Oh wow. Like, do you think they'd start whispering behind your back if you went saying, "I can't believe he came too!" Well, at least they will now whisper behind your back because you decided to not go to a party with your wife and play Sekiro instead. I'm sure whatever "quiet" remarks they have about you is going to intensify. Like, how do you expect your relationship with your wife's friends to improve? Do you ever want to be name dropped by them?
Why not be friends with them? Your wife is. That's a bit strange you have this huge hangup about trying to be friends with them because they think you're quiet and they didn't send you an invite to their party. Like, If I invited someone to a party and their partner didn't come because they didn't get an explicit invite, I'd probably think the person's weird. You are coming at this situation entirely wrong and it won't make you look good.Who said anything about improving relationships? My goal here is not to be friends with these people. Especially if they don't care to do such an easy thing as to invite me somewhere. So they think I'm quiet or whatever, they already thought that. They don't care for me, I don't care for them. Nothing of value was lost.
It's worth noting I am already friends with many of my wife's coworkers. Just not these ones.
Like how hard is it to put a little effort into this? It's not. If I'm not worth minimal effort, what the hell is the point of me showing up when I'm neutral to these people to begin with.
partner is one word.
.If you don't want someone's SO at your party, you have to explicitly say it. Everyone's SO is implicitly invited.
If they didn't invite you then it's pretty safe to assume that you are not invited. I wouldn't go either even if it was the case that it's implied.

This made me chuckleYou're married so it's implied. Sekiro will be more fun though, so good choice on your part.
I agree with this.If you don't want someone's SO at your party, you have to explicitly say it. Everyone's SO is implicitly invited.
SO is better than partner, partner has multiple meaningspartner is one word.
Significant other sounds like an over elaborated made up term.

I would feel like a total dick if I told my wife to go to a party alone when other couples will be there. If she was invited and is of the assumption that you are also invited then that is all the invitation one needs. Why you think you'd get a personal invite is beyond me

Exactly this.
If the SO isn't invited, it will be explicitly made clear, like with a women-only baby shower or a guys night out or something like that.
Depends on if there's a mode of communication with the other SO's (such as Facebook or evite) that they have in common but the OP doesn't.So why were other SO's explicitly invited. I'm not buying the "They're friends excuse" even less of reason to explicitly invite them because they know they're welcome.

yep.SO is better than partner, partner has multiple meanings
Significant other can only mean one thing.

Almost certainly implied.
Why do you keep finding things "rude"? Like, are you actually quiet? That's not a rude observation
