Partner of 8 years not invited to wedding

[NHOU1]

I (49F) have been invited to a wedding - AIBU to expect that my partner (48M) (we've lived together for 8 years) should also be invited? Bride is Canadian and it is being slanted that as most of her family will be travelling here for the wedding she should have 75% of the invited guests so numbers are restricted for his side. It won't be a cheap day (outfit/present/drinks/travel to and from venue) - would you go or not? 😕

If it's your sister or something, it's strange, because they will know your partner well and he's essentially part of the extended family.

If it's a co-worker, it's less strange. And if there's a few of you in this class presumably you'll be at a table together and able to chat.

Does your partner know the person getting married?

There's a lot of variables here but if I had to respond based on the OP, I'd say YABU.

As so many others have said. Impossible to say without more detail.

DH and I have been married for 30 odd years. I've fairly recently been to a friend's wedding to which he wasn't invited. I went, and I had a lovely time.

He has also been to a wedding (q a few years ago) without me.

But, as everyone has said - it depends on the circumstances.

But I agree there is no "should" about it. Every wedding is different.
