So for the past 15 years DH myself and 2 other couples have spend Hogmanay together. Last year 1 couple went away to visit friends, they text at midnight to say that they wished they were at home and would be at home next year. Couple 2 and us spent it together.
We all met up in November and made plans for this year, DH and l had thought about going away but as she made such a big thing about being "back to normal" we decided not too.
So on boxing day she dropped into conversation that they were going away again this year. I feel a bit blahhh. Why did she not tell us before now. I am a bit hurt and disappointed although we have had family staying all week going home tomorrow morning and l am exhausted, so an early night is very appealing.
I spoke to other couple who had no idea they were going away ( we were supposed to be going to this other couples house). We are going to decide tomorrow what we are going to do now if anything.
This friend is very emotionally dependant on me and it is draining, l had just done her yet another enormous favour . WIBU to back off next year and just do my own thing?
I think it is very overrated anyway
