby: Man opts to take ex on trip instead of girlfriend

Shocked and hurt, the longtime girlfriend says she feels sidelined because Guy plans to take his ex-wife on the family cruise instead of her, though she hasn’t confronted him.
His brother proposed a family cruise and suggested Guy bring along his ex-wife, described as in early-stage dementia, though Guy has been divorced from her for decades.

Dear Abby suggested Guy bring the girlfriend and split costs with his brother to include his ex-wife on the cruise.
