My sister is getting married next month after years of postponing due to COVID, it’s been long awaited.
Her husband to be had his stag do yesterday which I have only found out retrospectively. I vaguely knew what he was doing for it and presumed it would just be friends going but I’ve discovered my dad went along. My partner however didn’t get an invite at all. Admittedly relationship with sister isn’t as close as it could be and I have taken a step back recently to protect my own well-being (I am maid of honour but I have told to step up and do more to prep or be demoted, etc) but we have all been on holidays together, abroad etc. No other siblings either. We live close by. I just feel a little bit disheartened. I know if I had such a big scale do, I’d invite my OH’s brothers girlfriend. It would feel strange and exclusive of me not to. Maybe women are different?
They are not overly close nor have much in common but it’s thrown me that other relatives of mine went. I don’t want anything getting in the way of them having a genuinely fantastic day. They don’t do things by halves and deserve to enjoy every minute as they’ve waited so long. My OH is not bothered and says he understands why he wouldn’t but I feel a bit tense over it. I just wish for everyone to get on I suppose!
How would you feel about this?
