To go anyway?

Been invited away for a long weekend with my family who DH gets on well with. I have been every year for the last 5 years, DH has only been once because he is usually working but this year has got the weekend off.

Saying he doesn't want to go. Fine. But also saying l had better let him know if l am going because he's not sitting around all weekend on his own which is him saying he will be stroppy if l go. I know damn well he won't plan anything else - it's only 2 nights - would you go anyway if you were me?

Yes. Why wouldn’t you?

Of course I’d go but my DP would be relishing a weekend to himself, not getting in a strop.

MissMoneyFairy · 09/01/2025 20:14

Od go, if he doesn't want to thats his choice, don't get guilt tripped into booking him anything

Oh go.

I’d leave the idiot man-child to amuse himself and go and get a well earned bit of fun and respite.

"I am letting you know that I am going."

Sorted. He can do whatever.

ilovelamp82 · 09/01/2025 20:17

Of course you go.

100% this. He would be giving me spending money and calling me a taxi as well 🤣

Consider going one way? My dh takes me to the station when I go away with my mate... Once a year as life is too hectic for more!
My exh however would have behaved exactly like yours..
Exh...
Does your dh begrudge you doing other things too op?

No not really - not usually a problem. Just weird he only said at Christmas how much he likes my family. Probably cos it wasn't his idea.
