Is this sentence grammatically correct? please help?

Teachers, I worte a sentence. I'm not sure if it's correct.

sentence: I think it's nothing wrong that you didn't go to his party.

Let not consider the context, First,I'd like to know if the sturture of this sentence is correct? Then I wonder if you could offer me some other sentences expressing the same meaning.

Thanks very much for your help.

Grammatically it is OK, but you have a double negative, which should be avoided when possible. "I think there's nothing wrong that you didn't go to his party" or "I don't think there's anything wrong that you didn't go to his party" Both these versions would be a bit better. or "There's nothing wrong (with the fact) that you didn't go to his party" would be pretty good too.

As much as I usually don't like "with the fact that" it really is needed here.The versions that just have the "that" read oddly to me.
yutgoyunThere's nothing wrong (with the fact) that you didn't go to his party
I agree. (Though you may want to add back in the "I think" part.)

Another option: I don't find anyting wrong with your not going to his party.
