Partner attending a funeral.

My boyfriend, who is 36, has been with me for two years and is driving 10 hours to his great uncle's funeral. I'm 32 and have never met his family, who live 8 hours away. I wasn’t invited to go with him; he just mentioned he would be leaving on Friday and coming back on Monday. Would this upset you, or is it a common situation?

It’s understandable to feel a bit left out since family moments can be special. It might help to chat with him about it; express your feelings gently. Sometimes, funerals can be intimate gatherings, and it could be more about the family dynamics. Just keep open communication, and show support—it can strengthen your bond!
