You create more drama and stress for the family and most of all the brother/husband with this move. My boyfriend was like you, not interested in meeting any of my friends or doing anything together. Those are two vastly different instances and in example #1 the LW could be HUGELY blowing this out of proportion if the SIL just spoke wrong/phrased it in a strange way. He has had bbq's, games nights, birthday parties, and just regular parties there. So if the LW slapped the SILs child and berated her MIL to the point of tears, she should still be welcome? Hubby needs to stand by her. January 15, 2013, 12:17 pm, Yeah, we really dont have a lot of information to go on here. that those details were left out. January 15, 2013, 10:50 am. My (30m) boyfriend has never invited me (24f) to hang out with his friends even though their girlfriends always come along. if you dont plant the seed, it doesnt grow. im sure theres a solution to this but you left out the why so we cant give you the how. the husbands family hated his mom for whatever reason, and so she just stopped going to FL when they went to visit. January 15, 2013, 10:08 pm. lets_be_honest And that line about the integrity of her marriage is just flippen weird. But I guess Im the only one here who doesnt think its really that big of a deal or that married couples dont always have to be invited to everything together. And, if its the familys problem, then he should decline to support their efforts to exclude the person he chose to marry and spend his life with. Lots of travel? Her situation is the complete opposite, her boyfriend is purposefully isolating her from that part of his life. January 15, 2013, 12:04 pm. If thats the case here, I can definitely see the rudeness. So let your husband go to the party, stop pitting him against his family, and stop basing the stability of your marraige on his willingness to dump his family for you. Yeah, after reading the clarifications the LW wrote (thanks, LW! So, in all honesty, I have NO idea why Im not invited. My husband and I got together both with kids from a previous marriage we have a 11 mo of our own! Obviously there is a reason she did not invite the LW and the LW does not want to say what it is. Theres also the chance that hes just being shady as the behavior is not normal and I would expect him to insist on taking you.This could be a red flag of him not being the one for you. He's afraid you'd be jealous because he has a semi flirtatious relationship with a female collegue 3. Do you two get along?If you do please pick up the phone and just like call her. When you finally gear up the courage to ring him, it goes to voicemail, all 11 times. Same with friends. ), so he goes to see his sister/family and the wife stays home. You aint gonna be the next Kim and Kanye with a fool like him Nope. In my opinion, the SIL is acting childish and petty (unless the LW has committed one of the acts I mentioned above) and the LWers husband should stand up to his family for his wife. So my boyfriend of around 1.5 years attended a party tonight and he failed to extend an invitation to me. Just because you always invite him along doesn't mean he is obligated to do the same. Maybe you have an idea about why you weren't invited: there's a friend of a friend whom you don't really get along with, you don't really know that many people going, so it wouldn't make sense for you to be invited if it's a smaller get together, or it could be about awkwardness between you and an ex that the host just didn't want to deal with. If youre to have a future together, its important you meet his family members and (hopefully) are accepted as an extended member of his family. You sound really co-dependant. Wow.So many comments.All I have to ask is what is the real backstory on you and his sister? LW, I think you should either flat out ask your husband what the f is going on or call your SIL and ask her what the f is going on. Frankly, if my family excluded my husband, I wouldnt go, but Im crazy loyal like that. reader, So_Very_Confused+, writes (5 May 2014): A My SIL is a wonderful person. Ive never written to an advice column before and found Wendy by Googling for advice. You feel like you're a part of something and that feels good. Nothing! Maybe it's getting overwhelming keeping your frustrations in, it's getting impossible to pinpoint a reason, or you just want other perspectives on the situation. For anything. We do holidays together & events & etc we live 2 hours away so we don't see them all the time but when we go out there we stay with his sister our kids play together, we talk & we joke.

Since the day you said i do, you are family. By Maggie Parker. And that time you bumped into his aunt whilst shopping in Sainsburys for wine and crisps? but what this LW *can* control is how she acts. It will suck your soul away you will always be the bad guy and you will never win. Nothing. Since we have no information about why this LW was exluded, we have to assume there is some kind of bad blood (or else she wouldnt have been so hurt right??) I would have loved to go with you as your wife.. I dont like my uncle but hes invited to my wedding because he is family. If my bf ever did this, I would tell him I know he had a party and didn't invite me, and I am not interested in being his girlfriend anymore. 6.

LW, Id look into this a bit more! January 15, 2013, 3:57 pm. And if the reason rests with your behaviour then some self reflection is in order if you want harmony in your family. Dont take any of lying down. January 16, 2013, 9:46 am, I still think something about this is odd. Its not the end of the world if you spend one evening apart from your spouse. this will only become a wedge if the LW *makes* it a wedge, which is exactly what she seems to be doing here! My boyfriend doesn't invite me to the Thanksgiving party. If that was the case however, I feel like you might have mentioned it. I was nodding my head in agreement and shes right, if this slight ruins the foundation of the LWs marriage, there are much bigger problems. i love any excuse for a good party. He needs to put me first and stand by me. ill be there. January 15, 2013, 11:57 am. At all.

(You know that old saying that in order to have friends you first have to be one.) so, instead of being around a bunch of people I do not know or my children (our children dont know her either, which is my problem with her) do not know. Idk help ! You've made a lot of progress. Once you accept the fact that you weren't invited, and understand that it happens to everyone at some point and that everyone feels left out sometimes, it's easier to just move on from the situation. Make yourself known, make it known your not lying down, not letting them decide what your family is going to look like. It hurts my feelings. theattack Yeahits not sitting well with me that youre husband doesnt want you to go either. I can no longer trust you. Attempt to figure out why. But without an update, I guess we wont know! He has his own consequences since lord knows he doesnt want to be in the middle of his family and his wife. Are you sure youre not invited? either you are an asshole or your SIL/husbands family is an asshole. alright. Soeven though that person may be nice, and kind, and wonderful, they may not top the list of "people I want to invite to a party". 2.

Good counseling, haha been there, and they tell me what Ive heard before. Only 2 months and 2 days til St. Patricks Day! Isnt it kind of a given that you get invited to things together? My boyfriend know about this but still failed to invite me and encourage me to get out there.
