[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, that was rude of them but it' sounds like it's better if you don't go. [/quote]

Obviously I won't. But it was going to be a breath of fresh air after a long while of loneliness, and I was looking forward to it.[/quote]

Maybe make friends with others? It’s hard to rely on your husband’s direct reports for social interaction because that’s not a level playing field. [/quote]

Easier said than done if she has moved around for the marriage and not working due to children …[/quote]

I think most of us get that, PP.  Most of us also get how extremely messy it could get to be besties with someone your spouse supervises or to be part of a clique whose spouses all report to your husband.  The relationships aren’t equal, no matter how much you might want them to be. This event that the OP wants to go to isn’t even neutral, like an on-base bowling league or crafts group. If I understand this correctly,  it’s completely comprised of people who report to her husband and their families.

Imagine every problematic friendship you or your kids have ever had. Then add: Plus, her husband/ their dad is your boss. Cordially friendly stuff is great. Relationships that go beyond that might end up at best stressful for everyone involved.
