A group of old work friends I am part of (6 of us) meet up a couple of times a year for food or a catch up.
Since the end of last year one of the group started inviting their boyfriend along. At first it was for a meal with four of us. He barely said a word apart from to talk to his partner, despite many attempts to include him in the convo. I thought he must of been shy.
A few months ago we had a larger night out where he was there again. I tried several times to talk to him but he literally ignored me, and honestly made me feel really uncomfortable
We are due to meet next month for food, and a catch up. And the first thing my friend posted was - "I'll only come if my boyfriend can come".
I haven't replied yet, but honestly don't want to spend another night with him.
Am I being off for thinking this is strange behaviour and likewise none of the other five of us have ever invited or suggested having our partners come along.
I need to decide whether to go and just try and focus on the others or again like a few months ago come up with an excuse not to go and miss out on seeing my other friends.
