If that is what he has done, I personally would not go, I might find I will have a go at him, and get myself into trouble with the law.

No way would I go, If your OHs sister is happy to be in the company of someone who has admitted to that she must be out of her mind.
I would report him.

Re: "Friends" over family?

I too can see why some people wouldn't go, I certainly wouldn't, not now that you have explained his crime.

You need to make a decision, talk it over with your other half and if he wants to go and you don't, I'm sure he can make excuses for you.

That's exactly my OH's reaction. We're not going, and he told his sister why. Her answer was "Well he hasn't been charged, so do whatever you like."

You can't control who the hostess invites, but you can control if or not you go.

Re: "Friends" over family?

As they say, you can choose your friends but not your family and there is nowt queerer than folk.

Personally I would not go as I have a tendancy to say my mind and I would tell the guy exactly what he is and upset the party.

The man has admitted to it. He seems to have no feelings of shame if he is prepared to face people at a party, all knowing what he has admitted to. Personally I would not share the same air with him.

I'm pleased you and hubby have made a decision Annie.
I'm sure it is for the best if you are not going..saves any trouble for both of you.

I should mention that we're not married, just partners sharing a house and business. I seldom see anyone from his family but this could have been a nice get-together.

Can't get my head around why his sister would continue a friendship with someone like that. I feel sick thinking about it and there's no way we will go. He knows B by sight and wouldn't hesitate to beat the crap out of him if their paths ever cross.
