DH double booking Christmas arrangements

I am being deliberately vague about the details.

DH and I have plans with my family in mid December (Plan A). DH has now made arrangements with a friend of his (Plan B) which clash. Its not a total clash, but its highly likely that Plan A will be impacted in some way by Plan B. I have asked DH to find another date to see his friend and he said he would try.

But if he can't find another date, and my family plans end up being impacted, am I within my rights to decline to attend an arrangement with his family, the following week?

So he's going out for a drink, the night before you go and see your parents then.

You can do what you want I suppose if you like being in a tit for tat relationship. Does he see his friend a lot?

This is why I literally tie my partner down in November, get the calendar out and we agree dates of seeing family, friends, getting tree etc so there's no clashes! He hates doing it but I'd had enough of going to things alone as he'd double booked.

I think you need to explain what the plans are. Also, do you want to see his family?

I don't see how that would help.
