PART-2
Later that night, Eric asked me point-blank what was up with the wedding invite. I didn't have the heart to lie to him, so I told him what I had heard at the barbecue and how Alex still hadn't responded to me. He was upset, obviously, but more than that, he felt singled out, like he had done something to deserve being excluded, and honestly, I didn't have any answers for him. The more I thought about it, the more I started to feel like I was missing something big. Eric wondered if maybe it was because of a disagreement he had with my dad a while back, but that seemed so minor in comparison to what was happening now. None of it made sense. The whole thing was starting to wear on both of us, and I knew I had to confront Alex directly. It wasn't just about the wedding anymore; it was about something bigger, and I needed to know what was really going on before things got even worse.
Update: When I decided to stop waiting around and reached out to Alex directly, I texted her asking if we could meet up. I told her we needed to talk about the wedding and why Eric wasn't invited. After a few hours of no response, she finally got back to me and agreed to meet later in the week. She said she'd bring Luke along too, which I was fine with. I wanted to hear his side of things anyway. After days of waiting, the day of the meeting with Alex and Luke finally arrived. I was nervous, and so was Eric. He wanted to come with me, but I asked him not to. I needed to find out what was going on without his presence, without the emotional weight he would bring to the conversation. I also wanted to avoid making Alex or Luke feel like they were being cornered, which could make them hide even more of the truth.
We met at a café near my parents' house, a neutral place where I hoped things wouldn't spiral out of control. Alex arrived first, and she looked uncomfortable. Luke showed up shortly after, and I could see on his face that he wasn't thrilled about this meeting. I took a sip of my coffee and took a deep breath, trying to stay calm before starting.
"So, Alex, I want to understand what's going on," I began, looking directly at her. "Why wasn't Eric invited to your wedding?" She looked down nervously, stirring her teaspoon. Luke crossed his arms and avoided making eye contact, which only fueled my frustration.
"I don't know how to tell you this," she began hesitantly. "It's not something I wanted to come to this."
"What do you mean come to this?" I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. "We're talking about my husband, the man I've been with for 5 years. Why was he excluded?"
Luke finally spoke, his voice dry and cold. "It's because he's not welcome."
That caught me off guard. I knew something was wrong, but hearing it so bluntly felt like a punch to the gut.
"Not welcome?" I asked in disbelief. "What are you talking about?"
Alex glanced at Luke, almost as if seeking his permission to speak, and that made my blood boil. Was she letting him control her, or was there something even darker happening?
"Eric, he's part of the problem," Alex muttered, still avoiding eye contact.
Luke never liked him, and something things that happened over the last few months just made things worse.
What things I demanded? Eric has never done anything against you; he's always been kind and respectful to our family. I want to know exactly what's going on.
Luke laughed, but it wasn't a friendly laugh; it was sarcastic, almost cruel. "You know, maybe the problem is that you can't see who Eric really is."
That made my anger spike. How dare Luke talk like that about my husband? "What the hell do you mean by that?" I shot back, my words laced with fury.
