[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is there to be gained by confronting people that excluded you from events?
Other than looking like sad pathetic losers?[/quote]

These were small events just for family. On a few occasions my husband was the only one of the children not to be invited.
By confrontation I don't mean being rude or demanding. He could have casually asked if we could join them.

They sometimes organize these small events on a weekday. My husband works full time from Monday to Friday so he can't take time off work for family gatherings during the week.  It's usually a lunch at home or out, a celebration or other. The others are either SAHMs, or they have a more flexible timetable.[/quote]

Maybe your husband just doesn’t like these people enough to want to be included. You need to stop wanting to force this. I am not super close with my family. We are “fine” but not close. Every time my husband tries to force more closeness so we are like his family, it does nothing but piss me off.[/quote]
