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.

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.

@Teslin What happened in your scenario? I just can't get my head around this ATM and have been laughing about it up until typing it out here, now in my mind it's taken a serious turn. I'm pretty sure that my other half isn't messing around but I'm wondering if somebody is trying to set her up with another man.

My partner won't be drinking or staying out late as she has work early the following morning so she won't be persuaded due to alcohol.

@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.
