Bloody stag dos

3 x weddings (so far) to attend this summer. 2 x stag dos. One wedding is child-free - tricky with a baby and toddler but hey ho.

DH has just asked if he can go on a stag do. Undecided city in Europe for a weekend. Every year there is at least one stag do abroad and it drives me mad. UK ones I can cope with - he can do one night or even two but it doesn't cost the price of a small holiday and take up valuable family time.

We go to a lot of weddings. DD (2 1/2) has been to 14.

AIBU to ask DH not to go? He will go to the other UK one, and to all the bloody weddings.

Shit, you're not going to get me drunk and try and marry me are you?

I didn't say you were dim

I said there was one naive person in your marriage, and it wasn't your husband (you were letting him off the hook of his twat-like behaviour at the time by saying he was "naive and easily-led")

you won't wrong-foot me, lady

LoopyLoopsHootyHoots · 21/01/2012 00:11

No, I know you didn't say that.

But do you think it?

Because I can't have it ruining my fun in Vegas.

no, I am going to marry Bradley Cooper, and you are going to be bridesmaid

LoopyLoopsHootyHoots · 21/01/2012 00:13

Oh.

But you're already married.

And I don't know who BC is.

Oh no, his eyes are too pale. Creepy.

I don't think you are dim. I think you are sharp. I think you try too hard to do the "pc" thing, though. I also think you have your husband on a pedestal.

LoopyLoopsHootyHoots · 21/01/2012 00:14

That from this thread or previous?

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 21/01/2012 00:15

it doesn't matter in Vegas, you can get married as many times as you like

AnyFucker · 21/01/2012 00:17

Contrary to what the foggy one said, I have not referred to, nor searched any previous threads

In fact, it's clear you "know" me and I am embarassed to say I am struggling to remember your previous incarnation. It's gotta be Loopy summat (am not totally fick), but I don't know exactly what it is

LoopyLoopsHootyHoots · 21/01/2012 00:20

Ah OK, then I can be less paranoid about how I come across.

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 21/01/2012 00:33

you don't need to be paranoid about how you come across, chuck

this thread was about your husband's selfish behaviour, not yours

have you got your boarding card ?

and my "L" plates ?

AnyFucker · 21/01/2012 00:35

looks like susie's cried off

bloody typical

LoopyLoopsHootyHoots · 21/01/2012 00:36

I think she felt left out.

Bit sad that you don't remember me. I was feeling all quichy, going to Vegas and all. :(

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 21/01/2012 00:44

I do remember you!

just not everything about you, or your precise previous name

you had a loopy kinda name, not this one though

AnyFucker · 21/01/2012 00:44

you bloody namechangers, you expect everyone to remember every incarnation...

AnyFucker · 21/01/2012 00:50

off to bed now, nighty-night

LoopyLoopsHootyHoots · 21/01/2012 00:56

Night, enjoy LV lovely :)

Coming to this very late and have skipped about 7 pages, but... the trouble is, we are all getting married at different stages of our lives these days. So, 20 years ago I had no problem about going on expensive and frankly silly hen (and stag!) do's. But since the DD's came along, I can't afford the time or energy. Or cash. Now day is coming that they no longer need babysitters etc (although they still eat money), but not sure I have the energy left. My personal Golden Jubilee is approaching fast after all. So OP you're not being U. But best of luck anyway.
