... been together for 10 years. I was included to the wedding ceremony but not my partner. I sent him the following text message:
I was a little confused regarding the link you sent me yesterday, it says who's coming? I only saw my name. Is the invitation for my partner and I or only me?
He replied with the following message: Sorry for the confusion man.. it's an Intimate Wedding Ceremony (25) people, including my bride and I. I invite you and (blank), (blank) and (blank) b/c I consider you my brothers and my family. We're sorry we couldn't invite your partner or any other plus-ones. But we hope she can make it to the celebration on (blank). It will be in (blank) and will be a different invitation. Please call me if you would like for me to clarify.
My friend has known my partner for the past 10 years. We've occasionally gone over to his home for special occasions where he formally introduced his finance to us. He's also been my partners son's college counselor for the past several years. The three friends mentioned are not currently in relationships but know who my living parner is. I was taken back by his response and didn't know how to tell my partner. When she asked for recent updates I felt terrible giving her the news. We both felt upset, disappointed, and unimportant. We don't agree with the decision. My question is should I reach out to tell him I won't be attending and give my reasons or should I attend?
