That’s really rude. I don’t have any suggestions though other than do you have other friends you could do something with? Invite to your house? Kids friends? I don’t care about football and my spouse and I both do shift work so not going to to a party or doing anything together because we both work tomorrow. |
DH doesn't have firing ability or anything, so less ballsy than it sounds, I think. |
Why are you lonely? Let’s try and fix that!! |
Not on short, notice. We'll find something to do. |
It a work part for your husband's work. It would be weird for you to go if he wasn't there. |
When is the superbowl? The main problem is that you are lonely. You shouldn't be this excited to go to your husband's staff party. I get why you were uninvited even though it was super rude. Do you have any friends of your own? |
+1 But this is so incredibly awful that I can’t believe it! |
That's not how this culture is. We generally welcome spouses and kids alone. |
I get the feeling there is a lot more to this story, or it’s made up entirely. Wonder what the other side would say. |
Is it a military unit? Not sure what you mean by unit? |
Yes. |
Yeah, they want to talk about your husband without you there. That's so messed up after he's covering for them. |
If my direct report did that, their path to internal advancement would be over and their performance reviews would start getting steadily worse |
Unfortunately they tolerate you OP/kids because your DH is the boss. Without him there, they’d rather you not come. |
Focus on the bigger picture - why are you isolated? Work on that issue. |
