This happened years ago, but got brought up again ( by me) and my husband doubled down saying I’d been ‘a bit off’.
We were in our late 20s, just moved into a house. Christmas Eve and we had 2 friends (a couple)Coming for a meal and staying for Christmas Day.
i’d prepared a meal for 4. Sea bass fillets, so it wasn’t a one pot that could be shared between more people.
My husband’s friend turned up. The table was laid and food about to be served. So obviously I had to delay serving. Turns out this friend had contacted my husband asking if it was okay to come round - he’d said ‘yes’.
DH thinks we should have ‘accommodated’ him.
To me this is so blatantly wrong, but DH thinks we (meaning me) should have been more inviting!
