I had a long, tiring, busy day at work today, even more so than expected as I covered some hours for a colleague who wasn't feeling well.
I decided I really couldn't be arsed to cook so after work I took myself out to dinner! I'm very lucky in that I live and work in a nice coastal town so I picked a place nearby where I could sit and watch the waves and it was glorious 😍 The food was delicious and I got a pint of fancy craft beer you can't buy in shops 😁
Now I'm not planning on hiding the fact but I know if I tell dp that I went out for food when we had plenty at home he would think it's a waste of money but aibu to think that it really isn't to have some small pleasures in life like this? He's very frugal by nature and was brought up with eating out being a very rare treat so only thinks to do stuff like this on special occasions. I was too, but I love food and am very fortunate to live somewhere with great choices for a lovely meal and a lovely experience so I absolutely don't see it as a waste even though I probably could have made the same thing at home for a fraction of the cost 😂 Aibu and frivolous? Or is this sort of thing definitely worth it?
*Just to add - I'm not well off by any means but the food wasn't expensive and I have no bills left to pay for this month 😁
