Plans made for 2nd anniversary and have to change coz mum wants him to go home early to look after the dog. He's agreed I totally feel like shit.
Am I in the wrong I feel like I'm acting like a spoilt brat but we have been making plans since July. Plus I have a surprise of a hot tub romantic meal and a child free house. He knows I don't have the kids and there is huge surprise to.
Just feel like the effort and money has all been for nothing

This is absutely pathetic.
Leave him to his mother and the dog. Take it as a warning sent from red flag heaven that he is so far under the thumb there is no hope and that you are better off looking for a man who actually behaves like a man and in this instance tell his mother to get a dog sitter, take time off work or get stuffed.

If he really wanted to be with you on this special to you occasion that’s what he would have said.

That's my point. He said today he will tell her no. But I said he should of done that in the first place. Then I said can you come Friday then he said he doesn't know! Something else to do with his mum.

I know what she's like but she's never done it towards me or us. But I know it's because of said the dog can't come here. She knows she has control over her son. The other week he was sorting a week to have his kids but then she said she's having them not even waiting for him to get back to his ex (last minute decision my his ex as she's moving) but she's already had The kids 4 days last week so said she won't be having them again. But now he's not sorted time off work!
She's a mum I get that but why do girls mum's never but in and demand. My exes mum was the same but my mum would never do such a thing.

Anyway my reaction wasn't good that's probs coz what happend with the week off he was ment to be having now this.

If we didn't plan anything I wouldn't mind but to say I don't really like celebrating these days it really annoyed me. I just felt like my plans were worth nothing. Im not gonna get inbetween a mother and son relationship either. So im gonna take a step back and enjoy life. If he doesnt grow a back bone i havent sat aroubd waiting.
Anyway I have a Hot tub so my weekend is sorted. It can't be sent back now haha
