    Ouch.  If they have been a couple for several years, then unfortunately you really are obligated to invite both of them or neither of them.  Is not inviting your boss an option?  Obviously if you do decide to invite him and not her, he will ask why and you will have to come up with an answer.  Being honest may not be your best move since he is your boss, but exactly what excuse could you come up with?  It sounds like a terrible spot to be in and I certainly don't envy you this one.

    They're a package deal.  If you invite him, you have to invite her.  But, that begs the question - why invite him?  Many people don't invite their boss.  It's not required.

    I have to/want to invite him but I'm just really hoping the issue wont come up since her and I don't talk. Plus my FH cannot stand her. I'm inviting his mother who also works for the company and it would look really bad if I didn't invite him.

    Then, sorry, but you need to suck it up and invite the girlfriend too.  Disliking her isn't enough of a reason to snub HIM and exclude his girlfriend.  How bad would it be if he were offended?

    Since not inviting him is apparently not an option, then unfortunately yes she must be invited as well.  And as much as you may hope the issue won't come up, I can assure you that it will.  Maybe not soon, but eventually he will bring it up.  And there really isn't anything you can say in that situation that won't irritate him.  Think about how you would feel if someone invited your FI to a wedding but excluded you because they didn't like you.

    I still don't understand why people delete their posts.
