Step daughter’s graduation

A few weeks ago it was my step daughter’s graduation and the graduation ball. I was not invited. GF chose to not bring me and her ex did not bring anyone. I am fine with that. Although, nothing was said to me about it. I was simply told. Daughter’s graduation, you won’t see me that weekend. I thought it was weird. I can’t even tell you what my GF wore. I was not talked about anything even as a conversation, excitement for the graduation. Nothing. So this morning I see a picture on my step daughter’s dresser of the graduation. My GF had her wedding bands on. Is that weird??

Is it weird? it depends.

Are you living together? and if so, for how long?

You say this is your GF, so you're not married and she's not your stepdaughter. Did you raise her?

It looks like your GF wants to keep you hidden, and she thinks she's still married.

@Northwest over two years together.Thank you for your insight. Daughter always introduces me as her step daughter. So I feel comfortable saying that.

@Jammy She may be introducing you as her stepdad, because she may be uncomfortable with saying "mom's boyfriend".

It's however clear, that the issue is with your GF. She is not ready for you to be part of the larger group, and that's whom you should be having the conversation with.
