Ask Aunty: what's the etiquette when it comes to inviting your friend's partner to a group event?

You have a big group of friends and like to socialise together a lot. You suspect that one of your friend's isn't including her partner in those group occasions, and you don't want them to feel left out.

What should you do?

Every Friday we challenge our guest "Aunties" with a dilemma posed by you — to discuss, unravel, and maybe even help solve for you. Send your dilemma via email on the Life Matters web page. Keep it to 150 words and you can always use another name.

Guests:

Will and Garrett Huxley, Melbourne-based collaborative performance and visual artists, who work together as The Huxleys. 

Bloodlines, at Abbotsford Convent until February 11.
