Sounds like this didn't happen out of the blue. I think some feelings have been festering, especially for him to blow up. If it was the first time, he'd probably just observe, "Huh?" and shrug it off. Or mention it casually.
When you alk on Monday, just try to make sure he understands you aren't tyringto undermine him. That you value his efforts. you know the "we're all on the same team" speech. But then just give him time to let it sink in. It's his issue to deal with. Try not to harbor bad feelings yourself, though. it'll make it harder for the two of you, to reconcile.
It's so totally the promotion/raise thing. I'd be kind of bitter too but I'm not a child so I wouldn't publicly be a d**k to you in the office. I'd probably just keep my bitterness to myself and put on a happy face. Still, though, that's totally obnoxious and I would be with you in wanting to disinvite but you totally can't, especially since you're inviting the whole office. I work in a tiny dysfunctional office, too (think: The Office) and this is exactly why I'm not inviting anyone from work. Well, that and I don't like anyone I work with...

So, I just had a pretty annoying situation with one of my coworkers. I work in a very small office and invited my coworkers to my wedding (they're like the annoying relatives I never had lol). Or so I thought. Anyway, so we're having this staff meeting with our executive director and one coworker comes out and says he's been really upset at me for this thing that happened 1 week ago that I had no idea had even happened!
Basically, I was supposed to speak at a community event, and one of the event organizers called me. I was not in the office, so they gave the info to the coworker in question who is also working on organizing that event. When I came back into the office, my coworker gave me the information for the event, the details of what I was supposed to talk about, etc. Well, I called the event organizer back just to make sure there was nothing that I was missing. And THIS was apparently a really horrible, offensive thing to do!! Coworker started accusing me (in front of my bosses mind you) that I was taking over his projects, that I didn't respect him or his work, and that me calling the event organizer showed that I did not value what he (coworker) was doing. Ummm... WTF?? I was just stunned.
Later in the meeting my other coworkers made him feel bad about being such a jerk and he apologized in front of everyone but still, it was totally out of line. After the meeting I was all like "uh... we need to talk" to him but he had to run off to another meeting so we're set to talk about these "issues" on Monday.
I think part of the problem is that I got a promotion and a raise recently but nobody else did, even though they have all been working hard too. I only got the promotion because I asked for it and the promotion was there for the taking, just the others were too lazy or didn't want to ask for it.
I wish I could disinvite him to the wedding now but obviously I can't. Plus now we have this weird, awkward work environment... Ughhh.....
