AIBU to not tell him that my plans have changed?

[venusandmars]

Had a work trip to London arranged Monday/Tuesday. Leaving early tomorrow morning. Have spent time today getting papers ready, packing small case etc.

Dp is being great. He's rearranged his own meetings so that he can take care of dog etc. He's bought his favourite things to eat (stuff I don't like).

Now my meeting has been cancelled.

WIBU not to tell him, and set off tomorrow morning with a cheery wave. I'd have a blissful free day with no responsibilities, I could eat alone in my favourite restaurant.

I fear that if I say it's been cancelled then all tomorrow's domestic responsibilities will revert to me...

I'd do it. Let the meeting get 'cancelled' very late on. But I'd then feel like I had to confess... totally unhelpful

How would you feel if the roles were reversed?

I'd be tempted to do just that ;-)

Besides the dog, are there any other domestic responsibilities?

If you lie to him now, he might not be so willing to help when you genuinely do need it.

You Dp might be looking forward to his own 2 days doing just for him too since he bought in his favourite stuff etc. Don’t think it’s that bad just to have a day to yourself. Enjoy!

If there is only a dog to worry about, he's probably quite looking forward to the house to himself, eating what he likes etc so I'd just go ahead.

Forgot to say I love it when dh goes away for a night or two and I'd be gutted if his plans changed at the last minute and he stayed at home, haha!

A few years ago, he went on a walking weekend with his dad and got rained off so came back a night early. I had my sister round for a girls night, had just ordered pizza and was so looking forward to the bed to myself, I found it very hard to be sympathetic and welcoming!
