Boyfriend didn't invite me to a wedding?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend got an invitation to one of his relatives wedding like two months back. I was a little surprised that he didn't ask me if I wanted to come. I have been thinking about it ever since. He once said oh maybe you wanted to come but he has never asked me, I mean I don't want to invite myself. He was even asked if he's bringing anyone but he said no. I have always wanted to go to a wedding, I'm just finding it weird that he didn't invite me or at least ask, I don't know..

Well it depends on how long you've been dating. Most of the time it could be that he doesn't feel ready to introduce you to his entire family. Just my opinion, but I think you should ask him. Open honesty is best for a relationship, especially when dating. I've been in relationships where we've been on different levels and some of those ended poorly because of lack of communication. Remember, communication is the foundation of a relationship, and you need a solid foundation to build a house that will stand for years to come. best of luck to you!

I have been in a relationship with him for a year. We live together. I have met his family many many times before.. I think you are right though I should just ask him.

That's the spirit. If you feel like this is going to be heavy, try and schedule the talk, it'll give both time to emotionally prepare. Because he could feel like you are springing this on him. So pick a time when you guys aren't planning on going out or to close to bed time, so that you can have a healthy conversation.

Guys are sometimes afraid that if they invite their girlfriend to a wedding she will start expecting that the big day for the two of them will come soon. Unless your boyfriend is Indian in which case he is probably just trying to spare you the agony of sitting through an Indian wedding.

How long have you been together? Weddings are the sort of thing people usually bring their partner too, but if it's not a long relationship yet it's understandable why he wouldn't.

[Asker]

For a year. We live together.

Kinda weird then. I wonder if it's the bride and groom's choice? Maybe they're on a budget or they want a really small wedding or something. I've never heard of somebody being in a ltr and just not going to things like this as a couple. like it's normal. I've even heard people worried about going as a single person and really wishing they had a plus one to go with.
I'd ask him if I were you.

That's weird and suspect.

Normal.. No guy wants to invite his girl to every event.. He just wanted breathing space.. Otherwise he'd need to babysit you because your unfamiliar with his group of people.
Also a lot of guys don't like answering questions about their girls... A lot would be asked about you if he brought u

[chebb]

have you met his family? how long have you been dating. not to sound like a dick but maybe his family dosen't like you or he dosen't takw the relationship seriously. you haven't given enough information on how your relationship is.

[Asker]

For a year. I know his family well.

I feel really bad for you but that is VERY WEIRD to be honest.

From a guy's perspective... he's likely hiding you from people (which is not a good sign at all).

[RandomStranger133]

He's right.

[Asker]

I have been in a relationship with him for a year. We live together. I have met his family many many times before..

[10dsw]

Regardless. Most guys who are very into their SOs will proudly walk them around. The fact that he's not bringing you around screams that he's trying to minimize the time he spends with you and/or does not want you around his family. It's a BIG RED FLAG sadly.

If my ex didn't invite me to her families wedding, I would dump her (I dumped her for unrelated reasons)

[Schnikies]

Meeting the family is a big step for some. If you have individually met his family at some point then that is a bit weird. you would have to ask him the reasons.

Sounds like a smart move on his part. If you bring your girlfriend to a wedding she's gonna start nagging about how you should also get married. Whenever women see a wedding they get that special "My precious ring" feeling about getting engaged.

[chucktoobig]

For me it's a matter of how long we've been together. If you haven't been together for very long then he might be worried that it's weird to ask but otherwise it could be for a million different reasons

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I agree he could of least invited you and if i had a girlfriend and was going to wedding i would invite her and all she could do was decline. Maybe you need to let him know how this has effected you.

[TasDevil]

sounds like a jerk to me maybe he's looking to score someone new there
sorry but that's my only thought hopefully im wrong

[Anonymous]

If he got invited with a plus one and you live together - yeah it's odd he isn't taking you.

[Anonymous]

Because this is how it ends up ya let's go to the wedding and have fun then she sees the ring and all of a sudden for the next month us guys get pounded non stop with relationship questions and it's annoying as fuck

[PartialisticMan]

Some guys don't think it is the kind of thing to invite your girlfriend to

[orfox56986]

you got to remember, those wedding pictures are forever, I know I have family reunion pictures with 2 different girls. now 10 years later, it makes me look some type of way.

[lolgamer505]

most men feel like there will wives can't have fun even if this is untrue if it's a close friends wedding its not like he hates you

[Anonymous]
