Dear Amy: Last week, Chloe texted me to say that she has just sent out the invitations and that my very steady boyfriend of several years has not been invited.
It’s a big job and I have done my very best to step up in all of the expected ways. Like other people who have faced this demanding role, it can strain a friendship – but my friendship with “Chloe” has survived just fine.Last week, Chloe texted me to say that she has just sent out the invitations and that “William,” my very steady boyfriend of several years, has not been invited.
Dear Mad: One of the most basic guidelines concerning wedding invitations is that engaged couples, long-time partners, and couples living together should be invited as a couple. My instinct is that this is yet one more sacrifice you are expected to make as her maid of honor. Some honor, right? In my opinion, either way you do have an obligation to carry on with your role in the wedding, but the longer-term friendship might take a real hit.She speaks very often about how difficult her life is without “Bart,” and how perfect their marriage was; she is financially secure and has many friends.I, and all of her friends, listen to her talk about this man and we sympathize with her. I know there is no right timetable for grief.
