And a little miffed with DH for going out?
We have a baby so going out together is a rare occurrence. DH goes out quite frequently but my social life seems to revolve around daytime activities with babies these days. If I go out at night it has to be pre planned a while in advance. Partly because I need DH to be home from work to look after the baby, and partly because most of my friends also have babies or else don't live close enough for spontaneous meet ups.
DH has been saying how much he has been looking forward to this weekend to spend time with me and DS as it's the first weekend in ages where we haven't had anything on. I mentioned watching a film together tonight after DS had gone to bed and I thought he'd agreed.
All day I have been saying to DH that I really fancy going out tonight, that I wish we had a babysitter etc. We don't have anybody so we both knew it was wishful thinking and that we would have to settle for a bottle of wine on the sofa. However, DH's friend then texted him and asked if he fancied going for a pint tonight and DH has gone.
So here I am sat in by myself for the 3rd night this week. I feel a bit miffed at DH because he knew I fancied going out but can't and he has just been able to toddle off at the drop off a hat. It feels a bit insensitive. Plus I'm a bit hurt that he jumped at the chance to go out the moment his mate text him. I could have asked him not to go but what was the point? He obviously preferred the idea of seeing his mate than spending the evening with me.
So AIBU? Prepared to be told I am but I must admit that after being on my own with a baby all day during the week I do really look forward to evenings and weekends when DH is around. So another evening on my own this week does make me feel a bit lonely.
