Asking Eric: Is it petty for bride to deny aunt’s plus one, just because she’s not met him?

Asking Eric: My niece says there’s no room at her wedding for the man I love

I will be the only paternal person attending, while their mother’s side will have more than 20 people — aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.

Asking Eric: How do I tell my new friend that bringing extra people to our meetups rankles?

How do I point out, in a non-judgmental manner, the pattern I'm noticing and how it doesn't work for me?

Asking Eric: Why is my new friend turning every hangout into a group event?

It's annoying. But does she have a right to try and stop it?

Asking Eric: Bride hasn’t met my partner, but I wish she’d be more flexible about including him

I offered to come out to California, so my nieces and their partners could meet my partner. Well, their schedules were too busy for us to find a date.

Asking Eric: Should I skip niece’s wedding over her decision to exclude my partner of 5 years?

I offered to pay for his meals, extra seating, et cetera, but she will not budge.
