Hi Ladies, Just look for some opinions...
My partner and I have been together for nearly 3 years and in November he will be graduating after doing his teacher training and PGCE. It has been a difficult year for us and I'm going to be so proud of him! I really want to be there and see him receive his 'masters'.
The problem I'm facing is that OH has said only two people are allowed in the actual ceremony on the day, which put us in a dilemma as there is me, his mum and his dad (separated and remarried).
AIBU to be one of those attending the ceremony to watch my partner graduate? His parents were able to see him graduate for his degree already. I do feel a bit of entitlement as I'm the one whose supported him through this year.
I gave up my home and business to move where we are now so that my partner can get onto the course he's on, after me encouraging him to go for teaching in the first place. I've also spent hours helping him with his work and preparing resources for his teaching.
I really want to see my OH graduate, I can't wait for it! I just feel bad that if I go he'll have to choose between his mum and dad (he'll pick his mum). But I do feel like I should be there (tbf oh agrees) we just don't want to upset anyone.
We're expecting out first baby in July and feel like that I am just as much closer part of his family now as his mum and dad.
Thanks
