Partners family don’t talk to me. I go to family functions and have noticed the women mainly haven’t made me feel welcome. I make a bit of small talk but they never say much. Also feels like they go silent when I’m around. Takes me back to school days. Haven’t told my bf as don’t want to make trouble but it’s getting harder to be around them. Aibu to tell him or should I not to mention it and just grin and bear it. Been together 3 years. A long time. His mum sisters don’t even know me despite me going to a few family meals etc a year. I find it odd. My family don’t treat him like this

Have you posted about this before? I’m guessing you didn’t find the answer you needed.
its not a nice situation to be in. Could you not decline any future invitations?

He really should have noticed it himself after three years, its most likely he knows but isn't saying anything for a quiet life.

They are not acknowledging you because your partner is not making it known to his family that they HAVE to. Maybe you aren't important enough.

I know a friend who had this issue then when they got married and had kids it all changed. Some families are just toxic.

Why put yourself through this, just don't go anymore.
Honestly you don't need to be joined at the hip.
Don't allow people to treat you like that.
When he goes to family things... wave him off.

This has already been posted, almost word for word. Did you not get the answers you hoped for?

What are the males like? If you have only met them a handful of times you cant expect to be close. Have you made an effort to get to know them? I'd mention to dp they don't talk to you much and see what he thinks.

This again! Good for you, try again and see if you get a totally different set of answers.
