To be pissed off at dp trying to rearrange 'our' night to fit in with his mates plans?

Dp and I have had it arranged for weeks now that we would go for s night out on the 20th March. This is basically to celebrate the end of a long difficult work placement I've had (of which the last shift is on that day) plus it's payday and as I've said, it's been planned ages.
Tonight he comes in saying his mates want to go on a night out on the 20th and he wondered if we could rearrange our night. I'm pissed off because as usual he's more concerned with upsetting others than he is about upsetting me and also he knew full well I was looking forward to going out that specific night as my last shift is that day and it was the perfect end to it all. He's now making out that I'm being unreasonable but we've had it planned ages. If it was the other way around i would simply say to friends "sorry, dp and I have arrangements that night" and it pisses me off that I don't get the same respect.
He's done it to me before, we'd arranged to go to cinema one night. I was really looking forward to it but then his mates decided they wanted him at cinema with them the same night so guess who had to change plans. Been together 3 years and live together brw, this isn't a new relationship

I hope you are not going home after your last day. Arrange to go out with a friend.
In fact if you stay with him make sure that you keep your friends and see them regularly.

Maybe I'm odd but this wouldn't bother me unless I had a table at a great restaurant or tickets for something that couldn't be moved. I suppose it depends how often he sees his mates - if it is frequently I guess I would object more to being shifted for someone he only got to catch up with occasionally.

I've just realised how lucky DH is, because this wouldn't bother me at all. It's easy to rearrange something you've organised with a DP, but often difficult to get a group together.

Surely by rescheduling your night out he gets to do both, whereas if he tells his mates he's busy on the 20th they'll go without him.

I guess I'm odd as this wouldn't bother me at all. Having said that dh has had 2 boys nights out in 4 years.

If it was a regular thing maybe I would have a different view.

Does he go out a lot without you?

Do you think he thinks his mates will take the piss and say he's under the thumb and all that? Some blokes are terrified of that.
