WWYD - would you go to the show on your own tonight?

[CoCoaButter85]

Long story short - h got sick (not on purpose obviously but he could have prevented it if was more careful) and can't go to the show tonight (dinner+entertainment). I booked it mainly for him and it was ~£100 for both of us. Not too much, but certainly enough to be annoyed about it.

Do I go on my own and try to enjoy it? Or Do I stay at home and catch up with work and have some decent sleep?

I asked around couple of friends, no response yet but unlikely given the notice.

I'm pissed off with H. It's not the first time this is happening.

Call the venue and see if they’ll change the tickets?

Otherwise I would go.

Your pissed off he is ill?

if it’s something you would enjoy go, if not stay home.

@MichaelBurnhamFan - will give them a ring now. Doubt they will repay but worth a try

@Sirzy - I am. He knew I was looking forward for a night out and he could have prevented it (took his medication on time and paced himself better yesterday night when he was out with his friends). Also the fact it's not the first time. Last couple of years when we were in holidays he did the same.

Trying to contact the venue in case possible to reschedule. Tried all possible channels and no luck so far

It's not my thing but I guess I would enjoy. It wouldn't be wasted time. (I could catch up on work things other nights)

I might ask if they can give me his dinner to take away (probably not starter and dessert but shouldn't be a problem for main). At least this way the food won't be wasted

My husband used to be similar with management of his chronic condition and I just left him to it. Life doesn't stop, neither does looking after the kids. I don't mollycoddle him if he's been disorganised with his meds. If I go out on my own then he's left with the kids at home. He doesn't just get to disappear off to bed and rest because he's not ordered his meds on time.

I'm obviously much more sympathetic and supportive when it's not of his making but I already pick up so much slack that I have no extra capacity for an adult who isn't adulting.

I'd see if a friend can join you or just go on your own. Enjoy the night out. I've eaten out on my own and tend to take a book or magazine.

Go on your own and enjoy it. Seriously - that'll be infinitely better than staying at home and wasting your ticket as well. Show DH that you're not going to miss out due to his lack of care.

£ 100 for a ticket? damned right I'd go, alone or not. Book or a magazine to read at dinner.

Surprisingly the venue refunded tickets which I'm very pleased about. Finally managed to get hold of them on messenger.

@SlidingInto2024 I like your thinking. He also keeps telling me that I'm not being a good nurse when he's sick. Well, because more often than not something is wrong with him!

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain yes, I went for dinner with a book quite few times and it was lovely. Or just people watching..

@INeedNewShoes - he did apologize and I know it wasn't done on purpose but this keeps on happening to him so it's his own doing
