Are you still friends with all of your exes? Had she parted ways with you in less inconsiderate manner, would you want to be platonic friends with her now?
I'm a little confused here. Would you be her male escort for the evening? Where is her daughter's daddy in all of this? Will he be there? Did she invite any other exboyfriends? Or is she inviting everyone she knows or ever has known for this performance? Is she planning to introduce you to her daughter? And as as what? An old family friend?

I'd simply tell her I don't feel comfortable being there. If you want to send a congratulatory card, gift or flowers, fine. But don't do something if your heart isn't in it for someone you don't care to see.
If you promised, you promised. If you hadn't wanted to go, you shouldn't have agreed in the first place. I'm really amazed at the people on this board who think it's perfectly okay to weasel out of an invitation that one's accepted.

Oh, I forgot about the promise. I have to agree with the last two posters then. I've always told my kids, a man is only as good as his word. Like mrstewart said, "...next time...."!

Why should he be uncomfortable all night? And his not going isn't going to upset her daughter... unless she's required to fill a certain amount of seats in the audience. And asking an exboyfriend of 20 years ago to ones own childs performance is a very odd request imo. Unless that child is 20 years old.
