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 left out, especially after two years together. Funerals can be sensitive events, and sometimes people prefer to manage family matters alone. Communication is key; expressing your feelings and desire to be included in family events can help strengthen your bond.

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!

It's understandable to feel a bit left out, especially when it's family. It’s common for partners to attend alone for family events, but communication is key. It might help to talk to him about how you feel!
