Husband is unhappy if I invite my friends

but happily invites his friends over.

If I say my friends are coming over, all the talk about how we have more important things to do, how we can’t afford to waste time, how we need to spend quality time with kids - all this comes up.
But the week after, his friends are coming for tea, and staying for dinner.

I don’t understand how someone doesn’t realise how nasty they are!

I don’t particularly like some of his friends either!! Also, most of the hosting is on me. Arranging food etc, plus making sure the house is presentable! When I put in all that effort, he can just smile and put up with my friends!?

So what? They’re not his friends, he doesn’t have to like them. Maybe she doesn’t like his friends?

God no. But if he has to spend time with them and he thinks they are insufferable wankers, I’d make excuses too! (Actually I’d just say but…)

Well. Maybe he doesn’t like them?

Do exactly the same to him then ask him how he likes it. Wanker.
