     Snubbed by "boyfriend"?  

I would like to know if I have been snubbed by the man I have been dating for the past year. He has been invited to several of his friends weddings that have taken place out of town. I was told by him that guests were not to be invited due to budget restraints (these were destination weddings hosted by wealthy friends), only to discover after the fact, that a wedding invitation was addressed to him and a guest. When I confronted him about this invite, I was told by him that he was of the belief that, only long term relationship (live-in couples), or married individuals were considered appropriate wedding etiquette, as far as guest invites are concerned. I have NEVER heard of this before! Is he correct?

Also, he was a groomsman in each of these weddings as well as the most recent, his fathers wedding, in which he was also a groomsman. This was his fathers THIRD marriage, I have met his father on only one occasion. I was told by my "boyfriend" that due to the awkwardness of his fathers third marriage and his disapproval of the event, he wasn't comfortable inviting me. I'm almost ashamed to ask, am I being snubbed? What is the proper etiquette in these situations? Thanks for your time and input.

The correct etiquette answer is if he was invited to bring a guest then he could have invited the guest of his choice, including you. If his invitatikon did not include a guest then, no, he was not entitled to invite any guest.

I cannot answer if he was snubbing you. That will have to be a question for your boyfriend.
