Am I being over dramatic

Tell me if I am being over dramatic.

So Mother's Day yesterday I got a card from my husband/from my daughter he said he will be taking me away on Sunday coming for a night instead of buying gifts turns out they double booked so he cancelled it. We said to look for somewhere else. I found somewhere and he was like yes perfect we will book later, come to book and he says he hasn't got the money even tho it's cheaper than what he paid. I said it's fine we won't go. So we are not going. This same thing happened with my birthday a few years ago he booked somewhere for us to go, it got cancelled due to covid and we couldn't go so for my birthday I got nothing. I don't mean to be ungrateful as I know it's not about gifts or whatever, but just annoys me I put so much effort in everyone Else's occasions and I seem to miss out. I'd rather him not bother at all instead of giving me false hope. I said in future don't bother booking things if it's not going to happen.

Am I over reacting? I am acting like I am not bothered but it has annoyed me

‘I said it’s fine then we won’t go’

Why did you say this if it wasn’t fine?

@KellyJonesLeatherTrousers tbh I don't know, I was pissed off. Didn't want it to seem I'm upset

I'd be doing the same for his birthday.

Telling him I was taking him away for whatever his ideal weekend would be - then cancelling last minute and admitting I hadn't actually booked it and didn't have the money. I'd be adding cheerfully, But I know you won't mind, cos that's what happened on my birthday AND on Mothers' Day.

That's pretty shit. How was he going to pay for the other place if they had not been double booked? Were they really double booked? Or did he just say this.

Why didn't you want to seem upset. You were upset.

Franny0696 · 28/03/2022 19:28

Tbh I have no idea. I didn't see proof that he has booked it so no idea. Just crap really. I didn't wanna seem upset and make a big deal out of it

First step is to vocalise how you’re feeling with him. He’s not a mind reader. Good luck!

@KellyJonesLeatherTrousers I did around an hour ago, he said he doesn't have the money as it's bill week this week. I said I get that but why say you are going to take me away when you knew it was bill week. I just said it happened before for my birthday and then it happens again it's like you don't care etc.

He said sorry but that's it really 😂
