Please can you give me some perspective as I'm
not sure if I’m being unreasonable.
Partner receives a fb 50th birthday invite a few months ago from an old school friend and mentions it, I say oh that’s great. Nothing more said until yesterday when we both get invited to a casual birthday tea and I answer for the both of us along the lines of , not sure yet, busy with ongoing extension project and need to get on with it with dry weather so will let you know.
Partner brings it up later that day, and I say oh yes, I haven’t said no - and he says, oh but I’m at the 50th. He says he totally forgot about it, got a reminder and now they (bunch of old mates) are on at him to go. I can’t get a babysitter at such short notice so I can’t go , haven’t got a dress etc.
I asked him to read me the invite - it sounds bloomin ace, 3pm start at a lovely location, DJ etc. Will be a very late night and full of couples, old friends.
Am I being unreasonable expecting him
not to go? He will be moody all weekend but I find it really unfair that if I don’t organise babysitters etc, we never get to go out as a couple.
Live together and have primary school kids.
