[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About 12 years ago, I started attending DH’s family reunion as a guest; then we were engaged, then married. I’ve been going to this reunion every non-COVID year. About 8 of them were married years.

The week after we got married, I was added to a women-only email group to discuss The Family Reunion. It involved what rental properties to secure, menus, who would bring what, how payments would be divided, etc. I was confused and sent it to my husband, who wrote back to the group and asked to be included as the point of contact.

Apparently, before I came on the scene/before we were married, he was just told by his mom (*who is also married-in and not a blood relative of this family*) what the dates were, what food he should bring, and how much he would owe. So like, he was never treated as an adult participant even when he was an adult who was paying his way. And then after he was married, somehow *I* was deemed as a full planning participant, because I have a vagina.

He was told flat-out when he requested to be added as our nuclear family representative that it was a women-only group, and that I would be receiving the emails.

I marked the emails as spam and haven’t seen a single message since. His mom tries telling me details and I tell her to contact her son. [/quote]
