To not want to go out yet again this weekend?

For a month and a half every weekend we have had to go out to some social thing. It was my Mum's birthday one week then DH's Dad's. Then It was his aunts party, then a party for DH's work, then we had his relatives visiting so there was a party for that and DP also had his friends round to watch the football where I made food and was hospitable, I usually don't mind but it just too much. Now his sister has invited us all to her house tomorrow night for an impromtu party and I just don't want to go. Its fair to say I am an introvert but I don't mind seeing people and I do like his family but I need a quiet weekend, DH is kind of the same but feels a lot of pressure to attend as its mostly his family.

I am seeing my friends next weekend (a day out not at home) and I have been looking forward to this weekend being a time to recharge but it's been snatched away from me now. I seriously felt ill and hung over from his aunt's party and I don't even drink! I just wanted to go to the gym tomorrow, cook some nice food, have a bath, read and watch movies all weekend now I've got to be ... sociable 😡

You don't have to go? Just say you're feeling a bit under the weather and let DH go....

Another vote for the 'So sorry to miss it but we already have plans' line. When it all starts getting too much I frequently block weekends on my calendar as 'DO NOTHING'. This way I can with clear conscience say that I'm already booked up watching terrible Hallmark movies and drinking wine on the sofa.
