Aibu..please be gentle with me as it’s the first time I’ve had a rant! .... my partner and I do not live together, we are both in our 60s. He has never been married and not got any children. We’ve been ‘together ‘ for 6 years. He has a few female friends who have subsequently become mine too. He has announced today that he is taking one such friend for lunch today, as it was her birthday last week. She took him for tea when it was his birthday. Now I know there is nothing going on, but I am miffed that he has not invited me. I didn’t expect to be invited when she took him as it was very much off the cuff and I would not expect her to pay for both of us. Today was apparently promised a week ago! He hasn’t asked me as he wants to take his 2 seater sports car and probably pose? Says he’ll take me tomorrow, which he knows is not convenient for me. As she is a friend of mine too, I feel it would have been nice to be invited. What if it were the other way round?
I would add that he is fed at mine every Wednesday and every weekend, if we go out to eat we take turns to pay. He is usually very careful with his money, unless it’s something for him. He is not short of money. I know this sounds childish but I feel hurt.
