to be a bit peeved about dp and the cinema

[diamond457]

I've been wanting to go see bridget jones baby for ages! I said to dp but he said he didn't really fancy it so I went with my friend instead last week.

Dp went to the cinema last night with a friend because they wanted to see magnificent seven and I don't fancy it either.
Apparently it was cancelled and they went and saw bridget jones instead! I only found this out an hour ago, when he came in last night he didn't say anything and I sent him a text at work asking him how was the film and he said he went and seen bridget jones because the other one was cancelled.
I am a bit annoyed but not sure why. I guess the fact he never told me and the fact he didn't actually want to go see a film with me but went with a mate because nothing else is on. Tickets are expensive and we could have just gone together! I think im more miffed he didn't tell me about it!

Oh, and in that case, what did he think of the film?

I'm not sure I want to watch it, as I'm actually a fan of the original.

A lot of men do things to have a quiet life, maybe he anticipated you would be b irritated, so didn't mention it.
Or maybe it really bored him do he didn't want a post mortem.

Either way if he is generally trustworthy, and the man you want to be with, you could do well to lengthen his leash a bit.

"So after all that he said he was winding me up and he did go see the original film and he was only joking about bg."

That is quite funny. And just think, MN could have had you phoning the cinema, finding out that Magnificent 7 NOT cancelled...many posters convinced he was with another woman....

Blu that did make me chuckle.
He texted me at work and said he watched bg. When he got home i asked him what he thought and he just laughed and said he was joking. Went into detail about the cowboy film and i said to him what i put on here and how i was a bit annoyed. He thought it was hilarious.
I cant believe the conclusions people jumped to thinking it was an affair. Yes i may be mad but not as mad as some on here and not mad enough to phone the cinema! Crikey.

But did he like it?
What did he think in relation to the original?

Those are the important bits.

He loved it. Said Its the best western hes seen in a long time.

I dont nave to legnthen his 'leash' hate that phrase. I nave no problem with him spending time with friends or going out. I was annoyed about him going to see bg after all the fuss he made about not wanting to see it. Turned out he didnt anyway. I trust him 100% and dont need to be extending any leish. He only went to the cinema, if he did see bg i would have been a bit miffed because he didnt want to see it when i asked to go but wouldnt have been that miffed to cause a big argument over it either.

I'm loving this typo "leish". And I wonder if it's a commonly typed word for you.

As MN is known for hating gender stereotypes they are quick to use them to prove a man is cheating

Not to alarm you, but when the "Edge of reason" came out in 2004, my then DP went to see it without me. That's how I found out he's cheating. He said that there was nothing else on at the time and they went to see it. I said "well, if you were with male friend, you could have gone to the pub instead. This is not the film you watch with another man". His reaction showed me that I wasn't wrong.
That's how I ended up being single mother for almost a decade.

On another note - I fucking loved it! I will probably see it again few times, because it's so good.

Secondly, two straight guys watching a chick flick?

So much wrong with that dick attitude, but I can't even be arsed.

Yes i may be mad but not as mad as some on here

How charming you sound OP. And yes you are right, you do sound unhinged from your posts.

I really should've read the full thread.
Sorry.
Anyway, my ex is now dead, but I will always remember how he talked himself in. And he was 20 years older than me, I bet he was surprised when 19 years old pregnant woman managed to find out. He was always thinking that he is so clever.

yes Derek I agree, that appears true! I'm not alarmed at all. I know his friends well and we are meeting with the friend from the cinema on Saturday for birthday drinks. Even though I have insisted there is no other woman, people are still trying to warn me otherwise!
Wont be posting anymore!

Oh how gracious of you. Off you go then. Door's that way.

My husband would watch BJ, he loves those films. He isn't gay.

My son is coming to watch it with me tomorrow, but he is gay.

I didn't realise that it was odd for a straight man to watch BJ though

Absouletly derek you are spot on

Fully understand the concern of the OP.
If i thought my DP had watched a film at the cinema that they previously weren't fussed on, because the film they wanted to see wasn't showing, then I would be seriously thinking they were having an affair, or just whether to dump them for watching that film without me.
That is a serious, serious issue.
I'm not sure I could carry on the relationship if this happened. It is abusive behaviour to lead you into thinking that he didn't want to see it, and then he went to see it!!! Not sure if there is a way back from this.
