A uni friend of mine is getting married later in the summer - not a massively close friend but an old friend. It's a no kids wedding. As soon as DH found that out he said he would stay home with kids (4 & nearly 2). It's not that far away so we could back home that night meaning getting my mum or his mum to look after the kids wouldn't be impossible but he is refusing to go. He has some fairly strong views re child free weddings (thinks they are bland, anti the wedding spirit, a bit mean/polished) which probably will not go down well here though I kinda agree with them. He's not cross the kids can't go, just says that he's not bothered about going to my friends thing enough to leave kids (he's a very attentive parent, prob as he's the main career). He says he has nothing in common with many of the guests - this is kinda true, this friend & some other uni mates who will be there, is now quite a corporate uber successful type which isn't DH at all and not me either if I'm honest. But he does get on v well with a few of my other mates who will be going. He's unmovable and thinks it's unreasonable of me to be at all pissed off. I just really don't want to go on my own and have to make excuses for him - he's shy'd away from a few similar things as recently he's decided to not bother doing things which he doesn't enjoy if he can. I do get it, which I had the same 'fuck it' attitude sometimes, but am annoyed all the same. Do I have a right to be? Thinking of not going myself as I just not looking forward to going alone when all around me are there with there partners, it feels like a chore now, would rather be with the family!
