To not want DH to go drinking with work Collegues when we're on holiday?

[Emprexia]

DH has a guy he works with who he's just found out is staying in a campsite a little way down from where our caravan is sited.

He's never been out with this guy, doesn't even particularly like him, but wants to go out for a drink with him while we're at the caravan.

He can't understand why i don't particularly want him to, or is refusing to see it from my point of view.

Holidays are for family, why the hell should i like being left in the caravan with the baby while on our FAMILY holiday while he goes and gets drunk with someone he spends 38hrs a week working with and can go out drinking with any day of any week of the year??

AIBU?

It wouldn't really bother me. Holidays are for family and he is one of your family, surely if he wants to go for a drink with a mate on his holidays it is not that big a deal? Although ideally I would want to be included in the plans. Could you not all go out together as a group for lunch or something.

I wouldn't mind that, but he wants to go to the pub in the evening/night where i cant go with the baby.

I wouldn't object, but then I know DH would only be gone for about an hour or so, and I know I might arrange to meet up with a colleague if the situation was reversed.

If DH was going to be gone for hours, or get plastered, I'd not be happy.

I don't think you are being unreasonable. If he was a close colleague or friend at work then it would be different.

But why does he want to if he doesn't even like him that much?

If it were my DH I wouldn't object to him drinking with this guy one night.

Also, maybe you if you let him have one night off you could get some time off for yourself in return?

yes, I'ld be a bit irritated, but I'ld go for arranging a nice day/night out for yourself on your return in exchange, than a blanket no, you can't do it.
