I accepted that his family didn’t like me when we were dating, so I wasn’t exactly surprised they would do something like this. It still hurts, though.
Two years ago, a group of 11 women on my husband’s side, including his mother, sisters and aunts, went on a beach house girls’ trip. The group also included the daughters-in-law of his aunts. I was left out and wasn’t even told about this trip until after they came back.
No one has asked me if I am going or if I want to go. I wouldn’t go even if I was invited. I’m just bitter and fuming this time, instead of annoyed and amused like last time. Should I say something about it or let it go again?Despite the warmth of a beach vacation, getting invited to join a group that’s been so callous to you would feel like awfully cold comfort. So, try to let it go. It probably seems like an escalation, this being the second time.
Now, five months after my most recent relationship ended, I’m at the point of risk versus reward before considering getting into another one. Lastly, I don’t want to give up my final three All Go through No Go retirement goals in life.
