So its your partners friends party and all the other girlfriends have been invited but you haven't? You and him are going on holiday together and you don't want this to cast a cloud over it? Is that right?

Why weren't you invited? Have you a newborn that your DP thought would be better off being looked after by his mum than a babysitter? Do you, by any chance, get shitfaced on one Bacardi Breezer, punch the host and throw up on the carpet? Have you asked him why you were not invited?

Correct Suwoo.

Madamez have asked. No response. Have no new born, don't drink and so provide a very reliable taxi service to all and sundry.. No punching or throwing up.

Slight aside here.. Enjoy being out and not drinking too so not sure but don't think it's that.

Do you get on with the host? Is it the host or your fella that doesn't want you there?
How serious is your relationship?

So you asked your DP why you weren't invited and he wouldn't answer you? Sounds odd to me. As VS says, is it the host saying 'Do't bring SImple' or your DP saying, I'm going to this party by myself?

I think it's a case of dp thinking that he should go alone with his friend. Who is M.

Which i understand, I do, but where does that leave me?

Have met host several times, on first name would speak to one another out / in the street.

I was not happy with dp today, didn't call or text at all last night, addin insult to injury... Oh how dramatic

WHo is M? Don't understand at all. Frankly I think we are all baffled. Either your DP sees his relationship with you as more casual than you do (and wants to go to the party alone to go on the pull) or you have somehow done something to offend the host and no one is telling you. Have you actaully had a conversation with your DP about whether or not your relationship is exclusive? Does he live with you?

"U get me? "

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
