Of course you go. A grudge will hurt you as much as him. Think of the money he stole as a 50th wedding anniversary present.
My brother died after a 15 year battle with cancer in June 2007. How can I replace him?
You will regret if you stay away!!!

You obviously cared a great deal for your brother at one time or you would not have gone into business with him. And, clearly you still have feelings for him or you wouldn't even be considering going to the party. What your brother did was very wrong, but families forgive each other.
So, use this party as an opportunity to show you forgive him and move on. You never regret forgiveness. The day may come for you when your brother is no longer with us, and you will be very grateful that you rekindled your friendship.

Yes I would, and here's why...
If he's been married 50 years, then chances are he's getting "up there" in the age department. If he were to die the day after would you want to live with the fact that you never made up with him? Yeah he obviously wronged you in a pretty severe way, but that was probably a long time ago.
My great-grandmother's family was ALWAYS feuding amongst themselves. They'd get mad about something or another and not speak to their brother or sister for years...usually they'd just show up at their funeral and ball their eyes out, wondering why they never forgave the person in the casket. Is that what you want to happen with your brother?
Just go. You don't have to be super nice to him, you don't even have to speak with him. Just show up--you're much more likely to regret not going than showing up.
Good luck!

wow. that is a really tough decision and in the end it is really up to you to decide if you are capable of going. Do you forgive your brother for what he has done, or do you still hate him for it? Have you two made up, or would your going me a complete shock?
Before deciding i suggest you analyze your current feelings towards your brother. I know this sounds stupid, but now may be a time to decide just how much you want him to be in your life. This would not be an easy thing to overcome, so people could probably understand why you wouldn't go. Don't do anything that you feel uncomfortable with. If you do go, you should walk in completely confident!
hope this helps. and good luck!

Depends on how much money was stolen, how long ago and whether or not it was settled.
Also if he asked you to go, it shows that he wants to patch things up.
If everyone was just talking about it and no true invitation was shown then he's probably cowaring about the issue.
Resolve the issue first, or talk and agree together to leave it unresolved and not go. Or if it is fixed then go and have a great time.
This could be the opportunity to right the wrongs.

I would not.
My grandfather owned a business with his best friend, and his friend completely drained the company assets to tear down his $7 million home, and build a $20 million home. To this day my grandfather is still his best friend, he visited him every week while he was in prision, and he threw a huge party for him when he was paroled.
How freaking messed up is that.

I might--because blood is thicker than water. But I might consider discussing the alleged theft first. And then tell him the stolen money was in lieu of an anniversary gift.

In that case an event like this would be a good time to show him it's all in the past - just your presence there will mean a lot to him, and might give you a chance to finally start working past that

Are you harboring bitterness about that act? Was it long ago or recent? I would have to say if his feelings would be hurt if you didn't go, then go. If you think you would regret going, don't go. If you would regret not going, then go. If you honestly feel that bad events would come from this encounter then I would not go. You always have the option of leaving in a polite manner.
Good luck to you.

it depends if the relationship between the two is awkward or strong. if you lost complete trust of him, no. if you feel that this was a one time thing then yes. it depends. just remember that you guys are brothers first and business partners second. good luck.
