to be annoyed with dh? *Long sorry*

[BibiJesus]

This is the second time in 2 weeks he's not done something I've asked him to, resulting in me missing out on something I really wanted to do.

I've booked a band for my birthday party in January, but have had to blind book them as the band I had previously booked have split up. The new band were recommended to me by a friend but I've not seen them play, so last week I asked DH to ask his mother to have the children for us Friday night so we could go see the band ... he didn't ring her until Thursday and by then it was too late, she'd already made plans. Fair enough, I could have rung, but I'd asked him to and he said he would.

So I get in touch with the band and turns out they're playing another gig this Saturday, which is quite local. I was in work today (Dh wasn't) so I asked him to ring the club and get us tickets. He didn't. I rang when I got in from work and guess what...? They'd sold the last tickets earlier this evening.

I am now really, really p*ssed off as that was the last chance I'm going to get to see them play before they play my party. AIBU? Should I just do everything myself?

I sometimes wonder if they do this incompetant thing so we will do it ourselves, Bibi.

Could you ask the band to email you a recording of one of their songs, or a few soundbites?

And no - you aren't being unreasonable.

They're a covers band, so I know what they're going to play and technically they must be good becuase they're really busy, I was more worried about if their energy and stuff was right iykwim? I'm sure they'll be great, but that's not the point.

My DP accused me of loosing his company debit card last week...he thought he had given it to me to book something on the internet and forgot me giving it back...anyway kept whinging about it and going on how I lost it...I found it today in the pocket of his jeans while I was checking them before doing the washing. When I waved it under his nose, he said I must have found it where I had left it and "planted it" in his jeans....

And the moral of the story...men are usually useless unless it is something they want to do.

You are not being U...but I guess you shouldb't be too surprised either!!

I just feel like when it's something important to me I should be able to rely on him. If it was "it's a (rare) fine day, pelase put the washing out" and he didn't, then okay, he's frgetful/stupid, but when it's something I really want ... grrrrrrrr

And Ali, that sounds familiar...
