To feel like shit. I'm in the middle of cleaning stairs, when there's a knock on door, it's a friend of ours we haven't seen for about thirty five years. He and his DW went to live in Italy. Cut a long story short, we had to change date of wedding in 1980. His DW owned a shop doing manicures. I asked my DH to let her know, she would have to change date of closing shop. As I worked night's and probably wasn't going to see them, much before new date. DH didn't let them know, she went mad, because she told customers the shop was closed on first date we booked. Back to present day, and I asked him where DW was, he said she still blamed ME for shop debacle, and didn't want to come. I think it was preferable to blame me, because may DH was big friends with them before I came on scene. I feel really upset she still holds a grudge after all this time. AIBU to think she should hold this grudge for DH or at least both of us.

Why didn’t you just telling him it was your dh’s fault? She’s holding a grudge from 1980? Is she batshit?!

I think she must lead a very sad life if she is still sulking 35 year later! Shock that is beyond ridiculous, it’s not like you drowned her puppy ffs

Was it nice to see friend?

Too much water under the bridge to think much about why his wife still bears a grudge, apparently, I can understand you're a bit put out though. Let it rest.

Holding a grudge for that long? Life is far too short. Pity her if anything but don’t waste your tears.

I did explain to him what happened, but he said, you know what DH is like, you should have told us yourself. FH I can't believe you can hold a grudge for so long, it's not like I firebombed the feckin shop.

This is very confusing. Still holding a grudge after 37 years is really quite bizarre. Why did he just show up?

ItMadeMyEyesWater · 23/12/2017 13:18

BulletFox I think it would have been more enjoyable if DH was here to take the flack.

The friend said that to you? I think you were lucky they moved to Italy. Too much drama by half.

PaperdollCartoon They were staying with some relatives for Christmas, and he thought he'd look up some old friends.

Bloody hell, don't waste another thought on those people. Turf him out, too. How rude.
