Am i being unreasonable?

my husband has turned around this morning and decided he’s going out to watch the football tonight with his friends, and staying out as it’s quite a long taxi journey to where his friends live, he’s decided to stay at his parents in their spare room as that’s where all his mates still live.

this has been sprung onto me & I have actually been looking forward to watching another game together, it’s been exciting, celebrating together etc

now I’m on my own? I feel a bit disappointed and I’ve now got the ump.

AIBU?

This reply is bonkers! WHY do you think what the husband wants to enjoy trumps what the op wants? It is shockingly misogynistic.

and it totally misses the point. A conversation two weeks ago
’i would really like to watch the footie in x town with my mates, it’ll mean leaving at 5, and coming back the next day, is that ok’ is a reasonable convo, and perfectly acceptable as long as the op gets equal ish me time.

is a totally different scenario to announcing in the morning a change of plans from what the op wanted to what he wants and expecting the op to be fine with it.

every single person on this thread who thinks what he did is fine, I think there’s been about 4, is a misogynist, whether they realise it or not. You put making a man happy above a women and genuinely think that’s fine.

To be fair, not necessarily, the op has been asked this several times and not answered.

if not, maybe the handful of dickpanderers on this thread who think it’s absolutely fine for men to do whatever they want regardless of impact, are privy to information that we’re not rather than outright misogynists.

Well one of the kids is only 2 and they're married so it's pretty safe to assume the child is his. Although I know not necessarily it is the most likely
