Would you expect to be invited?

DH’s female cousin is home at the moment having lived abroad for a decade.

They have gone out to dinner and I’m not invited. I’m really shocked.

Would you be or am I being stupid?

You've never met her and other partners aren't invited so I would say YABU. If she is only just back from living abroad I suspect she just wants to catch up with people she knows and doesn't want the whole thing to be a meet and greet of various people she's never met. Doesn't mean she doesn't want to meet you, just not on that evening.

If he hasn't seen her for a decade then can maybe understand them catching up without you. But if she is here for a while and they meet up again, I would think you should be invited that time.

I think YABU then, she wants a catch up with her cousin, sure you can meet her another time

If no partners are invited I would think nothing of it. It’s a family catch up of the family members who know each other.

I would expect to meet her, the only question being where. Someone who is part of the family.

Never met her. I would think she would want to meet. Husband did ask if partners were invited and she said no.

Depends if you know her/get on with her? It wouldn’t bother me I don’t think,

I would say something. If it upsets you you should always mention it. You can always say politely I was a bit surprised I didn’t get an invite and you didn’t say anything….

Are other partners going.
Do you actually know the cousin.

I wouldn't expect to be invited and it wouldn't bother me so YABU
