To have expected him to have said something?

We had a date night planned as we both thought we needed to spend some quality time together so we bought some wine, agreed on a nice meal to have just us once the little ones had gone to bed which is 7:00.

Anyway about 6:50 just as I was upstairs getting the children ready for bed and looking forward to the evening we had planned, step son turned up baring in mind he is in his 20s and lives a 10 minute walk away, I assumed he wouldn’t stay long as Dh would probably say we had already made plans this evening but Dh said nothing while our plans went down the pan and stepson sat there until 10:15 before going home and all Dh could say was it wasn’t his fault as he didn’t know he was going to turn up.
AIBU to have thought he would have said something as we had plans?
I hadn’t bought enough ingredients for a date night for 3 so I didn’t end up cooking the salmon but Dh did open the wine and pour it 3 ways.

From @coulditbeme2323 posts I think she’s in an unhappy relationship. Tracks with the spending a lot too. It can be okay on the other side, don’t worry!

Or stick a plague sign on the door perhaps?

Well, of course. Open door at all times regardless of OP and her DH's priorities vs plague sign on the door. I mean, it's one or the other, isn't it! No middle ground for compromise at all. 🙄
