No. he's being horrible.

Is that too blunt? I was even using polite words

You are not being oversensitive. He is being overselfish.

It's your pre birthday dinner, he's saying he can't go and if you go alone he'll look the bad guy!!!

Errrr, hello......you are being the bad guy, you pillock!

Go alone and beofre you got cut the plug off the Tv without him looking.

LadyTophamHatt · 01/11/2005 08:55

not you, as in you, I mean you as in him.......

What an unbelievably selfish t**t he sounds ss.
You go my darling and have a lovely time.

If he that thoughtless, you will have a much better time without him. If he went with you, you would be feeling on edge because he would be cross about missing the football.

Not that I understand it, but my ime there is no point asking a man to choose you over a sports event he wnts to see. It's better to wait til there is no clashing match and then he is more likely to give you his full attention.

Enjoy your dinner with your mum and sister

SS I would not think twice about going and would not make any excuses for him If he wants to behave like an idiot I would make sure he knows everyone will know he is an idiot.

You go and have a good time Happy birthday

foundintranslation · 01/11/2005 09:12

he doesn't seriously expect you to stay in so HE doesn't look bad does he?
He'd better spoil you rotten on your birthday (when?) to make up for this one.

I would never choose a TV programme over going out with a loved one, not ever. Nor would my dh. He enjoys the footy but only if it's not putting anyone out for him to watch it.

But expecting you not to go is even worse.
