We have a holiday house abroad which we rent out near a holiday resort.
My DH met a friend of a friend a few years ago and since then have become quite good friends. I’ve never met friend (let’s call F) but DH and him meet up fairly regularly with others for dinner or just the two of them for lunch, coffee or to go to a football match. They both come from the same foreign country.
Last week (for complicated and not relevant reasons) F found himself overnighting in a hotel in the resort where we have our house. He phoned my DH to tell him (in a isn’t that funny kind of a way). He also said that the loved it, and wanted to return with his DW in the late May bank holiday.
DH said we would be there that time too and he was more than welcome to stay in the spare room. Initially F said ‘no’ but then DH said ‘No need to hang out with us - more to use as a base’ and left it there.
DH has invited a work friend once before (who I’d met briefly) and I was a little annoyed but got on with it as it was pre-kids, it was only for a long weekend and we plenty of other times to go away.
If DH invited them to our house here, I’d be fine - but somehow inviting there whilst we’re on hols feels different.
Anyway I think we’ve dodged a bullet as which couple in their right mind would want to go on hols with a family of 5 (esp one with a baby of less than 1 year) but...
... I’m still a little worried they do come back and say they’d love to and either we are stuck with them or my DH says I’ve said ‘no’ and I look like a bitch if / when I do meet him (and to other mutual friends).
So am I right to be annoyed - and what to do if they say yes???
