To not want to spend any time with DH's friend?

Dh has invited his twatty friend over tomorrow evening. I don't have anywhere I can escape to - wibu to take a glass of wine and the last of the Xmas tree chocolates upstairs with me tomorrow and stay up there MNing until he's gone? Dh says it's only an hour (bet it's more) and I'm bu to not want to speak to this person.

Here are some reasons why I would not like to spend a second of my time with this loser:

  1. When Dh told this friend (aka Twatface) that we were getting married he didn't say anything positive just told Dh he was making a mistake and it would end in divorce. The whole way through our engagement he carried on like this, saying he gives it a year before we split, that I would get bored after a few months and want to go out clubbing instead (wtf??), but at least we would get a nice party out of it all (the wedding reception). Dh and I had been together 2.5 years when we got married, were very happy together, no major bust-ups, etc, just a normal couple, so I don't know wtf he was on about Confused.

  2. Dh told him the date of the wedding 6 months before. Within those 6 months he changed his mind about which bits of our wedding he would like to attend 5 times. In the end he turned up late to the ceremony and came to the reception around 11pm with some random19 year old waitress from his work (he was 33 at the time). When he tried it on with her she turned him down because she had a boyfriend and only wanted to be friends (she'd made this clear when he invited her). He was really rude to her, left her on her own and went off to the bar to get drunk Angry.

  3. I think he's sleazy and has been way too touchy feely with me and other of his friends' dps.

  4. He drink drives. He's been on the course, he's been banned from driving and he still bloody does it. Oh and he tries to persuade others to do it too Angry.

  5. He never seems to do anything nice for his friends unless there's something in it for him.

  6. He's SO pretentious! Lots of examples of this but one in particular I can think of - he came over to our house once and we offered him a drink. He asked for red wine so Dh poured him a glass and he did this really over-the-top sticking his nose right in the glass to smell the wine, swirling it around a bit, taking a tiny sip and going hmmmm. He wasn't joking. And it wasn't even decent wine, just the cheap stuff we pick up from the supermarket during the weekly shop! The bottle was on the table in front of him and clearly had 'Sainsbury' on the label Confused.
    It's embarrassing to watch.

I could go on with more examples but I'm aware that this post is already long! Anyway, imo if Dh wants to spend time with someone like this then that's up to him but aibu not to want to?

OMG, seriously he asked "Why do I have to deal with him?" Bet he whined too! Shock
If he didn't want to "deal with him", why let him come round??
Bizarre!

I know! He did whine and say it's not fair. I think he was (half) joking.

"I couldn't tolerate my DH being friends with someone who drinks and drives. They would not be setting foot my home"

Absolutely.
