Dear Amy: I told her that we would not be spending thousands of dollars (flights, hotel, rental car, gifts) for a 15-minute ceremony. Her response was, “You can come, and he can sit in the hotel.”

Her invitation stated that my 17-year-old son was invited only to the wedding ceremony — not the reception.I told her that we would not be spending thousands of dollars for a 15-minute ceremony.I said that we were still not coming. And , “By the way — that was so rude.”We’re still not going to this wedding, as I am still not going to make my son sit in a motel room.Dear Irate: You state that you want to make this situation better, but you don’t outline your definition of “better.

We get together about three to four days/nights a week for a movie, to cook together and sometimes to go fishing, which we both enjoy.The first time we met, I told her that I’m a long-term sober member of AA. I don’t like to be around people who drink. I also explained that, alcohol aside, I also detest events like weddings, parties, group outings and so on.

She was extra-miffed that I would not attend a huge 300 person 50th birthday celebration for her very closest girlfriend.Now she has taken things to yet another level, pushing me to attend her niece’s large destination wedding.She thinks I’m rude, mean, and overall the bad guy for declining.
