FFS DP!! (Lighthearted rant)

Lighthearted rant here because I can't in real life, he didn't do it on purpose.

DP is going abroad next week to visit family then meeting me in London on the way back. We spent ages looking at flights and found a flight that arrives in LGW almost the same time as mine (I also have to fly in). Brilliant, my Brother is picking us up & all being well we'll get to theirs just in time for supper & a nightcap. Perfect.

Stepped back and let him book all his flights as I have a tendency to take control but then get frustrated that I 'have to' do all the adulty stuff when he's a perfectly capable grown man.

He's just sorting his 2 day test, I glanced at his flight confirmation, and he's booked a flight back to LHR instead of the one to LGW Hmm

Sortable, but at great expense. It's not the first time he's made a silly and expensive mistake due to lack of proper attention - I might just be a bit sensitive as I work in travel and triple check EVERYTHING but RAARRRRRRRRRRRR.

I love him to bits and he's an absolute diamond but sometimes I just want to wobble his head!

Cheer me with tales of your DP/DH's silliness?

Just ask him "DH, why did you book your return flight to an airport that I'm not going to be at and neither is my brother so that we can be collected together?"

That to me isn't a silliness, it's a lack of attention to detail and that annoys me and isn't cute or endearing.

Bit of a drip feed but at time of booking the flights he was under some stress (His reason for travel is a sad family situation) so this time I've let him off, and today I've completely recovered from my ranty mood!

Next time though.... Hmm
