Rather awkward situation has just arisen about this weekend break I'm going on with 3 old friends - today!! Need some advice urgently cos I'll be seeing them all tonight.
Basically we are 4 friends who meet up once a year for a weekend on the south coast, B&B or self catering. We have all had ups and downs since we met but X in particular has had a really shit time in general, but now happier.
Anyway, I made the arrangements and had a bit of a time finding anything at short notice. Found one lovely place but lost it because X didn't get back to me in time to confirm that she liked it, price was right etc. Finally got somewhere, booked it for 3 night break (2 nights only wasn't on offer). Asked the others last week by email if anyone else was planning to stay over Sun night. 2 replied saying no, no response from X. Assumed she had read email and not answered cos sometimes she doesn't!
Anyway, plan was DP was going to come down on Sun lunchtime or pm, girlies would go home mid-pm, he and I would stay over for romantic Sun night - so he booked the Mon am off work.
Just logged in to my emails to find email from X saying how much she's looking forward to weekend and her internet's not been working so she hasn't read any of her messages til now. But she would love her and her DP to stay over sun night and would that be a problem seeing as there's only one double room?? And describing what a romantic evening she's planned with him staring into each other's eyes over a roaring log fire etc etc but if we're there too it'll mean she'll have to change her plans.. and how they don't get the opportunity to spend time away together much etc etc
Am I being unreasonable to be really pissed off with her? I mean, it would have been different if she'd said ' oh we thought we'd stay over too, don't worry we'll have a twin room since you've already arranged it all'. Instead I feel like she's trying to guilt trip me into letting them have a. the double room and b. possibly the whole place to themselves... plus I was looking forward to staring into MY DPs eyes over a roaring log fire etc!!
Grrr - so AIBU and what should I do about it?
