Hi ladies. So this is silly, but I want to know if I am right in feeling slighted. All my friends don''t seem to get it or see anything wrong.
I want to college with this girl and her FI. I was more friendly with her FI, she and I were not what I would call frenemies, but not exactly close. She is very close to a horrible ex of mine who was abusive and just not good. So she is getting married and we have exchanged wedding chit chat and ideas. She is well aware of the fact that I am engaged and what my FI''s name is and what not. So I get my wedding invitation- it is addressed to just me. No ''and guest'' and no FI. I asked some other people- they were invited with a +1 so I know its not a budget thing. Their reaction was ''well they knew you can''t come anyway so what does it matter?" In my opinion because I cannot come (I live in Europe- wedding is in Chicago) wouldn''t it have made more sense to include my FI? Plus I am engaged! I have an entire wedding planned- it is not like I am not in a serious relationship.
I guess I mostly wanted to vent since none of peers ''got it.'' Also I usually send a gift when I can''t go to something, but in this case can I make an exception? Additionally- the big question is whether or not I invite them to mine? I joke that I just want to invite the groom since he is the one I am friends with- so ladies, thoughts? I am justified to feel a little annoyed and want to only send them the plunger that they registered for?
