Read the full story below for all the details.

AITA for not congratulating my BF’s brother on his wedding?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years.

Currently, we’re doing long distance.

Even though it’s been three years, he has never formally introduced me to his family.

Both our families know about us.

This woman was not invited to her boyfriend’s brother’s engagement.

Before doing long distance, his brother and his fiancée came back home to celebrate their engagement.

I was not invited to his engagement.

I have texted his brother a couple of times to wish him for his birthday.

So I thought I’d wish him on his engagement.

Keep in mind, both he and his fiancée never wished me or congratulated me on anything.

She and her boyfriend got into an argument.

Fast forward to being long distance.

My boyfriend moved abroad where his brother and his fiancée lived.

They decided to have their wedding there.

During the wedding week, my boyfriend and I got into an argument about something.

I didn’t feel like talking to him for a few days.

They cooled off, so she didn’t bother to greet his brother on his wedding.

Three to four days after the wedding, we started to cool off.

We started to talk to each other again.

He was mad that I didn’t congratulate his brother and his wife on their wedding.

They have apparently asked why I didn’t when everyone else was.

She felt bad about it.

He said he brushed it off. He said that I was upset because we had an argument.

He also brought up the fact that he texts my brother on special occasions.

I told him that he does, too.

I kind of felt bad about it.

She decided to text his brother’s wife, but received no reply.

So, I did end up texting the wife.

She didn’t reply to my message.

It has been three days.

I don’t really know what to feel about this.

Let’s find out what others have to say about this.

This person expresses their concern.

Short but meaningful.

Solent treatment is the death of an LDR, says this one.

This user makes a valid point.

Yes, indeed.

It’s hard to congratulate people who act like you don’t exist.
