I talked to X last night and it turns out

He wasn't wild about going to the wedding anyway.  He just couldn't bring himself to tell my grandparents.  I called grandparents and told them I'm coming and bringing my new boyfriend.  They were not happy but they understood.

Thank you for helping me to stand up for myself.

Re: I talked to X last night and it turns out

  • Glad you stood up for yourself.  Why weren't your grandparents happy?  How long have you been dating this guy--does he want to go to the wedding? 

    Sorry for the enslaught of questions.

  • I think they're not happy that my X and I are moving on and that things are going to work out.  They absolutely love him.  BF and I have been dating for 11 weeks and he does want to go.

    Well, I guess grandma is never too old to learn that people have to live their own lives!  Good for you for doing what is best for you :)

  • I'm glad you decided to stand up and let everyone know that your x is no longer your "partner."

    But - inviting a boyfriend of 11 weeks in his place?  I think that is super-rude. 

  • I am so confused.  Why were you calling the grandparents about wedding attendance instead of the bride and groom?

  • You've been dating someone 11 weeks and he is going to a wedding with you already?

    I missed the back story but this is super weird to me.

  • Its my aunt's wedding so the grandparents (her parents) are taking care of everything pretty much.  She doesn't care who I go with.  They did

  • I don't see what the problem is with brining the BF to the wedding. 
  • I don't think there is a problem bringing a bf after only 11 weeks to a family wedding, as long as the bride and groom are okay with the change in plans.

  • Yeah I don't get what the big deal is about taking her boyfriend as her date? It's not HER wedding, she doesn't have the marry the dude just because she brought him. as long as he wants to go and doesn't feel pressured then I see no issue. And honestly why should the bride / groom care? As long as there are still the same number of guests what is the big deal?
