To be really annoyed at DH for procrastinating again...

This isnt the first time hes left something so long that its too late, and I know I'm probably BU to get annoyed with him but I get absolutely fucking exhaused of being the one who does and organises everything. Just once I want to be treated iykwim. He is a bit awful so we have a big chalkboard in the front room with all the things to remember.

I do christmas, because I like it, I'm the cook, wrap etc. In return DH books and organises our NYE dinner. We always go for a fancy dinner early enough to get a cab home so we can both have a drink, then continue at home. It feels like a proper night out as every other time we go out DH insists on driving as its cheaper than a cab. It has been up on the blackboard (which was his idea before i become a controlling wife) to book the dinner for a month

A few weeks ago he said to me we would go to X, our favourite place but its TINY, and we've often not managed to get in. A friend just meantioned they had tried but they were booked out solid all night, commented to DH we must have been lucky to get a seat...

He went white. Said he meant to do it tomorrow. So now we have no where to go out

AIBU to be really fucked off with him?? He has put it off and not bothered and now hes shocked that 3 weeks from NYE they are booked out. For Valentines he booked pretty much this time last year to be sure FFS!! He could have booked online, hes had he reminder for the last few weeks and hes just not bothered. Now even the back up is booked out so god knows where we will go.

I'm having a crappy time since the summer and (irrelevent i know) two nights out I was meant to have this month have been cancelled, so now only christmas nights out I have are with his friends, who are ALL single or divorced so I feel like a third wheel, or his family who make me feel like a stuck up snob. I was really looking forward to this dinner he promised and he just hasnt bothered.

Am I being totally self centred or is he being a complete twat to have forgotten the one thing he needed to do. It was about all I had to look forward to over Christmas that was for me... gah now I do sound self centred but am v upset with him

If he is like this on important stuff like paying bills on time etc then it is very annoying and actually you need to be concerned about it before you have a baby with him.

In the case of the Restaurant don't let it ruin your festive mood. It can be better fun not having a booked table, you mind end up in a better restaurant or in a bar or in a street party Grin. But i'm talking as someone who prefers last minute things.
