Opinions.....kind of long
Last night, I had dinner with a very close friend. She has been dating a nice man for 1.5 years. They are both in their late 30's. Everyone keeps asking when they are getting married, and I know it bugs her because she wants to. She and her boyfriend have both talked about marriage, where they would live, if they want children etc.....She has a birthday coming up, and of course people are fueling the question to her big time.
Here is my question for your thoughts. She said that a female friend of the boyfriend asked him to join her for a family wedding in May. He said he will go with her. My friend is upset, which I would be too. She feels she has invested a lot of time into this relationship, and is torn on her feelings about the whole situation. As a side note, he also keeps a platonic relationship with an ex too. My friend has met the ex, and is not concerned. She has never met the "wedding date," but did peruse Facebook to check her out.
Part of me wanted to say "dump him, he won't commit and now is going to a wedding with another woman." However, I see her point too. This is just a friend, she lost her mother recently, doesn't want to go alone, and I feel for her to an extent. I am hoping you ladies can offer me some guidance to give to her. I also feel that if there is no commitment by the birthday, there may never be. She is one of the sweetest people, and only want the best.
Thank for your help, and you can also tell me to mind my own business if warranted. I won't be offended!

I question what kind of woman would ask a guy who has been in a relationship for over a year to go to a wedding with her. Unless he really knows the family well and has a connection, then I can see maybe. To the guy, I'm sure he doesn't see it as
