GUYS...I am so dreading tonight.?

I have to hang out with someone I truly do not like and do not want to hang out with. I have been dreading it all week and I haven't left work yet because I am dreading it so much. :-

I normally throw a fit and don't go, but MH obviously wants me to come and he's been so good about coming with me to places he doesn't want to go lately.

UGH. I don't know what to do. I am so miz already and I haven't even left work.

What do I do?!??

Re: :-(

  • In a word?

    Shots.

     

  • Honestly, I wouldn't go.  I'd lie, cheat, and/or steal to keep from going.  YOu already sound miserable and have been since this morning.  So you're already mentally prepared to be miz.  And life is too short to waste a good Friday night on being miz.

    I seriously think DH would understand.

    Drink.

    heavily.

    and start now.

  • This is obviously the best solution. However I am known to say things I (or other people) will regret when I drink. And I will have to drink a LOT to make this tolerable.?

    I can really see a disaster in the future. ?

  • Alternatively, don't drink. Drive separately. Feign that you're not feeling well, but you wanted to at least come to say hello. Say hello. Leave early.

    ?I KNOW. I know. And he knows how I feel about the situation, which is why I can't believe he even asked me. And he had this hopeful tone, too. It made me sad.

    The thing that kills me is that he tries to sell it to me by saying "We'll get to see so-and-so's baby!"

    I'm like, "Eff. Do you know me AT ALL?!? I've seen a picture of the thing...do I care so much about seeing some baby that I will drive to RANCHO and hang out with someone I can't stand to spend time with a baby when I don't hold or touch babies?!?"

    Serio. ?

    It's like an hour away. Sad?

  • I just don't see the point in spending 30min to 1 hour driving one way, to go keep company for an hour or more while being miz, and to then just spend another 30min or so driving back home.

    That's like 3 hours of your life wasted Jess!  When you could be nesting, drinking, reading - in the comfort of your own home.

    Omg.  Jess. RANCHO? (I don't even know WHICH Rancho you're referring to but they are ALL too far, imo).  And combined with all this new info - DEF don't go.

    Poor MrYL.  But I'm sure you can make it up to him.

    I know this.

    I have several books to read. I have tests to grade. I have some writing to do. I have homework for my novel class.

  • You're a much nicer wife than me though.  I have a little inkling that you'll end up going.  Wink

    I will because I feel like I owe him. He came with me to bff's parents' house for Christmas when she was in town. BUT...he does not feel for bff the way I feel about this chick. He likes my bff.?

    (Who is probably reading this right now and telling everyone. ::waves:: )

    I will let H know before we leave how I feel about going (he knows and usually lets me off the hook), but if he wants me to go, I will go. Bah.

    ::slicing wrists::

    (Oh, and it's Rancho Cucamonga)?

  • Will there be anyone else there worthy of your time?

    Personally, I would suck it up and try and find ANY positive thing to focus on ( how cute and thin you will look, get to wear a cute outfit, quality time driving to rancho w/ the hubby..etc..)

     MH has a friend that is just out right RUDE ( he once made me sit through a movie at his house in a completly different language after repeadedly being asked to change the language...no subtitles..nada..ass) and when I HAVE to be around him ( and his lame ass wife) I just try and be cordial and not speak too much ( this is difficult for me) but MH rarely asks me to see them...and I make him hang out with ppl he dosent care for a lot...I never have the option to drink so perhaps that will work for you! GL friend!

    UGH! Rude!

    I am usually downright bitchy, but I have a hard time doing that in her house. I have a little class. (Maybe...we'll see after tonight)?

    I don't know who else is going to be there... :-

  • Perhaps this will be fodder for a short story or a novel in the future Yes

    Sorry, trying to stay positive...

  • Good luck and pos vibes that he feels sorry for you and doesn't ask you to go.

     Do you think you can fall down the stairs or something when you're walking to the car so that your excuse is that you're hurt?

  • I think you should make an appearance and then go hang out with starlily313!
  • Just go this one time. Maybe it's like jury duty; you won't be expected to see them again for 12 months.

    Here's to hoping this is the case. GL! 

  • It just started POURING and I heard H mutter "I don't want to drive to Rancho in the rain..."

    Think positive thoughts!!

  • I spoke too soon.

    He delivered the french toast and then said, "Then we have to get read as soon as we are done eating."

    Oh man, I really wish I read this earlier. I just got back from happy hour with friends. I could have plotted with Y_L to be at the same location so that she could casually run into us and avoid these people. Sorry Y_L!
