I love Nye husband would have been happy staying i I actually have been full of the flu so wasn’t feeling amazing so didn’t want to do anything to hectic so I suggested we went for food and then watched the fireworks.

He agreed, our meal finished earlier than planned so we came back as he didn’t want to go to the bar for an hour, when we got back home he then started moaning about going back out to see the fireworks. He then went to lay on the bed scrolling on his phone laughing at TikTok and Instagram stories and sending them to me from the other room. When I said again about going back out to watch the fireworks.

At this point it is 10:30 and I am sat on my own in the front room on nye.

finally managed to get him to watch the fireworks to which is had a mood didn’t even wish me a happy new year and as soon as they were done we came home and he went to bed.

the annoying thing is I was invited off two separate groups of friends to go out husband shock didn’t want to go and of course I wouldn’t of gone without him.

Today nyd we were invited to see some friends which we said we would pop
Down to the bar for an hour today which he seemed happy to do he then said he didn’t want to go so again just sat in the house on New Year’s Day.

Is anyone else’s partner like this I feel like he constantly cancels everything doesn’t take into consideration what I would like to do. I’m feeling so fed up of literally just being on my own.

Yes if you read this forum there are many people complaining of similar behaviour from their partners. Must be something about the time of year.

Things you could try:

  • Tell your partner how unhappy this makes you
  • Ignore your partner and go out and socialise on your own
  • Ltb

Go to things without him of course.

Why does he get to decide your social life? Leave the miserable buggar at home. You may find you prefer a life without him this way. Would that be a bad thing? Imo. No.

The mistake in your post Op is where you say he didn't want to go and of course I wouldn't go without him.He knows if he's says he's not going neither will you. You need to start going alone, even if only for an hour or two, it might shake him out of his complacency

Just go without him, and let him do what he wants.
