My fabulous manager is leaving . She has been an absolute bedrock to me and I was gutted when she handed in her notice, two weeks ago.
It's her leaving do tonight and I booked babysitter and told DH. He was very meh about the whole thing, mainly I think because it's being held in a nightbluc (but at 8pm, come on, it's not going to be heaving with drunken 18 year olds then), but agreed to come. Note: we haven't had a night out in five months (New Year). And it wasn't even going to be a "night out", rather just pop along for a few drinks and leave around ten-ish. Plus our support worker was going to be playing and I thought it would be nice to sort of cheer him along.
Well, DH has been held up at work, and won't be home til 830. He then says he'll need to shower etc and won't be able to leave til 9, we'll get there at 930 and "it'll be full of drunken idiots". He obviously doesn't want to go, I said as much (not in a losing temper sort of way) and he hung up on me.
So I've sent the babysitter home. I'm just upset because:
a. I wanted to say goodbye.
b. I feel he could have just put up with it,just for an hour. I never get to go out (well, like I said, last time was five months ago). So stupid, I booked the babysitter 90 mins early so I could have a bath, facemask etc without 3 children in my hair. I even went out and bought facemask and stuff just to do a bit of a pamper with as well. I miss going out. Not that much, but pre-children I had a really good social life and would quite like to do it every now and again, iyswim.
c. I wanted my colleagues to meet him. And vice versa.
I do believe he's been genuinely held up. Just disappointed I guess. Oh yes, and he's got his friends (a couple) coming to stay all w/end, so I get to run around, cook and play hostess (which I don't mind, I like them) for his friends, but he won't even go out for an hour or so for me.
Rant over. Sorry for the essay. Thanks for listening.
