Why didn't he invite me to his friend's wedding
If a couple have been dating for almost a year. Should the guy invite the girlfriend to his friend's wedding. or at least ask her if she wanted to go? if he didn't do both, what does this say about their relationship and the guy?
Inviting friends over when married? Thanks!?
Ummmm....unless you want to get a divorce, you don't socialize alone with friends of the opposite sex. Especially alone at your house. I love and trust my husband, but it would be weird if I came home and he were sitting on the couch watching TV with a woman who is not his daughter. That doesn't mean that you cannot have opposite sex friends. But usually they are a friend of both you and your wife and that you and your wife go out together with this friend...or group of friends. Generally...you are your wife are friends with this person and his or her spouse. And when you are old and mature enough to get married, what I just said will not seem so weird or confining to you. It depends on the person in terms of having friends over. Some people have friends over all the time. And others rarely have friends over. Marriage doesn't really make a difference in terms of whether or not a couple has friends over. Their personality determines whether or not they have friends over. My husband and I have friends over. Usually we'll have a 5 second conversation about it before we decide to invite some friends over. Or we'll have a 5 second conversation to let the other one know that Friend is coming over on Saturday. People will drop by from time to time. If either one of us are outside, neighbors will frequently drop by. Usually visits with neighbors take place in the front yard. Neither one of us would have an opposite sex neighbor alone in the house with us. You get to a point in life and marriage when you stop being selfish and self-centered. If I had a friend that my husband didn't like, I wouldn't hang out with this friend in our home. My husband is more important to me than a friendship. For the sake of argument let's say that my husband couldn't stand my best friend. I would socialize with my friend on the phone, or at the mall or at lunch, etc.
When you invite someone out for dinner, are you obligated to pay for them?
A few years ago, a friend turned 40, and her husband invited a group of us to celebrate with dinner at an expensive restaurant. The invitation was clear that the host (my friend’s husband) would pay for wine and light hors d’oeuvres before dinner and birthday cake after dinner, but the cost of dinner itself was each guest’s responsibility. I’d never gotten an invitation like this before, and I thought it was pretty shabby. The options were: 1) go out to a restaurant I’d never choose and spend money I can’t afford in order to celebrate with my friends or 2) stay at home and miss the celebration.I went to the party. Fortunately for our bank account, my husband had to work that night and wasn’t able to go with me. Just the cost of my meal alone, plus tip, was over $70. That was with appetizers and dessert already paid for by the host. If my husband had come along, we would have paid $140 for 2 plates of pasta, in order to help our friend celebrate.I still think it’s a pretty shabby dinner invitation.
If a friend of mine didn't invite me to her birthday party but she invited everyone else in the friend group, what should I do?
It depends on the friendship that you have with that person, and on what you want to do.You can end the friendship or you can keep it - it’s entirely your choice.If you are fairly close and you perhaps have gotten that person a present, you can still continue on being friends with them.If this one instance - you not being invited to the party - is a deal-breaker (as the wording of the question makes it sound), then perhaps the friendship is not as strong as you have believed it to be.Reasons for that are numerous, such as you already sensing that it’s falling apart (and your mind is yet to catch on to it), or this friend being more of an acquaintance than a true friend, or not being friends at all with this person (and now asking strangers to provide an insight to the person whom you allegedly know).There are also purely human factors - such as forgetfulness (you not being in top 50 list of friends) or perhaps this person was assuming that you are a good friend, so you don’t need an official invitation (yes, it means you have proven to be an unreliable friend and prone to assumptions).Until you stop asking others for advice and either ask that person about it (perhaps it was a true oversight) or end this friendship because you didn’t get some cake, you won’t realize that the choice in it is yours.As you have already assumed the worst about this person, you can simply disappear from their life - you have many other friends on whom to spend your time.In terms of your comment, withholding friendship has been proven as a bullying technique in kids as young as 2 years old.When you are older, and you’re looking for a life partner or when you look for a job, absolutely no one will ask you about the number of friends you’ve had in school and what kind of quarrels you got into with them. It’s yesterday’s news.For now, if you don’t want to be with this kindergarten-level crowd, let them be: they want to leave, well, hold the door open for them; if they expect you to beg to be in that circle again, ask if you want to be with these people (by associating yourself with them, you become one of them).Being on your own and adjusting to the new environment is not easy, but this is how you build character. Since you now have some free time on your hands, you should spend it on personal development - as you need a pick-me-up, I personally recommend “The Art of War”
Why does my girlfriend have girls night out and never invites me to meet her friends?
Hey there :) To tell you the truth, if she makes excuses and doesn't want you to come with her and she has done this several times then there is probably something going on she doesn't want you to know about. I have girl's night out with my friends sometimes and if my boyfriend wanted to come with me I'd be more than happy, although it is a girl's night out, I'd let him come with me. Same thing with him, when he hangs out with the guys he lets me come along if I ask to. You should have every right to hang out with your guy friends alone as she hangs out with her friends alone. And if she asks to hang out with you and your guys, you tell her no because isn't that what she does to you? Let her know how it feels, but she has done this more than once and has excuses? I would think something's up, check on it, ask her "How come you never let me hang out with you and your friends?" Tell her how you feel and what you're thinking, If she loves you enough she'll tell you, if she is a bit sketchy about it then ask her friends if possible. Clubs, and girls alone, are no other than places to flirt and talk to men. It's like my boyfriend going to a strip club alone with a bunch of guys and telling me I can't go, I'd definitely be mad, especially when he has done it more than once. Bottom line, talk to her about it. Communication is best if you want this relationship to last :) Best of luck honey, Shannon.
Why don't my friends ask me to hang out?
If you want to be better friends with each and every one of them, go separately to hang out somewhere, like, at a skate park, or... just... in town. somewhere. but go SEPARATELY. one friend each time, so you can get to know each one more and more, and you'll have even more inside jokes and such. it'll be easier to get closer to them. if you weren't originally invited, just don't go. my previous suggestions can help you get more original invitations. and YES. ask them why they don't originally invite you. becoming closer with them is gonna make them wanna hang out with you more, so then you'll originally be invited.
