Uni Convocation Date

Recommended Posts

I've been with my boyfriend for about six months. I am graduating from my second degree. My banquet grad is coming up and dinner tickets are fairly expensive. For the last four months, Ive been under the impression that i wasn't even going because of price. My mother decided to pay for my ticket and said she would also pay for my sister to attend with me.

 

I think my mother is under the impression that my relationship isn't forever and would rather fork out the money for my sister to go with me. -- thats a whole other issue.

 

However, my boyfriend is going back home next month and cannot attend my grad ceremony as he will be attending his brothers grad (his parents will be paying for his travel expenses). He's been aware of my grad since i met him, and never mentioned not coming. Last weekend was the first mention of it, and he will be extending his visit at home for a week or two. I'm feeling a little rejected by that.

 

so my question is... is it wrong to attend my grad alone, or with my sister?

I attended everything I ever graduated from alone (unless I was dating somebody in the class) My parents may have watched the ceremony but that's it.

 

No I don't think it's odd for you to attend alone.

 

However, if you expect your BF to attend, you need to buy him a ticket because this is your event. It would be quite rude, imo, for you to expect him to pay to celebrate your accomplishment.
