Am I horrible if I miss my ex-fiance's daughter's birthday?

I am just wondering if it is bad for me to miss her 6th birthday? My ex and I was only together for 2 years and her daughter was with us the entire time. She did start to call me dad also. But then our relationship fell apart and now my ex and her daughter moved to another state. Well we have been broken up for almost 1 year now and she was wanting me to show up for her daughter's birthday party. Is it wrong or a bad idea if I do? I mean my ex and I still get along and we communicate regularly. Also, is it wrong or bad if I don't show up for her birthday? I don't know what to do? I don't want to give her daughter the impression that we are getting back together. As I want to move on with my life.

    If you go, it may confuse the little girl - especially when you have to leave again. You don't want to send her mixed messages. She's too young to understand the complexities of relationships and break-ups. A nice gift and/or a phone call to her would be better. But if you phone, you might want to be prepared for questions from her.

    Honey,adult men say the main hurtful issues sometimes and don't even comprehend it.My husband has completed the comparable concern,and while he asks why i'm crying,he says,"i can't have faith you're crying over that,i'm right here with you're no longer I?he's had an ex spouse too.thankfully, he's not in any respect mentioned that he ignored her.He would not,that they had a bad divorce.only attempt to think of of it like this:the guy is with you,no longer her carry directly to that overlook with regard to the hurtful comments.a guy would not understand that he's being hurtful.they do no longer think of that way.Sorry for making this so long.that's a sore concern for me too.

    Send a card. Maybe ur ex is using her daughter to get you back. If its not ur baby then it sounds rude but you dont owe any1 shizzle, shes young she will get over you.

    no...i dont think its bad that you dont show up...just explain to her that you dont feel that its the right thing to do and you dont want to give her daughter the wrong idea...just tell her what you just said to us!!!
