My husband has recently become friends with a group of extremely wealthy businessmen. They are all in their mid to late 40's, including my husband. One of them, the wealthiest, has a private jet and subsidises wild weekends for them about four times a year. Each time, they just drink loads, take drugs, party like they're in their 20s. The one closest to my husband has just dumped his wife and started seeing a much younger woman. The richest one behaves like an arsehole; spoilt, entitled, rude. I'm afraid my husband idolises their financial achievements, envies their lifestyle and is resentful about the fact that he can't throw money around like they can. He comes home from these weekends exhausted, massively hungover/coming down and broke. I earn less than half my husband's salary and I never have enough money to go on wild weekends like this. Having said that, I wouldn't be averse to having some fun, just not with this crowd, they make me sick! I partied heavily when I was younger, I want to do different things now! AIBU to want my husband to limit his trips away, so I can have weekends away doing what I want sometimes, too, even though I don't have wealthy friends to subsidise me?
