She was honestly confused, though, and asked the girl what she meant. So, it was at that point she learned her brother’s girlfriend thought she was invited and claimed to be beyond excited to join their family on the trip.
Now, she was caught off guard by that and decided to text her brother– asking him if he invited his girlfriend to go, too. Apparently, though, her brother claimed that he did not do that. Instead, he said he only told his girlfriend that he was going to Paris.
So, she decided to respond to her brother’s girlfriend by “politely” texting her that the vacation was for family only. She also claimed she was sure that her brother would bring back a souvenir.
“But, unfortunately, she would not be coming with us,” she told her brother’s girlfriend.
Well, it turned out that her brother’s girlfriend did not take the news well. In fact, she actually flipped out and called her a selfish rich jerk. Then, her brother’s girlfriend claimed to be family and said that she should be treated like so.
Honestly, though, she has only met her brother’s girlfriend twice. So while she acknowledges that they are together, she feels like she really doesn’t know the teen. On top of that, it never even occurred to her to invite her brother’s girlfriend– given how young they are and the fact that they aren’t married.
“In mine and my husband’s family, you would only invite a spouse,” she said.
“And nobody I know would consider someone ‘family’ until they’re married. Even then, you wait to be invited. You don’t invite yourself.”
Regardless of her own opinion, though, her brother’s girlfriend is still really upset. So, she has been left wondering whether not inviting her brother’s girlfriend on the family vacation was a jerky thing to do or not.
Is she required to treat her brother’s girlfriend to a vacation abroad? Can you believe her brother’s girlfriend fliped out? Does it make sense why she didn’t extend an invite in the first place, given how young her brother and his girlfriend are? Or should she have included her brother’s girlfriend on the trip?
