My DH decided to go away for 8 days over Easter and into this week on a long distance walk with several male colleagues. We both work full time and I felt a bit sad we would not have 4 days together at Easter but thought if he wanted to go then I would be accepting, and it is sponsored for charity.
The training for the walk took up days of his time in the run up and I tried to be understanding about that too.
I had the thought that it might be nice to drive over and join him one evening and stay the night, as it is in a really beautiful part of the country and not too far away. He said it was a "Blokes thing" and that would be frowned upon, and also that as the rooms were already booked and they were sharing it would not be possible anyway. I was really sad about this as 8 days is a long time apart for us.
He rang last night for a chat and just dropped into the conversation that one of the other wives had joined them for the day and was staying over!!! He said she had walked with them all day too. When I said I was not happy about what he had said to me earlier he said I wouldn't be able to manage a 20 mile walk anyway - which was a bit of an insult as I'm reasonably fit.
Up to last night I'd felt resigned but very lonely, now I feel really cross that he was not straight with me about this - AIBU?
