Anyway, back to my rant. Husband gets invitation to event that many people will be at and never asks if he can bring a +1! DH got invited last week (so relatively) last minute & didn't realize what the gala was until we got the email invitation yesterday. When I saw that it was a gala, I got mad at him. Event sponsor has 10 tables, just f#cking ask if you can bring someone, if not FINE! But just ask.

I love DH. He is brilliant but so absent-minded sometimes! He said he didn't think to ask & I know he didn't, there was nothing malicious. Not the first time either he has done this before but again just bc he didn't know any better. Even once forgot he drove to work & took the train home, next morning thought the car was stolen. Seriously! But he is truly a good hearted, brilliant man. Just not very good socially & does the dumbest things sometimes.

Sorry my rant was so long, guess I'm so annoyed and would have loved to go


Seriously, get your own job and invites to important galas. And BTW-you will soon learn that the event-charity, gala world in DC is VERY small. You likely just outed yourself and your DH.

You can't necessarily believe that an anonymous commenter knows you, of course. Nor can the anonymous commenters necessarily believe that you are telling the truth.

That said, if you're being straight and your DH really is "highly influential," and you're new in town and you are from a place that not many people are from...then for people who watch that sort of thing, your DH is probably pretty easy to identify.

DC is kind of like a small town that way. The "highly influential" people all know of each other, even if they don't know know each other. That's kind of how influence works.

Folks who commented about your identity may sound like they're being short with you, but they're legitimately trying to help.

OP here, to the poster who may know me, if only haha! I seriously don't know anyone in the DC area, not even my neighbors. Been too occupied to meet people, hopefully it will change once the exams are finished. But if you are one of my girlfriends from ny, then hi

For the other posted who mentioned a sexless marriage in my future, DH & I have been married for quite some time. By your account it would have happened by now, but thankfully no. Sex is just fine.
Have a great night posters!

Yes, exactly because every woman who complains about her husband is in a sexless marriage **rolling eyes**
I swear this forum is full of the most obnoxious, self-righteous bitches.

My dh is the opposite, after all these years he's over the events, you can't pay him enough to be my date at the fancy ballroom party or company events at nice restaurants!

NP, Dont understand, what details is she giving? Her DH is going to a black tie event and she is from a different country trying to do USMLE. Does that make her identifiable? Or do you already know her?

OP, I hear you, but believe me those things are almost always deathly boring! Ask him to take you to a nice dinner at a hot restaurant instead, much more fun.

If they wanted him to bring his wife, they would have asked him to. It would be have been really rude (and a bad career move) for him to have asked that. Your DH is correct on this one.
