SinkingFast Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) Ok so yesterday I posted about losing my job and I got some great advice but now I have a new situation I need some help with... My live in boyfriend is a medical researcher that manages a team of researchers. He is one of the higher ups at the company. So anyway he sent me an email today asking if we had plans for 0ct 31st and he attached an email from his boss saying his boss and wife are hosting a dinner at his home for some out of country clients, with traditional Thanksgiving dinner. His boss invited my boyfriend and some other of my boyfriends colleagues to this dinner. The email also included an invite for the spouses to attend. I responded reminding my boyfriend we have plans that night (Halloween) with friends of ours. We already bought costumes and everything. My boyfriend is sometimes absent minded about dates, so he forgot it was Halloween. The point of this dinner is not only to welcome these international customers but to show them the American Thanksgiving holiday. The invite specified to bring "history of Thanksgiving knowledge". Not for nothing but my boyfriend doesn't know much about Thanksgiving himself. He is not American and has only been in the country 3 years. I told him if he needed to attend this dinner and if it was so important than fine, but I assumed he would bring me to the dinner. But he said he wasn't planning on inviting me because I wouldn't "like" it. I can't help but feel that he is ashamed or something, maybe cause I lost my job, I don't know. I mean we live together and I'am an American so I know plenty of the holiday. He would be the only one attending this dinner alone, all his colleagues are bringing their significant other's. I'm pissed off. shouldn't I be? Edited October 18, 2011 by SinkingFast
