Funny story...

So my partner of 15 years' friend is getting married, she's much younger and I see her once or twice a week. I get on with her ok and I always make time for her autistic son, he's non communicative but I always make an effort and he responds now either by laughing or hiding whatever mood he's in.
She's asked for cash as wedding present to go toward her honeymoon and I was debating 'how much do I like this girl?' Do I like her £20 or £50 bearing in mind that each of these equates to the number of hours I work to get this cash in my hand 2 or 5 hours. I said to my other half, 'when's the wedding?'
"October...but you're not invited and I haven't been given a plus one." Odd because both of her daughters who the bride sees once a year have been invited with their partners! Guess that's 20 quid saved.

You should drop her. Give her the silent treatment. And dont reply back to her. And dont see her anymore. Shes using you. Ive seen many reddit stories about this situation. Its literally disrespectful.

@ScarletWitch I trust my partner but I'm still tempted to go and stake out the reception carpark, just to be sure. I'm more interested in why I have been excluded by her friend who I get on ok with.

Interesting ?? You have been together 15 years and are not invited??
I just went through that with my wife last year where I wasn't invited as well.

@GeniUs The son of an old friend of hers got married. She was invited and I wasn't. We have only been together 8 years. But knowing that we are married and not offer a plus 1 was completely strange and inappropriate to me. And for her to not even reach out to them and ask was just as bad.

@Teslin I agree about your missus that just seems odd. In my situation it's could be an oversight on the invite but you would think that for something like that they would've been careful. My partner and this girl have been friends for something like 20 years they work horses together and whenever I'm with my partner I help out with the horses, I just don't want to participate any more but the only person that hurts is my partner who in all fairness is too old to be working the way she does.

@GeniUs My thought is your partner should reach out and request a plus 1.
You should not lose a friend over this though. It seems you enjoy her company and helping her autistic son.

I never thought this until posting here but from the outside looking in (that's everybody here) am I getting played?

So today is the day and my partner is not only attending the wedding but having to run chores for the bride too! Nothing to do with the wedding but a couple of things that take her away from everybody else such as dropping by the bride's house to take care of her pets and another job at a different location, you couldn't make this crap up. I get the one job but somebody else could've done the other. I await a report back on how things go.
