  • People suck! I am aggravated because my DH and I were not invited to our BIL's relative's wedding when the rest of DH's immediate family was! The reason (I suspect) is because I have not been the most social individual toward these people, I think they are fake, and can be kind of hostile and unfriendly to them when I see them at my BIL's house.

    • i would have no expectation of attending my bil's relative's wedding (whter it is my sister's dh or my dh's brother). you need to grow up and get over crap like this. though I am curious what stupid things did you do back in the day?

      • But wouldn't you be curious if EVERY OTHER SIBLING in the family was invited? As for the "Stupid things", I would be standoffish, occasionally talk $hit to them (and about them) when I was drinking, and basically not ooh and aah over them the way everyone else does...

        • sounds like maybe the other sibs weren't standoffish or talked shit to them or about them.

          • You're probably right. However I am taking this from the angle that my DH's family usually invites EVERYONE (whether they are an asshole or not) to everything and I probably need to realize and understand that most people do not do things the way my DH's family does...

      • I think you're the one who sucks. You admit to being "hostile and unfriendly" to them, so why the heck would they invite a bioche like you?

    • Are you close with them? There is probably a reason you are not social with them. If that is the case, I wouldn't want you at my wedding nor would I want to go to a wedding for a couple I didn't really get along with

      • OP: I personally am not close with them, however my DH definitely has more "history" with them (he met them and socialized with them in the 80's, where I didn't really get involved with them till like '96 or so). As I said, it's ME they don't like, and I am feeling bad that my DH (who they DO like) is being excluded.

        • I am not being snotty, but is it possible a) they don't like your dh as much as you think or b)it's not about you? Maybe there is some other reason- either way life is too short to worry about a wedding you may not have wanted to go to anyway.

          • np: ita. It might not be about you at all. And even if it is, better to assume it's not about you, because it's not as if you can confront them

          • OP: Not taking it as snotty at all, however this is a 300+ person affair and it was made public that the parents were paying for ALL OF IT, so it is not a budgetary reason. I hear what you are saying about life being too short, but I can't help feeling pissed off about the whole thing...
