Christmas Family meal without Husband

I’ll keep it short so as not to bore you, but my husbands adult son works away and my husband hasn’t seen him for about 18 months, they are close in that they text and speak on the phone regular. We are seeing him over the Christmas period (not Christmas Day) but we have just found out that sons sister, grandparent and Aunt and Uncle are meeting for a meal on Christmas Eve and we only found out by hearsay that this is happening. My husband has not been invited! He hasn’t fallen out with any of his family, in fact we are hosting them all Christmas Day.

AIBU to be angry about this, I resisted the urge to message them all but I feel like I may something at Christmas. My husband just shrugged his shoulders and said they just don’t think

Maybe they want a small lunch together?

He’s seeing him the day after Boxing Day. Having lunch with his girlfriend Christmas Day and his mum Boxing Day. I fail to see how he can just nip over for regular visits from Japan or my husband could visit him 🤷‍♀️

I don't understand why your original post was so oblique. Why not say your husband's daughter, his parents, his brother and wife are meeting up. It made it sound as though the sister was his son's half sister and the other relations were from his ex-wife's side of the family. Just a bit of a curious way to phrase it all really.

I'm glad that everything has sorted itself out positively

They’ve been asked in the group chat now and the answer was that they didn’t think he’d want to come because I couldn’t so they didnt ask. Still a shitty thing to do, they should’ve given him the choice

Sounds reasonable, good you have cleared it up and now your husband can join them if he wishes.
