Well, she pointed out how she and her boyfriend are long past “just dating” and in a very serious relationship. She also asked whether he’d be invited if they were engaged, yet her sister said no. Her boyfriend would only make the guest list if they were legally married.
She felt like her sister was blatantly disrespecting her relationship, and she decided to put her foot down. She made it clear that she wouldn’t be showing up at her sister’s nuptials unless her boyfriend was allowed to go, too.
Still, this only made her sister angry, and she got accused of causing unnecessary drama and making her sister’s big day all about herself. Her parents have even taken her sister’s side, believing she needs to suck it up and support her sister no matter what.
She obviously loves her sister and genuinely does want to be there for her. However, she can’t stand her boyfriend being left out like that.
“I don’t want to go without him because it feels like a slap in the face to our relationship,” she vented.
“And my boyfriend hasn’t said much. He says he’ll support whatever decision I make, but I can tell he’s hurt, too.”
This has left her wondering whether refusing to attend her sister’s wedding without her boyfriend is the right way to handle the situation or not.
Do people have to tie the knot to be considered family? What would you do in her shoes?
