My dm died last Thursday night, she had been in hospital for four weeks with a cancer related complication, which she recovered from but suddenly deteriorated from an infection.
It felt sudden and unexpected.
Meanwhile, my DH has been planning a two night trip for an outdoor hobby for weeks, weather dependent.
He asked me last night if it would be ok to go this Friday and Saturday night as the weather looked good for it.
He did say that if I didn't want him to he would understand.
In the moment I was shocked he was asking me and it felt like I was going to be unreasonable to say no, because obviously he must have thought it was reasonable, why else would he even be asking??
So at first I said I'd be fine. But I wasn't really, which I told him later and he is now staying.
But now I feel bad he's not going and also annoyed that he even asked and put it on me.
For context with my mother:
When I was younger I had a complicated and difficult relationship with her, I moved away from my home country to the UK over 25 years ago.
I last visited my dm 18 months ago, but subsequently became disabled and unable to fly so wasn't able to visit her recently.
We've had periods of low contact due to her actions and I've said for years that if I lived nearby we would have been estranged years ago.
However in the last few years since her cancer diagnosis we've been the closest we've probably ever been, phone calls 2-3 times a week or more.
So my DH knows it's not a straightforward close relationship eg like I have with my own dd, but she was still my mum, I loved her, miss her and am grieving.
Aibu for being annoyed he even asked? Aibu for telling him I didn't want him to go so soon?
Also how can I stop feeling annoyed and responsible for him not going at the same time.
