[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry OP. The military can be cruel to spouses snd children. Your husband's career may be in jeopardy because his underlings obviously think he is a doormat. I have never heard of an officer in charge taking a shift so underlings can celebrate and the underlings in question are complete jerks in return. Usually you would attend and everyone would talk about how awesome your DH is. This isn't normal and I hope your DH gets a new assignment soon and you PCS far away from these people. [/quote]

Yeah these people have no respect for your DH. Is your DH’s career doing ok?[/quote]

I guess? [b]He just got promoted and took this position. The fill-in thing is because his predecessor used to do the same, and he hasn't found a way to rightly end it. [/b]That's all.[/quote]

So Op's DH is new to the position. His predecessor never attended the party. Let's assume, then, predecessor's family never did either. People like it when the boss isn't there, and there was worry when it suddenly seemed that DH, OP, and family would attend the party. Forcing DH out was easy, because tradition, but then they wanted to be sure OP and kids wouldn't attend either. Hence the somewhat rude disinvite.

OP, I'm sorry you are lonely. But it's very possible that, given your DH's position, they never expected you to attend the party, and once they found out you were planning to attend, they figured out how to explicitly uninvite you. That's rude and it sucks, but if that's the case it's because of your DH's position as boss. I say this as someone who once watched my entire 10 person staff attempt to all casually and silently leave for lunch at the same time without me noticing because they were going to celebrate something and didn't want me there. I was hurt and annoyed, but I understood. Hopefully you can make some other social connections.[/quote]

I guess this is the only reasonable explanation. Still harsh![/quote]
