DH and I are newly married and we very very rarely argue. Last night we had an argument. It was very short lived and no one was wrong/right, more just a difference of opinion on emotional matters.
Things were resolved before we went to sleep but this morning but when we touched on it briefly, it came up again, with him reiterating his views from the previous night (albeit kindly, not angrily). The topic was quite specific hence not sharing here as it’s identifying (and not relevant to the post).
We’re supposed to have brunch with his parents today, something we do fairly often. Most weeks. We are both working this morning so we’ll meet at the restaurant and won’t get to chat before then.
I really don’t feel like going. It’s not to punish him in any way, I just feel a bit drained from the conversation and like I’m processing some of the things that were said. Not sure I much fancy having to shake it off and put a smiley face on.
That said, if we had something planned with my family and he cancelled last minute, particularly under these circumstances, i think I’d be pretty peeved!
AIBU to skip it? I’m genuinely not angry with him. Just feeling deflated and a bit tired from the disagreement and might benefit from spending those couple of hours wandering round the shops alone with my thoughts or something.
Is that horribly immature and self serving though?
