To feel slightly hurt that I’m never invited to his family things?

I’ve been dating a really lovely guy for the last 18 months now, never had any issues or anything like that, we get on really well.

We have met each other’s immediate family (parents, siblings, etc) and everyone gets on really well with each other and again, there’s been no issues.

Whenever my family have a get together for anything, he is always invited and comes along, welcome with open arms. However, it’s never reciprocated on his side.

For example, his family are having a meal together on Easter Sunday, I’m free on that day as my family aren’t doing it until the Monday and yet he is going on his own and there’s not even been a mention or invitation of me joining him even though his siblings partners will be going.

AIBU for feeling hurt and left out? It almost makes me want to be petty and stop bringing him along to my family gatherings 😣

That's odd. Odder though is that you haven't felt able to ask him why after 18 months together.

Have you asked him why? After 18 months, you’re definitely a partner, not a new girlfriend.
