DH and Stag night qaundry??

[melsy]

Dh would like to go on a much needed weekend away on stag night in Amsterdam. There are several issues with this , mainly the financial expense which is really not needed right now £300 +. Also part of me is worried about spending a night alone right now, anxiety attacks and all (but they are declining now).There is also the fact that the stag is for a close uni friend of 13 years and we socialise with him amnd fiance and dont know what to say. They are not close to me. I mentioned them on the thread "stupid things people say withought kids" thread, so I have nothing to loose, but dh has if he upsets him by not going. If he doesnt make a decision soon he will loose the oppurtuntity to get a cheap flight.

Sounds like u have a lot of experience spacemonkey. You are good at councelling. Cheque in the post!!

If we couldn't afford it I'd say err, no matey, we can't afford it but I'd expect my dp to come to this conclusion all by himself. How would your dh feel if you went and spent 300 quid on something right now? If he wouldn't like it then he should see the problem. For us that's a sizeable proportion of our monthly rent so I'd be very unhappy if my dp wanted to go and spend this amount while we were quite broke. In your position I'd be doubly peed off since you're very down and don't want to be alone atm. So my view is no, he shouldn't go. A few beers or a night out, yes but a whole weekend costing 300 quid (sorry, pound sign not working!) when you're broke and depressed? No.
