AIBU to be upset with DH?

I'm (supposed) to be going to Oz at the weekend. my DH has a few nights work there on a cruise ship so we are extending the trip beforehand. I couldnt get on the same flight as him so I will be travelling there alone.
Because we will be on a ship we need a specific add on to the usual Electronic visa which has to be applied for first. On monday I was working away from home so I asked him to complete my part of the visa as I am considered his companion. His came back as approved straight away but mine didnt. Turns out he ballsed it up. Under the section specifically asking if I've been known as any other names including before marriage he said no. He also said I was unemployed because he "couldnt remember" what my job title was and who I worked for. All info that needs to match when I finally apply for my ETA.
3 days later its still not approved and I fly on on Sunday.
Apparently is is my fault for asking him to do it because he's "not good at forms" (he managed to do his own) and I'm U because I'm worried that I now wont be able to go and I'm angry with him. He also says its his employers fault as they didnt tell us until Monday to get these visas. Again, his was approved straight away.

I've just spent £40 on the phone to Oz immigration to be told I have to wait and it could take a week. I stand to lose all the money I've paid for the flight and no holiday I had to book leave for.
Of course, I could get an email by the morning saying it's been approved.
I understand this is very much first world problems but surely he needs to take some responsibilty for this?

I’ve arrived at my first stop and have treated myself to an upgrade on the flight please tell me you only upgraded yourself!

Oh yes! I’m travelling without him, a day earlier as I couldn’t get on his flight. I’ve had a night in a 5 star hotel in the Middle East, a shopping trip and a lie around the pool. He’s flying all the way there in Economy 😃

That’s absolutely hilarious, OP. I’ve a funny feeling he’ll not be such a dick with paperwork again. 🤣 What did he say, when you booked the upgrade?

SSDGM · 10/02/2019 15:19

He doesn’t know yet. Maybe I’ll tell him at some point this week ;)

He doesn't want you to go maybe....

I like your style, OP

Very nice op! I’m glad it worked out, and that you are enjoying your upgrade! Necessary for stress recovery, and presumably cheaper than refunding you everything!
