To leave DH alone on NYE

[StuckInASnowglobe]

DH is on call NYE. I have been offered to visit a friends house for a couple of days, to share in the NYE celebrations and catch up. Friend lives down south so about three hours drive away.

DH obviously can't go due to work commitments (and it's highly likely that he will be working on NY day and the rest of the week). Now, here's the thing - DH has asked me not to go away either. He doesn't want to be at home on his own for NYE, and thought that we as a family could spend the evening together.

My annoyance is that he is choosing to be on call for NYE (he does have a choice in the matter) also he didn't discuss this with me before deciding to work. Pus, if he is going to be working - which is highly likely - then I'll be sat on my own with the DC.

I have decided that the children and I will go to my friends house, and if DH wants to, he can join us after NYE if he wants to. AIBU?

yanb

if he's not there and choosing to work instead then why should you sit at home?

go and enjoy yourself and catch up with your friend. tell him he's being a miserable selfish sod!

Sooo if he's called into work (which is more than likely) he's quite happy for you to spend it alone?
But he doesnt want to be?

Ummmm
Go....enjoy your evening...

yanbu if he chose to be on call without talking to you first.

He sounds like a baby.

Don't pander.

YANBU (I hope) as I am doing pretty much the same thing. DH on call, friends for NYE, stuff sitting in alone when I could be having fun with friends!
