Yesterday my husband (m38) went to a guys diaper shower at a local bar for a couple in our social group. Several hours go by and I (f38) see on social media that all the wives and girlfriends have shown up to the bar. Then I find out that they all had gotten together earlier in the day for a girls day while the guys were at the bar. No one thought of including me. When my husband got home I asked him if anyone asked where I was or about me, and he said no. Feeling rejected, and not sure how to move forward with this group.

Like a baby shower but only diapers are gifted. Usually a very casual open house style event celebrating an upcoming birth.

It sounds as if it's more his social group than yours. Were the men friends of his before you got married? Have you ever done anything social with any of the wives or girlfriends outside of a group activity?

From your brief description, your husband doesn't sound as if he's tuned into your feelings of rejection either. That's where you start ... talking with him.

Is it possible that the women getting together was a last minute, spur of moment thing and you were just accidently overlooked?

Why didn't your husband call you to join everyone at the bar when he noticed that everyone else's wife or GF showed up? I would definitely ask him about that.

Diaper showers are becoming popular with the guys. My brother had them when his wife was pregnant.

The people in the social group are all original my friends. He didn't know any of them prior to us meeting.

My husband did let me know they showed up, by this time I was busy and unable to join. Even though he did let me know, I still felt hurt of not being asked to join by the women of the group and that none of them bothered to think if me when they saw my husband.

sounds not very nice. Hope they had a good reason for excluding you. Maybe they knew you would be busy?

None of them knew my plans. Got involved in a project in the house after my husband left. He didn't even know about it. Hate the feeling of rejection, especially when there is a unknown reason for it.
