We've been invited to a wedding. DP is going to DJ for a bit - when he mentioned this this morning I said 'ohhh, I hate that - it means I'm going to be on my own for hours'. I didn't get really upset about it just said it in a normal voice. I'll only know 2 people and the bride and groom and I don't know those 4 people very well so...... Anyway DP's instant reaction was to say 'don't come then I'll take X', a mutual friend to him and groom etc. I replied that I knew when it came to it I'd be fine but if he'd rather take his friend then... and he didn't argue with that just said 'well do you want to go or not'. I told him it was his decision who he chooses to take, (even though the invite is to the 2 of us and our DD). Anyway just spoke to him about something just now and he said again 'so do you want to come'! I'm feeling really peed off about this as it would seem to me that he'd rather take his mate, as he bought it up so quickly as soon as he saw a window of opportunity (me saying I wasn't over the moon at the being on my own while he DJ'd) and has bought it up again, even though I've never said I didn't want to go.
Sorry - I know this is rambled and a rant - but would you be upset / angry that your DP /DH very much seemed to want to take a friend to a wedding rather than you. I personally think it's a bit outrageous and thought that's what stag nights were for.
Once again I call upon Mumsnetters to either help me see reason and calm me down or confirm that my DP is being a b@5t@rd!

Come to think of it he prob knows my brother....

SamboM · 11/09/2003 13:45

My DH is President of the Progressive Policy Institute. I wondered why he kept getting back late...

janh · 11/09/2003 13:48

Thomcat, what does your DH do now? I mean his day job? Whatever it is must be a bit dull and quiet after being a Ministry of Sound (etc) DJ!

Gem13 · 11/09/2003 13:50

This could bring out the (internet) stalker in some

janh · 11/09/2003 13:50

fio, just put my maiden name in and got this :

"versatile and experienced multi-instrumentalist.
Her specialities are the piano and piano-accordion "

which is thrilling - didn't know I could do all that!

fio2 · 11/09/2003 13:52

That sounds quite posh janh, much more interesting than what I got!

ThomCat · 11/09/2003 13:52

Oh god, I can't believe that - I know I'm very open but this is ridiculous!!!
Well yes that's me then, me and my entire family that you know EVERYTHING about!!!!!! Whoops!! Oh well, it's my own fault.

My shoe size is 4 and I'm currently a 36DD!
Think I might come back under another name now. Not sure you should all know so much about me!!!!!!!!
I'm going to slink away now, feel like you're all watching me!!!!!

PS I'm only half serious!!

Poor Thomcat. She's probably left the country ! Either that or she's actually getting some work done

wickedstepmother · 11/09/2003 13:53

Oops sorry, our posts were done within seconds

janh · 11/09/2003 13:53

I'm also a Scottish dog breeder.

janh · 11/09/2003 13:54

Sorry, TC...

(I won't tell anybody, honest).

ThomCat · 11/09/2003 13:55

Sambo - who's your brother?
Mind you how am I going to tell Dom I found out who your brother is, don't think he'd approve of this and wouldn't blame him. Oh dear oh dear.

Gem13 · 11/09/2003 13:56

janh - I'm jealous. I came back as me and DH is him.

Apparently DS was born around 1710. Funny, could've sworn it was last year...

fio2 · 11/09/2003 13:56

I'm sorry too I suppose I contibuted to it aswell

janh · 11/09/2003 13:56

And I have a flock of sheep...

Gem13 · 11/09/2003 13:58

janh - not keen on dogs (so that alter ego doesn't appeal) but the multi-instrumentalist sounds very-dinner-party.

Poor TC. If you come clean, then you'll have to tell DP that you were moaning about him on here!

Mumsnetters can be very secretive. I won't tell him.

wickedstepmother · 11/09/2003 13:58

Oh TC, sorry Feel free to reinvent yourself !

BTW, everyone knows me anyway from my wedding thread, so I'm as unanonymous as you

ThomCat · 11/09/2003 14:01

Oh WSM - are you. I feel very naked now! It's my own doing but I'm so chatty and open about EVERYTHING it was bound to happen - bloody Google!!

OP posts:
wickedstepmother · 11/09/2003 14:02

I've already 'met' jules. He appeared on another MN thread not long ago, 'Claims to fame', I think

wickedstepmother · 11/09/2003 14:03

Me too TC, it's a major vice of mine !

SamboM · 11/09/2003 14:04

Oh yeah WSM, forgot about that! Hardly a claim to fame, are you sure about the thread?
