Dd is away on camp and do and I had a few date nights planned. However, now do ex has swapped arrangements and we are going to see fireworks with ex, her man and baby and dad.
I get on well with ex and dad but I'm sad that one rare date night has gone. We still have 1 left btw. Dp wants to see fireworks with his child which I get...

Sometimes we all do a group outing with ex as it means to can spend time with his dd etc.

It's ok to feel disappointed, but it would not be ok to say so when you still have a night to yourselves.

Agree that’s it’s ok to be disappointed.

Can you do something extra special on the spare night?

You are not bad.

It is ok to feel disappointed and it is ok to say it to your DP. You should actually discuss it...your needs are equally important to his so if he changed arrangements to suit his ex and dd and disappointed you in the process he should know. I would also expect him to come up with another arrangement where you get your lost date night.

I was really confused at first, but I’m guessing you were meant to write dsd instead of dad?
I understand why you’re disappointed. I would be too. You should tell him how you feel!
My partner wouldn’t dream of doing what yours has planned on doing.

Dd I meant...not dad. It's all sorted...he is sorry but things like bonfire night is special to his dd and he dosnt want to miss out. I get it and I'm looking forward to the night. Still disappointed but we have a special date night on Wednesday planned
