Can I have some views on this please?

I have an ok relationship with my partners brothers wife, we don’t particularly have too much in common and I wouldn’t say I gel with her that well. Am I expected to go out with her and do other things together?
I was taking my daughter out at the weekend to the cinema as a treat and to spend time together as work always gets in the way, she had mentioned brothers wife wanted to come and I said no to my daughter for above reasons but it’s got back to the brothers wife which I feel awful about. She didn’t ask me directly if she could come and I probably would have said yes if she had.
OH has gone mad saying I never include her and I keep her at arms length and has made it all out like I’m a bad/ nasty person . I’ve felt really upset all morning.

OH isn’t nice at times, he can be controlling and very shouty!

Why, why, why are you with him? What a horrendous example for your daughter.

This.

He sounds absolutely awful.

It's your choice wether to invite your sil. Not your dp. Your not leaving her out she wasn't included.

Your dp reaction is odd. I'd suggest he takes her to the cinema if he's that bothered.

Now I’ve thought about it, it was my choice whether I invited her or not and I won’t be feeling bad for wanting to just spend one on one time with my daughter. I’m probably more annoyed over OH silly reaction, making me feel bad again which he does on a regular basis.
