Theres a bit of history to this so bare with me.
Hubby's bro and sil live down south and come up north to visit about 3-4 times a year. They are visiting at the mo.
We all used to go out on a weekend for a meal or a drink with another couple, hubby and bro's mate since they were kids, anyway for the last 2 years hubby and I have stopped being asked out. We didn't really notice at first but what got us thinking was the last time they were here, they came to our house with the kids and sat mumbling to each other and hardly talking to us. Me, sil and niece went out shopping for an hour and while we were out hubby's bro got a text from the friend. We got back from shopping, Q more mumbling, then they left.
Hubby asked me if sil had said anything about going out, I said 'no' hubby said bro got text from friend, I told him that they had sat mumbling about the text as friend wanted to know if they wanted to go for a meal or just a drink.
Hubby was upset and annoyed and pulled his bro about it when he was on the phone to him. Bro said 'it wasn't an invite only do' :shock: :angry:
It would have been nice to have known about it though! and it would of been rude to invite ourselves when they obviously didn't want us there.
Anyway, Hubby arranged for all of us to go to the Metro Centre yesterday after I finished work and to grab something to eat while we were there, 'good idea we need some shoe for J' was the answer he got. The other friends came along to and we did a bit shopping then when it came to get something to eat the friends didn't want anything but would wait for the rest of us. Bro suggested going to a pub we went to last time,so of we went, when we got there hubby grabbed a menu and asked his bro 'what you havin' kid'
'We're not havin' anything' :rolleyes:
Q me biting my tongue and thinking we could of just gone home :angry:
Our kids were starving by this time and so we got a table and they said they would just wait for us, as the pub wasn't that busy.
I thought they would probably turn up half way through our dinner saying they were going home, but I kept my mouth shut incase hubby thought I was being a cow :rolleyes:
Just as we were finishing our dinner, yep you guessed it, they came over and said they were all going. It had only took us about half an hour FFS! :angry:
We left about 15 mins later, and hubby was stotting mad and I was feeling :hissyfit:
Hubby is still :angry: this morning and now I feel like it must be my fault as they used to go out all the time when hubby was married to his ex :cry:
Even at our wedding last year they looked like they didn't want to be there and all the friend could do was go on about was his empty stomach and when was the food gonna start :angry: :-( His bro couldn't even manage a drink with hubby the night before the wedding, this really upset him :-(
Really sorry for the rant but they have totally peed us off this time and I hate seeing hubby upset :cry: :angry:
