Not quite as bald as that BUT...
We've planned a night out in London for some time - favourite singer doing a solo show. Trains & hotel booked (cheaply as well in advance, non-refundable).
We've just heard the gig has been cancelled. We're friendly with lots of other fans (online community who meet up at gigs) & the general consensus is sod it, most people have also booked non-refundable travel & accommodation, so let's make a night of it anyway.
Not quite as simple as that for us - we've young children so overnight babysitting is an additional hassle. We have it sorted, but it's a moot point whether it'd be more sensible to forfeit the cost of travel/accommodation & save our 'sitter favours' for another time.
I'm really up for the night out - lots of people I've not seen in ages going. Dh less bothered. He's said - HALF jokingly - that he's only prepared to go if I promise we can take full advantage of hotel room, as it were.
I'm probably not going to be keen. Since having children, my libido is NOT what it was. Then again, I might get a bit pissed & be happy to play along...the point is that I don't like feeling pressured...
& I don't want to upset dh. He tries to understand why I'm so off sex, but he finds it hurtful at the best of times. This tends to manifest itself in pseudo-jokey comments of the 'well I'm not going unless I'm on a promise' variety. Grrrrr.
