Annoyed

This is going to be a long vent - sorry in advance.

I have a girls trip planned this weekend to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday.  I booked this trip and planned the logistics of it 2 months ago.  I had to book a flight out of an airport that is 2 hours away because it was A LOT cheaper.  Also, at the time I didn't think it was much of a problem to book it from there because it is near where DH's parents and my parents live. 

The plan was to have one of my parents or ILs take me to the airport tomorrow. I'd drive to their house, leave my car there, then they'd drive me to the airport. On Sunday DH would pick me up at the airport.  H and V were supposed to spend the weekend with my ILs so they would be near the airport anyway. 

Now H is all huffy about putting his parents out to take me to the airport and because he has to stay at his parents and pick me up on Sunday.  My parents are on vacation this week and aren't around to help me out.  (They didn't have this trip planned when I booked mine). I told H I would pay to park and he insists that I can't do that because we need to save the money and he doesn't think leaving the car at the airport all weekend is safe.  Yet in the same breath all he has done this week is complain about it.  Plus, he keeps saying things to V about me leaving him and he has asked me a few times if I feel guilty or regret planning the trip.  Um, no I was excited, but his attitude is ruining my excitement about the trip.

end rant.

Babysteps it is funny you ask if this is his normal reaction to girls time.  I almost included it in my first post, but it was getting long as it is.  He used to give me a hard time about girls weekends before we were married. I haven't done anything like this for a few years now so it hasn't been an issue.  I guess some things never change.  Also, he hasn't done very much on his own since Vito was born.  He goes to happy hour with coworkers about once a month and out with his friends only a handful of times.  So maybe he is jealous that I get to do something fun without him.  I'd probably feel the same way if he was going away for the weekend. 

Right after I posted this he sent me an IM (we are both at work right now) saying that he and V will be at the airport with smiles on their faces to pick me up.  I think he could sense how upset I was this morning and was trying to be nice.

Hmm...I don't know where you are flying out of, but when I did my long weekend back in April, I drove myself up to Detroit Metro, parked my Jeep in the big garage attached to the airport and when I returned, my vehicle was still there, safe and sound, upon my return and I think Friday to Monday cost me around $40 and no one else was put out.

I hate when I am excited or looking coward to something and dh's negative attitude puts me in a bad mood and leaves me feeling guilty about his annoyances and dissatisfaction.

Hope you really get to enjoy your trip

Pittsburgh.  Which is a completely safe airport.  We can afford the $30ish it would cost to park there.  He's just being a butt.

Not cool but maybe he's dealing with the jitter bugs of having to be solely in charge of the LO while you're gone and (how dare you, insert sarcasm here) having fun?
