How bad is it to not go to a wedding with your bf/gf?

It's totally fine to not go if you really don't want to and it doesn't bother him. I doubt people will really think much of it.

H and I are going to a wedding in a couple weeks that H is a GM in, and I wasn't sure if I was going to go until like New Year's. H would have been fine on his own, and I doubt anyone would have thought twice about me not being there, especially since we have to take time off work and pay for flights, rental car, etc.

I don't think you should worry about what other people think about him attending alone. If he was fine with it, and you really didn't want to go that badly, who cares what anyone else has to say about it? But at this point, 4 days out, I think it's a little too late to be having remorse. If you were considering changing your mind, the time to do that would've been about 2 weeks ago, before the couple likely had to turn in their final numbers. It would be a PITA for them to add you back in now, if that's where you're going with this...

Do not feel bad about how it will look. FH has had attended weddings without me. I have gone to weddings with him. I would however sit down and talk about the real reason you aren't going. That is important!

I have gone to many weddings without my FH just because he has had to work. No one said anything. However I do think you should tell him the truth

If it was because I wasn't invited, I'd be mad. If I just didn't want to or couldn't go? Meh. He can decide for himself if he's comfortable with that. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't care as long as I knew other people.

I am inviting 4 couples to my wedding. I know the ladies quite well, and they are close to one another. The husbands range from casual acquaintance to never met. I am properly inviting all 8 people, but I would be surprised if all the husbands actually come and the ladies didn't make a girls trip out of it.

I don't think it's a problem to go to a wedding alone, especially if your boyfriend doesn't mind. I personally wouldn't want to go to a wedding without my FH, but I'm pretty shy.

Like PP have said, I think you'd feel better about it if you had just been honest about why you didn't want to go. If your boyfriend's friends aren't treating him well, you ought to speak up!

It's completely fine. My FH went alone to one of his friend's wedding even though we we're dating at the time. And yes, I was invited.

We've each been to a bunch of weddings solo!! The last one my husband attended by himself was for one of his golf buddies I've met only a handful of times and it was in California (we live in DC). He had other friends attending so it was way easier for me to sit it out, save the cost of a cross-country flight, and then he was also able to split a room with two of his guy friends to keep their cost down!

I've also attended weddings solo when my husband had a work conference or other commitment that weekend, and we've split up before and each gone to a different wedding!

It's not weird at all but I would prep your fiance with a "they couldn't make it but send their best" response!

I wouldn't feel comfortable not going to a wedding with my husband. It depends on how many people he knows at the wedding. Like if he knew most people at the wedding, it'd be fine. If he didn't, I might feel weird. But in certain circumstances, I wouldn't get upset with him going to a wedding without me.

Agree with others. I would have no issue going to a wedding without my husband (mostly financial reasons as we have a number of friends/family getting married throughout the country the next few years and it is really tough for us to both out of state 4 times a year). I think you should be honest on why you don't want to attend though.
