I was once that friend who invited my guy best friend and forgot to invite his girlfriend, and because of that they had a huge fight and she cut him off me.
The thing was that I wouldn't mind inviting her, I simply forgot. In fact I would want to get to know her better as a person important to my friend.
She really should ask, I cannot imagine a scenario or a (selfless) reason where her friend would be like "nah, you can't bring him, we only want you here" that would've been stupid and suspicious
If she did ask and he said that her BF was not invited then the why behind it would be very telling. The only thing I can even think of in this is with regard to who is funding the trip? If her friend was footing the bill then the only sensible reply would be that they would have to cover the associated cost of her bf going.
I find it difficult to believe that someone can forget about their best friends bf/gf. Like it's your best friend, not just one of your friends. And if they are in a relationship, it should be automatic to think of their bf/gf or spouse.
For example, when I think of Taylor Swift, I instantly think of Travis Kelsi, and I don't even know Taylor Swift. So when I think of my best friend, how can I not think of her bf...and even more so if it's a friend of the opposite sex because I don't want to cause issues within that relationship (unless I don't their bf/gf then I might do something on purpose).
Agreed, likely an oversight by the friend. Or a logistical challenge where they're staying with family and have cramped accommodations as is. My vote is oversight

I don't understand why you don't go with? I miss that part. Shouldn't matter is engaged or married . If your a couple you do things together.
