18 month sleep regression & feeling left out

Hiya mummas,
we are going through the 18 month sleep regression, it’s early days it only started a few days back and me and my husband are so lost because we’ve had about a year of decent sleep from the baby, he had no problems going to bed and will wake up around 7am, it was such a dream but now he’s crying when I leave the room and takes a while to finally get to sleep. Last night he went to sleep ok when I first put him down at 7 but then he woke up at 12am and finally settled at 3am. We have always given him a bedtime routine and have never broke it. I as a mum are starting to feel left out with things, my husband went out with our friends for a poker night and I was left for nighttime with my baby, I couldn’t help but feel so left out, I felt like we couldn’t come along because I’ll be having trouble getting him to sleep as it is( my husband did offer to stay and he drove so he can get back to me if I’m struggling so he was thoughtful) I really felt anxious when he asked if he could go out and leave me to bedtime. I can’t wait for this to be over and have my little one sleeping normally again.
