DH is killing me here and I don't know what to do!
We haven't seen his family in a long time, not even at the wedding, so we planned to drive the 4 hours to see them on Saturday - Sunday. This worked for me because one of my good friends is coming in from out of town tonight and I made dinner plans with her and some other friends.
Last night, DH told me that he wants to leave work early and see his family today so that we can play trivia tomorrow night with his friends. This would mean that I'd have to cancel on my friend, and probably not see her until Sunday, if she's still around.
So what would you do? I can't stand canceling plans (hello, that's why I make them in advance!), but I also understand that DH doesn't get the chance to do a lot with his friends/family either. Should I suck it up and do what he wants?
p.s. I'm probably being stubborn and selfish, but it's hard to let go of my principles sometimes.
Re: WWYD?
Can you go to lunch/brunch or even and early dinner with your friend? And then go play with his friends later?
Or maybe even have dinner with her and then afterwards you can invite her to go with you guys to play trivia with his friends if she wants to.
Great ideas Normailed! I was also going to suggest inviting her to trivia.
I think she means, her friend is going to be intown where she lives not where they are going for the weekend. I don't know what I would do. I also HATE changing plans. I think you should leave early tomorrow morning and see his family during the day.
Guess I was wrong.
She won't be in town until 7pm. He wants to leave today at noon. Usually when we go down there we stay the night since we hate to drive 8 hours in one day (we've done it before, it's painful).
Hopefully she can do something tomorrow night or come to trivia (great idea!). I'm mostly just annoyed that he wants to change our plans at the last minute for the sake of trivia and free beer.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
I hate to say it, but I think I would be pretty irritated with my DH as well.
I'm probably too late, but I am responding anyway.
I think if your friend can do trivia tomorrow night, then no worries, but if not I would stick with your original plans. It would be the principle of the thing for me too!
