DP whinging that I go to cinema with my friend rather than him

DP only ever gets to go to the cinema if I go with him. Therefore I feel responsible if he "misses" films. We've been to see quite a few things these past few months but sometimes I like a girly night at the cinema with my friend too and other times I like to take the kids (DP and I don't live together).

dp has just said he's off work next wednesday so we can go to cinema then to see Dark Shadows or Dictator. I said I'd already made plans to take DS to see avengers. He said "well when can WE go then? don't know how much longer dark shadows will be on, I don't want to miss it" Hmm so I said "well actually, I told my friend I'd go and see that with her" his response to this was "but you went to see American Pie with her!" Hmm yes I remember!

So he's saying "well what can WE go and see then??" so I said we can see Dictator. He wants to go one day next week despite knowing I'm going twice next week already.

AIBU here?? It's not my fault he has nobody else to go with, surely I shouldn't have to go to cinema just because he wants to all the time?? it's not that i don't spend any time with him either btw, we're going away for the whole weekend this weekend, other weekends we often stay at each others houses, coffees during the week etc but I do like to see my friend's too!!

AIBU/

Who are all these people who frequent the cinema alone?

That'd be me Grin I went to see the first possible showing of The Avengers in my Cap t-shirt all on my lonesome - it was bliss! I took a half day that I couldn't take earlier in the month and my OH/friends couldn't get the time off. I throroughly enjoyed the film (I have been waiting 20odd years to see it). Nobody to distract me/steal my M&Ms/share my ice blast, it was fantastic.

If he won't go on his own then tough tits. I don't see why he can't go with you and the kids if you all want to see the same film (I realise it's not the case with the ones next week). Personally I think the more the merrier if OH and my friends are going but if you want it to be just your friends, fair enough, I guess. Doesn't he have any friends that would go with him?

I need to get my anxiety in check and just go don't I?

I'm going to do it. I'm going to pick an awesome film and just go it alone hardcore

I promise you that if you go in the afternoon, you will a) not be the only one alone and b) no-one will even notice you.
