to be a bit pissed off about this

I really hope I am being unreasonable because I will like to snap out of being annoyed by this.

Here is the story.

It is DH and my wedding anniversary (10th) next week. I thought a lot about what to get DH as he is very hard to buy for. Anyway, I have been saving for ages and bought us two tickets to Lords for the day (in May) as we are cricket nuts and have never been there. I told DH's best friend about it two weeks ago and told him to keep it a secret. Anyway, DH's best friend just called DH to say he has just bought two ticket to take him to the Wimbledon semi-final. DH is obviously thrilled and, I know this is selfish of me, but I cannot help feel that this has taken the shine of my gift to DH next week: "Oh, I know you have just got this AMAZING gift to go to Wimbledon but here are some cheap tickets to the second day of a test match at Lords."

As way of background, it is all very complicated but DH's best friend (who is gay) was actually in love with him for a while (non-requited) but often does quite sweet things for him. I don't usually mind (I am glad that someone else also loves him - we can never have enough love in the world) but this feel like it is stealing my thunder a little bit.

What do you think? (rational part of my brain is telling me I should be pleased that DH has so many wonderful things to do this summer; selfish part of my brain is pissed off! And yes, I know cricket and tennis are two different sports.)

..never thought of that Goady-it does bring a strange image to mind! Lol!!
chaya we are well rid. Her and her hubby did several things to upset us-we were friends for years, but changed a lot-and the writing was definitely on the wall after my 40th!!

This would annoy me. It kind of makes you wonder if best friend is still holding a flame for your DH....

I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. His move smacks of desperation/neediness.

I'd keep my cards much closer to my chest in future.
