My Partner of 8 years being invited to family wedding without me...

My partner and I received a save the date about a year ago, for their cousins wedding, whom we both have a good relationship with, it’s not a close one, but when we do see each other we all get along really well. Well the invitation for said wedding have just arrived... but only for my partner to attend during the day, and for me to join in the evening... the location is a good couple of hours away so it will mean travelling and turning up by myself. Am I being unreasonable to be a bit upset to not be invited? We’re not married but have been together for 8 years and have kids together. My partner can’t see why I’m upset/annoyed by this, and just keeps calling me immature and self centred for being a bit irked by it.
Any advice would be great. Thanks x

Been lurking on this thread and am really pleased to see that your DP has totally backed you.

I hope you both have a lovely time.

PS a long white dress would be perfect for an evening do! Grin

I don't understand the logic of the argument that they can't invite you to the ceremony because of numbers, if they're inviting 100 people, OP. That has to mean that they are prioritising friends over you. Surely most people in that situation ask family and their spouses first, then friends. Have the B&G explained why they're not doing that?

Enjoy the wedding with MR WONDERFUL maybe you can get drunk and forget the crappy way he treated you which you've deflected the entire post

Absolutely not. I would rather choose my friends who I would buy lunch for or cook for anyway over family I am not close to.
