I Need to Vent

One of my brothers sent me a message on Facebook all out of the blue today. Apparently he's gotten engaged, and is getting married next summer. I assume he wants me to attend the wedding, since this is the first time he's messaged me since like, 2010.

Thing is, I don't really get along with either of my brothers, and this guy the least. I don't really want to attend his wedding, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the family would notice if I was there or not.

I don't know, my pride, pettiness and obligation are at war here.

I don't get along with my siblings but if they were getting married I would still go unless they're legit pieces of shit

@APasserby I don't know, he was a piece of shit when we still lived under the same roof. Like, my other brother gave away my cat who he was watching while I was studying, and I still favor him over the other.

@NorthernRoses honestly he probably feels like he HAS to invite you

@APasserby yeah, I think that's it.

So I'm really struggling with what to do here. I'm obligated to go, but I really don't want to congratulate this dude on anything.

@NorthernRoses when I don't feel like going somewhere then I usually don't go if you don't feel like going then don't go maybe you can make a little lie
