After this snub, why should I go to the baby shower?
My pregnant oldest niece just had a gender-reveal party to which I was not invited. She called me instead to tell me the gender of the baby.My sister-in-law is now having a baby shower for my niece. I don’t feel like I’m being treated like family anymore. My brother and his family never invite me to any family get-togethers. I’m wondering why I was not invited to the gender reveal party, yet she’s inviting me to her baby shower.
My feelings are if I wasn’t good enough to be invited to the gender reveal along with her friends and the rest of our family, then why should I go to her baby shower?If you want a relationship with your pregnant oldest niece, attend the shower and be friendly. If you decline the invitation, you will further the estrangement from your brother’s family.
I don’t know what caused it and neither do you, but you should definitely ask if you did something that offended them because it has been hurtful. I have been in love with a man for 34 years. I was married to him once then divorced him because of drugs. I have been remarried for eight years now, to a wonderful man who is good to me but aloof to my needs or desires. I am not in love with him.
When we talked early in the marriage about my needs, he got sullen and said he would “try.” That lasted a very short time. He is focused only on his wants and needs.
