I am 31f and gf is 24, both bi although I now identify more as lesbian.
We both have close groups of female friends who are straight. My friends have accepted her and are like family - we are treated as part of the group and although she is shy she has become close to them.
Her friends are all her age and make me feel so old! I struggle to find things in common to talk about but I try because she's been friends with them all through school and I know how important they are to her. They all get together regularly and of course I don't go because other partners don't. When gf gets home she often seems upset that she feels she doesn't feel close to them any more but wants to be.
Today we were invited for a Christening (baby of one of the friends). I was invited too along with our daughter. The whole friendship group had chairs around a table for them and their partners, apart from us. We ended up sitting in a far corner so that if my gf wanted to talk to her friends she would need to leave us by ourselves (not knowing anyone else). I was bored out of my mind and she was upset at the way her friends are treating me. I don't think it's malicious but I don't know what to do. These friends are important to her but they aren't treating her well.
