I have a high school reunion comming up. Not realy sure whether I'm going for not but the thought had crossed my mind whether I would bring my girlfriend or not.
Personally I'm thinking I would not like to bring her. Before someone makes the comment no I don't want to hook up with an old fling or anything like that more I just think she will be bored, it's kind of an awkward and nervious night so don't want to be responsible for someone else having fun as well. Want to be able to work the room takl to people catch up and maybe do some networking without having to drag someone along introducing them and explaining any inside jokes and things like that.
Just curiuos if you would be offended and or jealour or happy that you don't have to go to reunion.
DH is going to a reunion and I'm not going. He did however ask if I would mind dropping him off and picking up so that everyone could see his hot wife.
Flattery gets him everything - he'll have much more fun catching up with all his old friends if he doesn't have to worry about me being bored and I get to feel like he's proud of me and not trying to hide me.

What sweet guys.
Seriously, it works for both men and women. I think SOs who didn't grow up together should not be dragged to each others' HS reunions. I was so miserable and missed talking with my old friends because my then husband insisted on joining me. What did he think I was planning on doing? I had 2 children and was still nursing the 2nd one. As it was, we had to leave early so I could get back but I spent more time keeping him entertained than I did renewing friendships. What a PIB.
If I had a high school reunion coming up, I would invite my boyfriend. He can mix and mingle in any group and if I ran off to a corner to chit chat with some old pals, it wouldn't be a problem. He's versatile and it wouldn't bother him. I go places with him where I might not know the people but by the end of the event, we're all talking like good friends. Perhaps it depends on the type of relationship you have with your partner.
That's really a personal decision for you and your girlfriend. As a wife, I'd be hurt if he didn't want me to go with him. We're from the same high school class anyway, so if he's going so am I. My husband wouldn't think I was in the way at a reunion (wedding, company picnic, etc.), but I do give him his space when he wants to go do stuff with friends (poker night, fishing, etc.). Neither of us wanted to go to our 20-year reunion this summer, but when there are events where people go as couples, we go as a couple. I am capable of smiling and talking to strangers for a few hours.
Well, considering in my situation, our reunions is the SAME, I'd be well offended. haha but otherwise, no. And I might add we met at our 25th reunion..
