to be so gutted about losing out on this break?

[JammyGem]

Was supposed to be going to France next week to meet DP's parents for the first time. It was going to be a nice break for us both as well as things have been a bit tough recently for both of us.

DP told me last night thatched doesn't want me to come with him anymore. His parents are quite ill and he doesn't think they'll cope. Which.is completely fair enough and I understand completely, but I'm so gutted.

I'm being selfish I know, and I hope his parents get better. But I'm so disappointed - I really wanted to meet them, I wanted to get on with them, and I wanted the break away from everything.

I'm on a zero hours contract so put myself as unavailable for the two weeks, and now the rota is set in stone so I'm missing out on work when money is tight enough as it is. I can't afford to do anything else so I'll be sat at home for two weeks.

I'm being so selfish but I'm just so upset. Tell me I'm being unreasonable so I can feel better about it all.

What about saying that you'd love to go and meet them but as they have been unwell the two of you were thinking it might be nice for the two of you to go visit (insert touristy place a couple of hours away here) for the weekend in the middle of your stay so they can have a few days without the two of you there. You could bill it as a romantic birthday gift from DP to you. You could leave early on Saturday and stay over night then come back Sunday after dinner so they wouldn't have to cook for you that day either and it would only cost you a cheapy hotel for one night and some food.

...??
