Would this annoy you?

[Wornout8]

My partner has booked himself in for a non life threatening operation 4 days before Christmas, which is going to result in him being fairly laid up for a few days (we have young children) TIA

What's the operation and what are the implications of him not having it done asap?

Yes

Yes, I'd be pissed

I don't really want to go into detail regarding the op as I don't want to identify myself but it doesn't need to be done asap, isn't life threatening and doesn't cause him pain if it isn't done.

Does it mean he doesn't need to take time off work?

Why does he want to do it now? Is it painful? Annoying? Does it mean he doesn't need to take time off next year?

If this is an NHS operation and they have space to get it done then he should.

If he is paying and could choose another time then maybe not good timing although if you are all off and at home maybe not the worst.

Depends what it's for really

Is it really that much of a unique operation that it will “out” you? Hard to really say without knowing what it is.

If depends what it's for. If it's medical and viaNHS I think you'd have to take whatever date was offered. If it's cosmetic then I wouldn't be impressed with him.
