Family drama

Lizbeth, on May 27, 2019 at 1:39 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 9
I didn't know how to title this to be honest.
This is gonna be a bit long... Sorry!

So FBIL is getting (possibly) married next month. We are pretty sure he is not going to invite us. We haven't received an invitation and he hasn't spoken to FH in months either. So, it is most likely the case that we won't be invited.

He has been a bit of an ass to us before and he is a problematic part of his family for sure. He has been talking bad behind my back and to my FH and FH has punched him for saying bad things to my FH's face.... He doesn't like me, for some reason, at all. And truth be told I don't like him and I don't care for him BUT he is family. I should mentioned that the first time I met FBIL I was not with FH and he made a few passes at me, even then I found him a bit.... Repulsive. He was even trying to break us up a couple of times..

All of that being said, he is family and obviously FH wants to invite him. Of course I understand and of course I am ok with it. We even spoke about inviting him even if we know he won't show up.

But I wanted to ask, after not being invited to one of your close family members wedding. Would you invite them to yours?
Not saying I won't invite him but I wanted to know if someone has gone through something like this.

    In my opinion, someone inviting you doesn't automatically mean you have to invite them to your wedding. The guest list is completely up to you and your FH - including whether to invite FBIL or not!

    You don't need to invite him, you don't have to invite anyone you don't want.

    I wouldn't base the decision on whether or not I was invited to their wedding. I'd probably be inclined not to invite him, just given how he's acted, though. I have trouble inviting anyone to a wedding who hasn't been supportive of the relationship.

    I get that completely. FH really wants to invite a couple of his friends. She's nice enough, but he acts like I don't exist. They invited us to their wedding, and she really is a sweetheart, so we're inviting them, but I'm not thrilled.

    Goodness, if he is saying things about you that make him punchable, that's got to be a tough situation. I'd give it some time, since you have a while before your invitations need to go out, and see how the relationship evolves. I hope things will get better (maybe this is some weird stress reaction related to his own wedding??!) but if they don't that'll make your decision for you. Good luck!

    Oh no.... This was him being him back in August last year, before getting himself arrested. He decided to marry three months ago.... Lol
    I hope he learns from his mistakes though, I honestly do.
