A number of relatives who are part of the extended family- who knew nothing about Dave's rudeness to the immediate family, tried to engage him in conversation and he was cold and distant to them too.
You would think he would just make the best of it and stay for an hour and then say he had an appointment.
The way your family seems to gossip, it would surprise me greatly if there was a single person at the event who was not aware of Dave's transgressions prior to said event, and that includes Dave himself.
If his new wife already reamed him out for being unsociable (goaded on by her wonderful family and the extensions thereof) I give him a lot of credit for even re-entering the vulture nest. Maybe like the OP he's gathering material for a work of fiction. Or he was so taken aback by the dysfunctional family that he needed to go back into the fray one more time to assure himself he wasn't either imagining it or it was all a wild and whacky nightmare. Rather the way I feel when I spot another thread from the OP and am inexorably drawn to it.

I know! It's like seeing a car on the tracks with a train bearing down on it. You can't look away! Maybe we need a support group.
I'd just ignore him. If you're making the effort and he's not, forget about him. They'll probably be divorced soon anyhow and then you dont have to worry about it.
