To be annoyed my husband invited me out for lunch...after stating there's no one in the office tomorrow

[Discobabe]

His team are all out tomorrow so he will be 'alone' (alone in his immediate work area, there are other people in the office but not people he knows well).

I feel like he's only asked because I'm a better option than eating alone at his desk, he doesn't invite me out for lunch when his team members are there.

[sparechange]

You're looking at this all wrong!
He has no one checking how long he has taken, or if he has had a couple of drinks with his lunch
I always have nice lunches on the days I'm home alone in the office. The lack of guilt about being out longer makes the food taste so much nicer

"Are you a SAHM? I would suggest a hobby."

Ouch! That was harsh.

I hope you have a nice lunch OP.

[acasualobserver]

Is he paying? If so, no further thought is needed.

[LikeASoulWithoutAMind]

I thought the same as GeekyWombat - he's probably thinking it's a good opportunity to go out for lunch without too much clock watching.

Hope you have a nice time

[GabsAlot]

no no no! why arent you being all weird and dfensive op ;)

anyway enjoy your lunch never been invited out by my dh then again he works an hour away andim not travelling that far for lunch

[Scarydinosaurs]

Order lobster and have a white wine. Enjoy!

[Sparklesilverglitter]

Husband invites wife out for lunch

What's the problem?

Go for lunch and enjoy

[Discobabe]

Good point madgingermunchkin.

[ElsaAintAsColdAsMe]

You aren't supposed to take our advice on board op.

Don't you know the rules of AIBU?

[madgingermunchkin]

If things haven't been great, maybe he's making an effort to change that......

[Stillunexpected]

I would have though he was inviting you because he can have a slightly more relaxed lunch if no-one is going to notice that he is 10 mins late back. Surely he doesn't feel the need to eat with someone so badly every day that he has to invite you rather than having a sandwich at his desk? Who actually takes a lunch hour these days anyway - surely if you weren't available he would just pop out for 20 mins?

[Dodooodoo]

Hope you have a nice time!

[SaucyJack]

Erroneous apostrophe!

[SaucyJack]

He's probably just thinking he can have a glass of wine without having to worry about colleague's smelling his breath.

Chill Winston.

[FruStefanOla]

Sorry - I X-posted with the OP.

[Nocabbageinmyeye]

Op: aibu?
Mn: yes you are
Op: great thanks you are right

All's well that ends well, enjoy your lunch op

[FruStefanOla]

I agree with Geeky's observation that he can probably get away with taking a bit longer for lunch than normal and thought it would give you both an opportunity to have a nice, relaxing lunch out together.

[Discobabe]

No I'm not a sahm 😂. Yes there is backstory, our relationship hasn't always been great. I do often read too much into innocent things because of this. Thanks for putting me straight, answers taken on board, I'm being silly.

[HandWash]

It's just lunch.

[feathermucker]

Really?! Unless there's a back story here...YABVU

[GeekyWombat]

Maybe he thought 'hey, everyone's out today, what a fab opportunity to take my lovely Discobabe for lunch without having to dash back cause no-one will notice if I take a bit longer than usual.'

Unless there's something more going on here you've not mentioned, why assume the worst when on the face of it he's doing something nice? Give him the benefit of the doubt!

[Scarydinosaurs]

YABU it's just a nice offer. And isn't eating lunch with you better than being on your own? It sounds like you're just looking for the bad in things.

[A11TheSmallTh1ngs]

Are you a SAHM? I would suggest a hobby.

[HermioneJeanGranger]

YABVU, what's wrong with that?

[NeedMoreSleepOrSugar]

Unless there's more to this, I don't see the problem? Dh and I have certainly done this before - its just lunch - usually he's with work colleagues (normal) but tomorrow he has an opportunity he usually doesn't have, to do something different, and he chose to have lunch with you
