or just ungrateful?

[ungratefulwench]

I know I am really but if someone feels like agreeing with me, that would be nice .

I have a biggish birthday coming up and dp asked what I wanted to do. After 3 years of pregnancies, bfing and sleepless nights all I want is 1 night away with dp. So I can have a glass or 2 of wine, no rushing back to the babysitter and a little lie-in on my actual birthday before going back to the dcs and having a big family lunch.

Dp said "ok where do you want to go?"
I say "back to that lovely b&b in quaint little town with the cosy restaurant around the corner, that we went to for 3 yrs running before we had dc"
Dp "are you sure? Ok, I'll book it tommorrow"
Me "great! thank you!"

Dp came home last night and said "oh I've booked a completely different hotel, outside of quaint little town so will have to drive/get taxi to restaurant"
Me "oh. was the b&b booked then?"
Dp "No."

Am I being completely ungrateful? The hotel he has booked has a spa, pool etc but is not the b&b I wanted. I had it all planned out in my mind for walk along the river, can walk to bar and restaurant from hotel so no waiting around for taxis etc and a little trip down memory lane for us both.

I am, I know I am but why ask what I want then book something else?

My ex once booked a weekend away for us as a surprise for me - he wouldn't tell me what it was but kept saying how much I would love it. At the time I really wanted to go on a murder mystery weekend and thought it would be that so got really excited.
It was a weekend at Cadbury world. At the time I didn't eat chocolate. He'd essentially booked it for himself. It was ok, to be fair but not my preference so I can understand your disappointment but at least he was thinking of you when he booked the hotel.
