Dear Umaz,

i thought my boyfriend would invite me to the funeral. I feel let down because he didn’t even consider it

Have you asked him if you can come along, and he rejected you? Because expressing your desire, your need or preference is key for honest communication.

he left already and it just feels like it’s not a good time to create any issues so I haven’t really said much and asked to drop it. he says he feels really guilty for not inviting me.

Does it mean you’ve expressed your disappointment (though only mildly) once he left, and then he started feeling guilty for not inviting you? Or he brought up the topic himself?
