Kids were with grandparents last night so DH and I had planned to go for a meal. Last week when it first came up he suggested I wear a certain dress. I agreed and he kept going on about it (like he does
) but last night I felt it was too cold for it so decided not to wear it after all. He said "oh, I thought you were wearing that blue dress?!" so I said I felt it was too cold. He sulked and said "but you promised"
err no I didn't and its hardly a big deal, I wear what I want.
So instead I wore black skinny jeans with a sparkly top. Therefore I was still "dressed up" and it was obvious I wasn't just popping down to tesco for a pint of milk iyswim.
I made an effort with my hair, make up etc and then came down to find DH wearing old jeans with a small tear in the knee, an old t-shirt and trainers. Not the first time he's gone to a resteraunt dressed like this but last night it pissed me off. I said "are you going out like that??" and he said "yes, what's wrong with it?" so I got quite cross and said how dare he make a fuss over what I wear when he just goes dressed in scruffy day-time clothes. I said I wouldn't go out with him dressed like that and I felt it was disrespectful to the resteraunt and mainly disrespectful to me.
He went off in a mjor mood and said "well you better iron me a shirt then". When I refused to do that we very nearly ended up not going out at all (in fact I didn't want to by this point).
was I unreasonable to make a stand??
