Disclaimer: this is more of a question of manners and social etiquette than anything else. I'm not going because I'm playing Sekiro all night anyway. But I am curious.
Here's the situation:
My wife was invited to a party tonight at a coworkers house. I've met them all before but I don't know them super well. We've done a few things socially with some of the folks but I wouldn't consider any my "friends". My wife tells me that most of them think I'm a quiet person, which is true for people I don't know very well, but I find a rude implication.
Anyway, the party is tonight. My wife insists that I'm invited, that it's "implied", however another coworkers significant other was invited explicitly, which gives me pause. I'm not going anyway because I think it's rude to not invite someone and then assume that person would come, if that's what they are doing. Alternative is I'm just not invited period, and then I'm being rude for just showing up uninvited.
Tl;dr Was not invited to my wife's coworkers party. I am of the opinion I'm not invited period. My wife thinks I'm implied invited, which I find somewhat rude if that is the case. Other spouses have been invited explicitly. Which is it?
Thoughts era?
