Genuine question as I feel a bit embarassed about this but at the time I was so angry with him.
He has not come on a summer holiday with me and DD for about 6 years now. DD is 9 and for the last few years we've gone on our own. He reckons that holidays are boring, though he will come on skiing holidays with us. As we blow any money we have on a ski holiday I can only afford to take DD camping in the summer, which is fine.
So me and DD went to Devon last week, I'd booked the holiday in Jan and asked him several times to come but he'd always made excuses. It was a 7 hour drive for us but got there OK.
Then on Tuesday the tent broke, I bought a replacement and that broke. I was by now rather hysterical after spending hours trying to fix various tents on my own. I rang him up and told him if he didn't come now I'd divorce him. God knows what he told his boss but he managed to get the next 3 days off work and drove all the way to Devon, arriving at 3:00am.
By the time he got here someone had put the tent up for me and I had calmed down enough to think maybe I'd over reacted. But my mobile had died and I'd forgotten the charger so I couldn't ring him to tell him not to bother. I do feel bad he drove all that way but at the same time I feel he shouldn't have put me in that position.

AIBU?
Was I being unreasonable to tell my DH if he didn't come on holiday I'd divorce him?
