His Girlfriend’s Angry She Wasn’t Invited To A Celebratory Dinner With His Parents And Friends
Ever since this 26-year-old guy was a teenager, he has been volunteering with a local community outreach organization. This year, the organization also sponsored one of his town’s festivals.
“I was really excited and nervous about this because I was helping organize and run our booth and speak to raise awareness about what we do,” he recalled.
During the festival, he was also one of two people chosen to speak on stage about the organization’s mission. So, the impending public speaking made him even more nervous on top of his other responsibilities.
Given his large role in the festival, though, and the fact that it was free admission, he decided to ask some of his friends and family to attend for support.
“Especially the way I was going to be speaking and to please just give feedback about how we all did,” he added.
However, about two weeks ago, his 27-year-old girlfriend sadly had to put her cat down. And ever since losing her beloved pet, she has been really depressed.
That’s why he’s been trying to do everything he can to be there for his girlfriend on top of preparing for the festival. He also asked if she would stop by the festival for a little while on one of the days, and she claimed that she would try.
Yet, unfortunately, his girlfriend never showed up for any of the three days of the festival. She also reportedly claimed that she just wasn’t ready to be around a bunch of people.
Still, his parents and some friends did attend, and he really appreciated their support. After the festival, his parents even offered to take him, his friends, and another person working the booth out to dinner for a congratulatory meal.

He was really excited about that, too, and agreed to go. But he didn’t invite his girlfriend to tag along.
“I didn’t invite her since she had said she wasn’t up for being around people, and my parents had only mentioned those they saw at the festival any of the days,” he reasoned.
So, he went out to dinner without thinking of inviting her. While he was eating with everyone, his girlfriend also sent him a text and asked if he wanted to pick up dinner to eat at her place.
It was at that point that he revealed he was already eating out with his parents and the rest of the group. And his girlfriend wound up getting really angry that she wasn’t asked to join.
He claimed that he did offer to bring his girlfriend back some food from the restaurant. He also tried to explain how his parents had only invited people from the festival.
“But she’s still mad at me and says I should’ve invited her by default,” he vented.
That’s why he’s now wondering whether not inviting his girlfriend to the celebratory dinner really made him a jerk or not.
Didn’t his girlfriend tell him outright that she wasn’t ready to be around people yet? Does it sound like he went out of his way not to invite his girlfriend, or was he just trying to respect his wishes?
