Feeling like my husband never thinks about me!

We have hd our brother in law staying with us all week. I was so looking forward to it as I thought it would be great for my husband and we would have a fun week. However it has left me feeling like our marriage is just not great at all. My husband planned nice things for him and his brother to do but not things I could join in as we have a 9 month old baby. For example they went on a pub crawl this afternoon, they've been to the cinema and bowling. Thia would be OK except as soon as they're home he still doesnt include me as he will put something in TV that only he wants to watch. Also as soon as I've put the baby to bed and sat down to relax he decided he will just go to bed. Which has meant I'm left either sitting with his brother in law who I don't know all that well (he lives far away so only actually met him a few times) or I just have to go to bed too. I feel like he should have made more effort for us all to do some nice fun things together but it's been like I don't matter and almost like he's forgotten me for the week! And for one final rant I would love to get a mummy present from the baby but he didn't think to do this even though I got him presents from the baby for father's day, his birthday and Christmas! I feel like I should talk to him about how he's made me feel this week after his brother leaves tomorrow but am I being unreasonable as I don't think he will understand

It would have been nice for you all to spend at least some time together. Didn't your brother in law want to spend time with his new nephew/niece too?

I'm sure he did but my husband was just making the decisions on what they would do each day and he just went along with it. We had a lovely Christmas day together though I was doing a lot of driving and obviously it was quite a full on day with the baby. I'd said to my husband I was looking forward to relaxing and us all having a drink and watching TV together once the baby was in bed but again he just went to bed to watch videos on his phone as soon as the baby was asleep

He’s an inconsiderate ass. Tell him you’re deciding on the activities next time.
