memorial day bbq question
a neighbor/friend of mine has a big bbq at her house every memorial day. i haven't gone much because XH was always a pain in the butt.
my son loves her son and she has made it clear that once you're invited, you're always invited.
i have a new SO and, because i haven't really attended in the past, i don't want to just show up.
do you think it would be ok if i called to let her know that i would love to come and ask what i can bring?

Do you speak to her regularly? If not, I don't think it's right. I would wait for her to ask you.

Re: memorial day bbq question
I would just casually say "hey, are you still having that BBQ because if you are I would love to come this year since I wasn't able to make it in past years".

I mean you can always blame it on your XH if you really want to go.

I would just approach her beforehand and say something like 'i haven't been able to attend in the past because of XH, but this year i'd love to come if i'm still welcome'
That's better than just showing up..

Re: memorial day bbq question
i would just call her up and shoot the sh!t for a little while, just say that you've been thinking about her and that you would love to get together sometime.. chances are she will invite you at that point.

I think this is the best approach. I'm sure you will still be welcome and she will appreciate the fact that you asked and didn't just assume.
