It's my 40th next month, gah.
The weekend before it is a long weekend with the DC off school Thur, Fri and Mon, so I thought it would be nice to go away as a family for a lovely celebratory truffles-on-the-pillow weekend in a cottage - now booked. The following Friday after we come back is my actual birthday, and I'd tentatively planned to go out for a nice drunken meal with my 4 or 5 closest pals that evening. When I mentioned this to DP, though, he got really withdrawn, not sulky but just kind of sad, and when I questioned him he said he was really hurt that I'd decided to go out with friends instead of him, or him and DC, on my bday itself
AIBU? I feel awful that I've made him feel bad but think he's being kind of unreasonable himself, no? (please?! ) Thing is, he doesn't really have good friends like I do, just acquaintances from school etc who he doesn't really see much.
I'd actually thought, before I even mentioned dinner with my mates to him, that he could take the afternoon off work on my bday and we could go for a lovely lunch together with DD2 (aged 2, the others will be at school), but he seems to think this is me backtracking a bit ...
Whaddya all think?
