He is going on a stag do in June which is on my birthday... anyway, cant change that so fair enough, but I just asked him when he is flying as it is in Barcelona and he has said wednesday evening.... ?
I asked why as he said it was on the saturday and he then tells me its a 3 day music festival !!! So he will be away for 5 days ! For a F**king stag do !

Am I being unreasonable ??!!

I wouldn't be happy about it either but that's just my opinion!

Stage/Hens do's seem to be getting longer these days, it's ridiculous.

Pictish · 17/05/2011 15:33

I wouldn't mind.
I'd quite like to away with my gal pals for 5 days myself. My dh wouldn't complain about it....and neither would I.

YANBU for being pissed off at him for not being straight in the first place, but then HINBU for going.

My DH went to Florida for 5 days for his friend's stag do. I was fine with it because he asked me if I minded first.

Im booking a swimtrek holiday on my own for a week ! (i wish) see how he likes it ! Ejit !

I would be pissed off too, especially if I suspected he knew about it being 5 days and didnt tell me .... reading between the lines I gather this may be the case here

I think my reaction would be based on what how he was going to ensure I got a nice birthday treat when he got back tbh! I wouldnt mind too much my dh doing this type of thing because I know he would make it well worth my while if you see what I mean.

my niece is going to music festival in barcelona, but she is going in july Confused is there more than one?

I would be angry too in your shoes, if stag night is on the saturday then you should go too so you can spend the other 4 days together :)

joanne34 · 17/05/2011 15:37

I dont mind him going, but he never said he was going on the wednesday and coming back on the sunday....... but then he never thinks !
Probably because I always hold the fort !

Oo is it going to Sonar? Lucky beggar. I think you're being a bit unreasonable.. yes, I'd be jealous in your situation but I'm sure you'll get the chance of a long weekend away without him at some point to pay him back! Let him enjoy himself, he didn't pick the destination.

joanne34 · 17/05/2011 15:40

Im not Jealous, just pissed off he didnt give me full details.... is that too much to ask ? Being his other half and having to now make child travel adjustments etc re work, plus it messes up certain things for me too....

Just make sure YOU get a good break doing whatever YOU like to do, at some point in the year too!

What's good for the goose and all that....

Don't get overly nippy about this....it's really not worth a fall out.

cumbria81 · 17/05/2011 15:46

What's the problem? So long as you get to go away too there is no prob

PfftTheMagicDragon · 17/05/2011 15:47

You should be annoyed - he'd see better acts at Primavera Wink

mycatoscar · 17/05/2011 16:09

cumbria - the problem is he didnt communicate with his partner about the arrangements, this has now caused her childcare problems and inconvenience - I am not surprised she is pissed off with that, it doesnt show much consideration!

And I think she is joking about going away too, she says "I wish"

breatheslowly · 17/05/2011 17:53

YANBU - I wouldn't mind DH going to a music festival, but I would mind being told not asked.

YellowDinosaur · 17/05/2011 17:57

Yep I'm with breathesslowly

maddy68 · 17/05/2011 18:00

perhaps he realised he would get a hard time from you so bent the truth slightly. Let him go its only a few days
