To Block DP when he’s on work trips

DP is away approx every 2 weeks. He’s on work trips in Europe.
The work takes place in European castles. I’m jealous.
The day is a maximum of 5 hrs talking at people. The 5 hours is broken down into 2 x 1/2 hour breaks & 2 x 2 hour workshops.
There is always a team building activity i.e cocktail making class, wine tasting etc.
I’m jealous.
There is always a 5 course dinner and a free bar.

I get a blow by blow account of the activities & food porn photos.

I’m eating a salad cream & crisp sandwich.

AIBU to block him for the duration of his ‘work ‘ ?

Honestly- changing subject altogether - never seen such a waste of public money

What's with all the workshops?

Is he a joiner?

I can't think of anything worse than being away from home with people having to go to boring workshops and doing awful team building stuff. bet he would much rather be at home really. Know I would.

You need cheese, crisps and salad cream!

And definitely block DH while he’s away 😊

DP goes away on business a lot in the summer to rather nice sounding places like LA and Cape Town. He tells me some of his colleagues with kids have to Skype from their rooms as their other halves get pissed off if it’s from the rooftop bar or the pool. I’m always glad DP’s having a good time but may change my mind once our baby arrives...

Oh - think you might be on the same Pinot as me 🤔

Get loads of cardboard cutouts of celebrities and pretend to be having a mahoosive party while he's away and brag about all the fun YOU'RE having!

Suck on that, mister I-have-such-fabulous-job!

Send him a photo of Tom Hardy and tell him you're currently shagging him.
