So DP Brother asked him to babysit 3:4 months down the line, and is seeing the amazing Brain cox at Wembley, so DP obviously agreed, I went ahead and spoke to friend to try get tickets even DP looked at tickets master, now DP feels hurt and destroyed I didn’t choose him to babysit with him, said I didn’t think about him At all just went ahead and got tickets???

Eh?Confused

DP is destroyed that you got tickets of an event that he's not able to attend?

With him or without him?

If with him, can DP brother find someone else to babysit?

If without him, is he cross that you're going without him when he would like to see Brian Cox's lecture?

It's not at all clear in your post what's happening here.

You should have talked to him, as well as your Friend, just to let him know that you were going to go to the show.

"Destroyed" is an overreaction. Hurt? possibly, but you aren't joined at the hip.

You got tickets for an Everton know your DP can't go to? Why?

davisday · 23/10/2018 00:54

*event.

I have never written Everton in my life Blush

davisday · 23/10/2018 00:54

Are you going with his brother or just copying his brother and leaving him out?

Either way it's a bit weird.

I’m not sure I could be with someone who was ‘destroyed’ I went to an event without them Confused

Sausagerollers · 23/10/2018 09:26

It looks to me like your DP agreed to babysit in the understanding that you would actually be the one doing the childcare.
Now the onus is on him to look after his neice/nephew he's not so keen!

DP feels we incompatible because instead of being there and choosing him to babysit I automatically went to book tickets so feels upset and hurt because I instead of staying with him during babysitting that he wants to do as a couple I rushed it to get tickets instead!

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

The brother bought tickets for an event and asked your DP to babysit?

DP says yes.

You then buy tickets for you to go to the same event as the brother?

And you are confused as to why your DP is a bit Confused

Or have I picked that up wrong?

TwistedStitch · 23/10/2018 09:45

So you liked the sound of an event your DP's brother is going to and have decided to go along with a friend. DP is 'destroyed' that you won't be available to help with the babysitting that HE volunteered to do. DP is a twat.

davisday · 23/10/2018 09:47

Oh he wants you to babysit.

Right.

knowsmorethansnow · 23/10/2018 09:53

Your dp really needs to get a grip.

Housingcraze · 23/10/2018 10:02
