I'm feeling a bit peeved today as my DP has been away for a week, came back yesterday and spent the night here with me, his DCs and my DCs, which was nice, so nobody missed out. His DB called him yesterday and invited him over for Sunday lunch today, so DP left my house at lunchtime to take his DCs to lunch at his DB's with no mention of me being invited.
I thought I got on well with his family, they seem to like me, but I feel like he/they don't consider me part of the family, despite being together for 3 years. We don't live together due to the logistics of DCs/schools, but we are in every other way a committed couple. I know DP will feel bad if I bring it up, but will probably defend his decision not to invite me by saying there isn't room for me and my 2 DCs to go too, but I feel that is a lame excuse as his ex would have automatically been invited so it's only the 2 DCs who are 'extra'. I feel that we should come as a package, but either DP or his DB obviously doesn't see it that way.
My DB texted to ask me what he should buy DP's DCs for Xmas. DP's brothers don't buy for my DCs. I feel like we are not considered part of his family, AIBU to feel left out?
