My partners brother hasn't invited me to his wedding!

Okay so basically, I'm confused. My partners brother is getting married next year. He's gave everyone the invites and basically has only invited my partner and not me. His reason being because "me and him have history from years ago". My point is I would never stop him going to his brothers big day. But with me not being there and especially abroad for a full week, everyone is going to wonder where I am. Now I dont know what to think. Could someone tell me what I should Do?

You don't 'do' anything. You are not invited so you don't attend.

Unless you are going to provide a massive drip feed, your partner will not need 'support' to attend his brother's wedding. You have history, however fleeting, with the groom so you surely must understand that there is an actual reason you are not invited? Unless you are close to your partners family, no one will be asking where you are.

Let your partner go and enjoy being at home alone for downtime.

The brother attending your wedding wouldn't be the same, as he's family.

I don’t know. If someone deliberately excludes me from their wedding then I don’t see why I’d have to invite them to mine.

If it would be weird for me to go to their wedding it would be twice as weird for them to go to mine after they’d excluded me from theirs!

It’s hypothetical anyway as they might never get married!

I think the reason he is not inviting you is a red herring. Could it be something else? Having to invite your children? His fiancé not being comfortable with you? His parents?
