How unreasonable am I being? (Funeral related)

DH’s aunt died a few weeks ago and her funeral is on Monday. DH told me 2 weeks ago the date and time of the funeral. I met her once but obviously he wants me to go with him.

Since the funeral date was given to me we’ve had Christmas and various other things - this morning I was asked if I could pick my grandson up from school Monday evening. I completely forgot about the funeral and agreed as well as arranging to take grandson for a treat after school which he’s looking forward to. My daughter has now committed to an appointment Monday evening.

I’ve mentioned to DH twice that I’m picking him up from school Monday - he’s not mentioned the funeral once so clearly he hasn’t twigged on either.

I’ve just seen the scribbled note with the funeral details on. I really don’t know what to do! I suffer with social anxiety and I’m autistic so naturally, I’d prefer not to go at all. I don’t know his family other than his mum and sisters - I’ve now committed to DD and DGS and on top of this I literally have nothing to wear for a funeral.

DH still hasn’t mentioned it!

How unreasonable am I being to tell him I can no longer go?

So you have left your daughter in it and put yourself through huge social anxiety to drive drunk people home after a funeral of someone you met once because your DH bought you an outfit.

This is what I was thinking
