A few times when I have been invited for dinner with a couple the husband has stayed in his study and not come out to say hello, or he's been busy in the garden and turned up just in time for the meal, or (this really annoyed me) he has called and said he's not coming home for dinner, he's going to the pub. These were three different couples, so it's not just one rude man.
Is it rude at all though? Or am I being oversensitive? I'm pretty sure if I had a partner with me the husband would make an appearance, even if he didn't know us. It makes me a bit cross.
Just wondering if it's just me, or if it's standard behaviour by couples when a single person is invited over.

Do couples do this to you? And do you care?
