Not sure if I'm being unreasonable or not?

My dh has a friend who lives abroad. The friend, his wife and baby are coming to our country to visit soon and will be nearby but not in our town. Dh plans to go and meet up when they are here if he can (depends on exact days they are in the country and dh's work commitments etc) and has said that he will probably just go by himself.

Now aibu in thinking that if this friend and his wife and baby are coming to visit that we as a family should all go to see them and catch up? If dh goes by himself the wife and baby will not be left sitting in the hotel room twiddling their thumbs they will be with the friend chatting away with dh and included in the visiting, yet dh seems too think that I and our children should not be included.

I can't help feeling that this seems a bit unfair, would your other half do this or would you all go along as a family?

I can't decide if he's being unreasonable to want to go by himself or if I'm being unreasonable for thinking that we should all go along together.

Could you not being invited have more to do with your DHs friend, rather than your DH?

That his friend has said he'd prefer it to be just your DH going, for whatever reason.

Maybe him and his wife are stressed out about something and don't feel able to put a brave face on it?

Who knows?

Your DH might not have wanted to say anything because he didn't want to hurt your feelings and affect the way you think of his friends, but then he's hurt your feelings not saying why.

I'm just making that up, but there could be an understandable reason.
