Yeah why? I’ve earned more then 10 to 20x what my partner earns per year. She also takes care of the house, does the majority of the cooking, takes care of most of the bill paying, sets up my doctors appointments. With the hours I work she is indispensable to me. Plus, she also raised the kids when I was in school and in training and never home. She has earned and still more than earns her cut. Every relationship is different, but just because you earn more means nothing.

I'm 99% sure this was just an oversight. I've had parties where I thought I invited everyone but then, when they weren't there, I called them and said, "Hey, man, where WERE you?" only to find out they had no idea there even was party.
Guest lists are made up in our heads. You were having relationship problems and never engaged regarding the wedding. She might have thought you were hoping NOT to have to go. Therefore, when the wedding guest list was made, her head made no connection to you.
Oversight. (Or she thinks you're the on that keeps eating her lunch out of the break room refrigerator.)Buy her a wedding gift. Give it to her, congratulate her, and tell her it's ok that you didn't get invited. She will either explain or you will be the better person of the situation, either way, you get closure.

Having been on the receiving side of being called out publicly, do this. Maybe do it gently and without malice, since the person may not realize that they're actually one-upping you with what they're saying. If they're anything like me they'll be a bit embarrassed, apologize, and try to correct their behavior going forward.

I use oxyclean max force foam laundry and Palmolive soap. I cover the area in the foam and add a very small amount of soap, then use a toothbrush to scrub the area aggressively. If it's a big stain or older stain, I'll repeat the process 2 or 3 times before washing it. Gets the grease stains out all the time.
