to not want to spend one of our rare and precious 'date nights' going to see a film about Margaret Pissing Thatcher?

DH and I don't get out much. When we do we go for a meal, actually talk, have some drinks, come home and ahem snuggle. It's a lovely break from our usual evening of sitting in front of the telly.

We are going out on Saturday. Last night he mentioned looking up to see when this is on (don't click if of nervous disposition.)

I am not absolutely sure he was serious, although I know he would like to see it.

I made a Hmm face and reiterated my usual objection to the cinema, which is that we spend most of our evenings watching a screen and so I'd prefer not to do exactly the same on the one night out we get every 6 weeks or so. I promised to buy him the DVD as soon as it comes out.

Now as luck would have it it doesn't open till 6th Jan - he doesn't know this yet - which means I get my meal out this Sat.

However AIBU to say if he does want to see this at the cinema on our next opportunity, the following conditions apply:

  1. He pays for the babysitter
  2. We eat out as well (and not just popcorn)
  3. He doesn't expect a shag afterwards because that would just be, well, wrong.

MN jury, I need you.

Star Trek was great until Leonard Nimoy fucking well showed up doesn't he always?

Then it was beyond bollocks.

Not sure whether meal and cinema will fit into the time window, but may try. Even if it turns out to be McDonalds. Which I love and he hates. Heh heh.

Eating out is important to me as DH is a vegetarian and I am not so I eat vegetarian food nearly all the time at home and only get to eat what I want if I'm in a restaurant.
