Moody because I am going out

SIL messaged earlier on asking if I wanted to go out for a few drinks tomorrow night. I told DP and straight away he said no. I told him I have my own voice and that actually I might do. Anyway, I stuck to my guns and I am looking forward to a night out. I never ever get to go out due to childcare plus I don’t have many friends but his mum is having our DC over night tomorrow (this was already planned before I was asked to go out) I’m a SAHM so life can be hard sometimes and lonely plus DP has a hobby that he goes and does twice in the week and all day every Saturday. His friend messaged him during the week and asked if he wanted to go out tonight and I never said anything about it, in fact I encouraged him but he hasn’t gone out. He’s been a bit moody with me since I told him I am going although he says there’s nothing wrong with him. But the shift in his mood from before SIL messaging me to now says different. Am I actually doing anything wrong with going out because it feels like I am?

What makes him think he has a right to say no! Fucking hell. Controlling selfish arsehole!

Exactly what I was going to post. I doubt this is the first time he's acted like this, and I doubt that he treats you as a total equal in other respects, right? In which case the reason he thinks he has the right to say no is that he's a sexist dinosaur arsehole.

Well done for going.
I hope he want sullen, or narky, &/or came out with, what did you talk about? who was there? where did you go?what did you drink? & insinuations & accusations of flirting, etc etc
Because the silent treatment beforehand is the start of a slippery slope, where you finally stop going because it "makes life easier" soon you realise, your friends have faded away, you rarely see your family. He will make gatherings difficult or cause a fight beforehand etc.. you wont go to clubs, hobbies, sport. Your life will diminue to being his possession, but not even one he treasures, just dominates & abuses.
It's domestic abuse & will not stop unless you make a stand. & even then, he probably won't change

Yes, my ex was like this too. Mine always invented an argument when it was my birthday, too, to make sure my day was ruined.
