Dear Abby: My then-boyfriend didn’t invite me to his daughter’s wedding

A woman says her boyfriend of 16 months ended their relationship after she learnt at dinner that he did not expect to invite her to his daughter’s wedding. Dear Abby says she could have asked him to explain his decision, but describes his subsequent behaviour as controlling and insensitive and advises her to move on.

The letter writer says she was hurt that he had not discussed the wedding invitation with her, particularly after learning that his golfing friend had been invited despite never meeting the daughter. In a second letter, a host asks whether to include single friends at a dinner arranged for the group to meet one another’s husbands; Abby says they should all be invited, with singles free to bring a date or come alone.
