I think he just panicked and wanted to get out of it free of guilt.

Asunto: OT: How to ruin a date OR grounds for divorce

Last night's plans were heavenly!

I washed the car, bought new clothes (even though they didn't fit), took

a

late shower, dropped Jacqui off at my friends house at 4:15 and dh was

ready

to go at 4:30. Right on schedule. We had planned to be out until about

10pm.

We had 5:15 reservations at a place called Olives. An upscale

restaurant at

the Bellagio Hotel on the strip, overlooking the Fountains. The food was

FANTASTIC and I indulged in two Espresso is.....what a great

beginning

to our evening.

We had two tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld at the Colluseum (Celines new

place) for what we thought was 7:30. We took a leisurely walk (even

though

my shoes were KILLING me), from The Bellagio to Caesar's. Dh dropped $5

on

poker and then we decided to go in. We get to the ticket taker, she

scan's

our tickets, has a quizzical look on her face, then says:

THESE TICKETS ARE FOR TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHH

!!!!!!!

How do you all think things went from there? Do you know how hard it is

for

us to get out ONE night, let alone TWO?

I kept my cool at first but was seething inside. I went to the ladies

room

to call my friend to tell her what happened and that we would be home

soon

to get Jacqui. Luckily she offered to take Jacqui tonite, but I did not

tell dh that.

When I came out he said " Will watch her tomorrow night? " I said

" I

don't know, I guess your going to have to work it out. " He said " Why

does

it all fall on ME? "

WHAT??? WHAT???!!!! Could it be that *I* am the one who always makes

the

plans? Could it be that HE TOLD ME he bought tickets for the 2nd? Then

he

had the audacity to tell me " Well you've been holding the tickets for 2

months " . NO!! Not true. I didn't even LOOK at the tickets. Why should

I?

If I would have questioned the dates, he just would've gotten defensive.

He really doesn't get it. He gave me a fleeting apology later on. I

think

I'll shall make him continue to pay until after tonite.

I remember once when n was younger, my dh gave me tickets to the

symphony for my birthday. While I understand that it was a good idea in his

mind, I was secretly livid - - like I'm gonna wave my magic wand and conjure

up a babysitter out of thin air (no friends, family, or contacts whatsoever

in a new city at the time, strangely the city isn't new anymore and we still

have no friends, family, or contacts, but I digress)

In the end I was able to reschedule the symphony tickets to coincide with a

time when his mother would be visiting.

So will you get to go?

**waving hand wildly** I'm from MA. :-) I took the long road. Moved back

AZ, met dh, originally from KY, and then we moved here.

Yup! Gloucester and Rockport make up Cape Ann. :-)

Re: OT: How to ruin a date OR grounds for

>>I grew up and lived in Gloucester<< Is that the North Shore by Cape

Anne? Beautiful area. The ocean (water in general) was that the thing I

missed the most when we lived in CO. However the Rocky Mountains are quite

nice to see out your window also. I too am glad we are around family while

raising the boys.
