This is what I was thinking as well. ^^^

If this is not the case, then you seriously need to reevaluate your friendship with this group of women.

I do hope this is the reason, but to think they still didn't think of me once they saw my husband seems off.

This is even more puzzling that they treated you this way since they were all ORIGINALLY YOUR friends.

You have a legit right to be mad. This isn't the first event this group has had get-togethers, right? They've invited you all along, I assume, right? So what happened THIS time? Did you get into an argument w/ anyone in the group, etc.?

Anyway, sit back & see if they invite you to the next one & if they don't, you AND your husband both need to be done w/ this backstabbing, two-faced, disloyal group!

Your husband better not go anymore as well to any more because a husband's SUPPOSED to be in his wife's corner 200%, so if they don't invite you next time, he should feel just as strongly about not wanting any part of them either. If he still has the nerve to go & actually leave you, that's f'ed up & your husband's just as bad as the rest of them. In fact, I'd start to wonder if he actually likes one of the ladies in the group & doesn't want you around while he's there flirting up a storm.

This is so spot on ^^^^^ But why does your husband have to tell them . You need to get tough and confront your husband and let him know that you did not appreciate his being disloyal and he should have left when he found out that you were not there and did not attend the girls thing . Your husband sounds like a jackass and you are tolerating it . Grow a spine and put your foot down and demand some respect and loyality from that so called husband of yours .

I said that it sounded more like his social group because in the original post, she said the women showed up later at "a guys diaper shower at a bar." You know, a GUY thing, like a bachelor party.

We still don't know whether the other women just decided to go later or there was some plan in place for them to show up and the OP was deliberately or inadvertently left out.

We also don't know if the OP adequately expressed to her husband how hurt she is by this apparent slight. She asked if the women asked after her and he said, "No." Man of few words or leaving out additional input because he hasn't recognized it's a big deal to her? Did she convey that to him or just come here to tell us?

He could have gotten off the phone with her and yelled, "She's busy!" and the others might have waved and raised a beer in his direction – and all of this conjecture about rejection and terrible friends and a rotten husband is ... conjecture.

No reason to get out the damn pitchforks just yet.

It's the generation, I think. Gender reveal parties are also a huge event now for many people of parenting age. I would say older millennials and some Gen Xers. Personally I hope these trends die out, but that's just me.

Why? Is there something inherently wrong with this? Not trying to start anything, just looking for clarification, as I don't understand why this is bad for men to do. All of the men that were at the diaper shower are lovely people with good jobs and take care of their families. The age group of those there were 33-52

I guess some people still think diapers are only women's business. Old fashioned ideas of gender roles are still clung to by some.

You do have points I will reflect on, but respect should never be demanded though. Respect is something that is mutual upon two people. I dont ever want to be get something from husband because I demand it, I much rather have it cause he loves me. This also goes both ways in a marriage.
