to just not understand why dp won't share big night

[notimetoshop]

ok. i have a pt job. dp had a ft job but now is pt.
So I asked to go ft but economic situation blah di blah di blah.
I am v sympathetic to dp, but at same time have been asked my job to swish do and dp is invited.
He is refusing to go because 'they never do anything for him'. I point out, but this is something for you. but this doesn't count
should i just go alone - it involves travelling, staying overnight alone.
or should i cop out myself to support him. although not sure what supporting him in really.
really just want a way to persuade him...

and thanks to everyone else as well of course. i am being v dramatic about it being make or break, but maybe just tired...

Not sure I'm reading this right, he's getting pissy because your company won't do anything for him? Eh?

There's only one answer... Leave the bastard

Your oh is an arse!

What on earth is he talking about saying you give in too easily? If there are no jobs, there are no jobs. What's his real problem?

he's a mass of contradictions....
tbh if he hadn't said yes to start with, if like bunbaker's oh he'd said... you know what i really hate those kind of dos. makes me feel very uncomfortable...
but no there's this whole narrative thing now about work v him. but now wondering about it, perhaps his whole bluster is genuine, but masking the real problem. he just doesn't want to spend eve talking polite shop with my colleagues.

What the hell is he talking about work v him?

Really you should go and have a fab night and let him sit at home sulking if Rhys what he wants

"he's a mass of contradictions...."
You mean he behaves like an arse? What does he expect of you? It sounds as if he is trying to punish YOU (not your company) for not working full-time.
