DH told me not to make plans so I didn’t then he did and wondered why I was annoyed

I’m not sure why you’re sounding so excited. Rest is very important for many before the start of another hectic week. I would personally not be pleased at having guests on a Sunday evening - particularly ones who overstay their welcome. In any case, you need to calm down in your responses. It’s weird to get so jumpy because of a difference in opinion.

YANBU, OP, and I'd ignore the people looking for a fight. It's not boring or unreasonable or any cause to feel sorry for OP's husband that she didn't want friends stopping by (or making a special trip to visit) when they'd already mutually agreed to have a quiet night alone. OP's husband (or their friends, or both) kept changing the parameters of the visit. It's no wonder she was annoyed.

There's nothing wrong with preferring TV to friends, every once in a while (or even always, depending on the friends).

Yep, Sunday nights are for gearing up for the coming week

Urgh! I'd be annoyed too! No way I'd want to host guests on a Sunday evening. That sounds awful. I'd have been really unhappy if they'd delayed by an hour and half too. Sunday evening is for relaxing and getting everything ready for work/ school next day.

Jesus, OP hasn’t skipped their wedding to watch a rerun of The Weakest Link. She just fancied a night in! And as so many people seem to have forgotten - it was HER PARTNER who cancelled in the end.

I’m so sorry OP, you seem to have found the keyboard warriors today. You may find ‘chat’ and ‘30 days only’ less brutal.

I feel sorry for yours.

Exactly what I was going to say. Jeez

Literacy and comprehension are in very short supply.

Latching onto inane details, attacking the OP, misogynistic derailing of the thread with ridiculous abstract points, interrogation of minutiae, and relentlessly excusing the most awful male behaviour, is the way most threads go these days.

Completely moronic.
Beyond tedious to read.

You'd want to be utterly desperate to open a thread

So much disparagement of the OP, criticising her for watching TV, trying to pretend that's the only way she spends her spare time, feeling so sorry for her sulking DH etc. etc.
There's a pile on like this happening in so many threads and its getting more and more common. And the phrases they come out with seem to have been repeated on other threads, really seems like its co-ordinated. Sadly they are particularly vicious when its an OP who is already vulnerable.

Yeah, I can see that now. I guess I was taking it that it was more an innocent misunderstanding around when the mates were coming. But if he's being an arsehole then she's every right to be annoyed.

I can’t work out whether half the posters on this thread have had a massive comprehension fail or are wilfully ignoring the fact that it was OP’s partner who asked her not to make any plans. He supposedly wanted a chill out day too - it was HIS suggestion.

Why are certain people now desperate to cast OP in the role of the unsociable old meanie who has ruined her partner’s plan for a “drop by any time, the more the merrier” evening? HE is the one who threw a strop and cancelled because OP dared to express frustration at the delay, when she’d never really wanted visitors in the first place!

The OP is fed up because the DH is sulking about it.

Having lied to her about how long they were staying, what time they were coming, etc... yes effectively that was sabotaging (if that's what you want to call it) the Sunday evening she'd planned and was looking forward to after a very busy weekend. He created that expectation when he instructed her to keep the day free.

Maybe your so called friends now feel the same about you 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe I should have said I wouldn’t want to ask for permission not that I would object to informing someone. I understand everyone is different about this kind of thing. I personally wouldn’t want to live with someone that had the attitude that many people on this thread have but they wouldn’t want to live with me either.

Sacred for what?

Everyone has their own idea on what constitutes an ideal evening. The idea of staying home alone watching tv is a very depressing one for many people.

I wasn’t asking because of the OP’s situation, I was asking because of how you said you prefer to handle friends coming round and that you would feel a loss of autonomy in having to inform a partner of your plans. No wrong or right of course, if both people have the same preference that must work.
We are very friendly with a number of neighbours so have friends in and out without notice multiple times a week, but we both appreciate a heads-up even if it’s only 3 minutes in advance.

Sunday Nights are sacred before the start of the working week.

This is why we don't have any friends! 😂

I wouldn’t have wanted them calling in either but I’m sure I’d have got in the swing of it. The silent treatment is a different matter though. That’s a form of bullying

I would be happy with that, mates drop around sometimes. But that’s not what happened anyway. He let her know so she had the option to go upstairs or make sure she wasn’t in her PJs.
