Ex-Spouses Meet at Son's Engagement: Who Should Introduce?

0:00It's April 30th. Welcome to Birmingham News Today, powered by AI. A listener's got this sticky family etiquette question after showing up to her son's engagement party with her new partner only to find her. X has been already there and nobody making the intros. She and her ex have zero contact thanks to old bad blood and even their adult kids keep him in arms length by choice so these run-ins are rare and tense. When she arrived, her partner held back, figuring it wasn't his job and she wonders if their son, as co-host, should have stepped up to bridge the gap between dad and her guy. Miss Manor says the main responsibility falls on the hosts, like the son or his Beyonce who usually stick near the door to greet everyone right away and avoid these awkward misses. For upcoming wedding stuff, the key is for everybody to pitch in on intros when needed instead of waiting around to see who drops the ball, keeping things smooth without more drama.
