Why am I not attending his company parties?

Re: Why am I not attending his company parties?

  • imagemariahhopek:
    I attend happy hours for my job and I always bring him along. I hate giving people the wrong impression.
    I don't know why you feel you have to bring him to work-related happy hours so as to not "give the wrong impression." What impression is that?
  • My best friend is a vet.  Sometimes her and her colleagues go out for drinks after work.  Her fiance goes all the time.  I've gone to meet up with them too. I think it's very strange that your FI has never invited you (and doesn't even tell you if he's going??).  Where I work is a closed facility and so it's a pain to bring external people in and we always have work parties around lunchtime, just employees.  But if my husband really wanted to come, I'd work it out.  And we don't drink, because we're at work.  I don't really understand having regular "parties" after work with alcohol but not bringing SOs?  Seems fishy.

     

    Vet offices are open to the public.  I have dropped by to surprise my friend with birthday cake before and they are happy to see me.  Why don't you drop by and surprise him and his coworkers with donuts or some kind of snack?  And make sure the front desk staff know you are his FI.  If they act surprised or this somehow makes him unhappy, something is definitely wrong.

  • Is this real life?

     

    Why do you want to have a baby with him?  Seriously?

     

    Why did his child's mother dump his ?

    I would be suspicious, though not rush to conclusions. How about dropping in for a quick visit around a lunchtime? Just as a surprise, maybe with a small gift or card. 

     Also, request that he put the parties on the calendar for courtesy's sake.

    Give up trying TTC until you are satisfied about your fears.

    I totally agree with this! Just stop by really quick with no notice and see what the atmosphere is like around there. Introduce yourself to the group.

    How does he get home when he gets DRUNK?  Does he drive?  If so,k that's a HUGE issue.

    I'll say this- right now this is WHO he is.  If you get married, THIS is who you're marrying.  You need to figure out how serious this is to you and work from there. 

    And put of TTC for now.  I get your concerns, but bringing a child into a relationship that does have a major issue is NOT a good idea.

    All of this. 

    I wouldn't even trust him just based on the information you've given. I know Facebook is silly, but keeping the relationship status hidden is shady. It's even worse that you are not "allowed" at his work or work related functions.

    I would stop by his work. Just a friendly visit. Maybe you could bring him his favorite beverage. Then you can introduce yourself. Just get a feel for the atmosphere. 

    Oh, and trust me. You DO NOT want to TTC yet. Sorry you're going through this during a time that should be happy.
