Really needing advice on this. My 27f, boyfriend of 2 years who I live with 28m, works in the film industry and is finishing up a movie he has been working on as stage assistant. The movie is premiering soon and he was invited (it’s a massive red carpet event in our city) and he is allowed a plus one, he’s chosen to not invite me as he “wants to go by himself as he’s worked on this movie for 6 years and wants to go alone”. This is the second big work thing he has said he wants to go alone to. He’s only invited me to one other party and it went really well, and I’m totally capable of making conversation with others to give him space. I’m pretty offended and hurt that he doesn’t want me there, he just puts it down to wanting to goalone. He doesn’t need to network or anything as it’s a premiere and his contract is finishing. I talked to him about it last night and said I was quite gutted he hasn’t invited me and has glossed over it a bit. I’m also helping me go suit shopping for it, and also helped him shop for the outfit to the last party. And I also feel that I do a lot to help him do his job well, like look after the house and washing etc. He just apologised but gave no more info. We talk about the future a lot and are in a happy and serious relationship so I’m pretty confused. Am I over reacting?
TL;DR! – boyfriend 28m doesn’t want me 27f to go to his red carpet work event with him for no reason other than wanting to go alone even though he is allowed a plus one.
