Uninvited from Super Bowl party

[Anonymous]

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?

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.

It is unbelievably rude and uncouth of the host. The only reason they can host is because of your husband!

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.
