Would it be unreasonable to leave DH on his own Christmas night?

[cherrycrumblecustard]

Obviously, after the children are in bed?

A friend has texted me and invited me to hers for an hour or so (she is a single mum so can't come to ours) for a catch up, I really want to go. But before I ask DH if it's okay with him I wondered if I'm way off in thinking this is acceptable?

Because she doesn't drive, she and DH don't get on, and because there's no one to have her son

I've not read your other thread, but having been in an abusuve marriage myself, is it worth going if you know he's likely to say "yes go" then make life miserable and throw it back in your face afterwards?

Couldn't you pick her up and have her and her child?

Well, her child would be wanting to go to sleep if he isn't already when I get there. Anyway, DH and I have had a Christmas argument so he's probably going to be pleased to get rid of me for a few hours!

It's worrying that you say he's "letting" you see your friend.

It's not the sort of thing you should need permission to do.

I hope this is just a bad choice of words, and not a true reflection of the situation!

Just go, without being rude, he'll probably enjoy it as well
